stevebrum Posted January 21, 2016 Report Share Posted January 21, 2016 Does that mean Cradley are likely to start on Monday 28th, as Wolves are Tuesday 29th? I think the plan was for both teams to have home meetings on Easter Bank Holiday We will find out when the NL release there fixtures I guess. CVS said it would give Wolves the May and August Bank holidays which as senior club it rightly should have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magnificentseven Posted January 21, 2016 Report Share Posted January 21, 2016 At least the away meetings seem quite well spaced out, but it does make quite depressing reading seeing so few fixtures on there. Wolfie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CVS said at the talk-in that it all depended on the Polish fixtures, if they were riding on the bank holiday Monday, then Wolves would ride on the Tuesday. No Polish fixtures and it would have been the other way round Wolves Monday, Spoons Tuesday. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It used to be speedway at Monmore on a Tuesday with Cradley that meant nothing to most Wolves fans. Nothing has changed. No doubt CVS is hoping those who want a weekly fix of Speedway will do every Monday. Most Wolves fans won't. In the reverse I can't see many Cradley fans going to the Wolves matches either. It's the same reason I don't travel to Workington to watch Ricky Wells - not my team so not interested. Plus I watch enough NL working at Birmingham. I have no interest to watch Cradley as well. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think on Spoons Monday I would prefer to be in the pub with my mates. When Cradley were open I only went for Wolves fixtures and no other, ever, and I 've been a Wolves fan since 1967! I never gave the Spoons an extra penny of my money then, and I won't now. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

INCOGNITO Posted January 24, 2016 Report Share Posted January 24, 2016 It will be interesting to see how the fixtures work together if there are rain offs as many Wolves fans won't want to or be able to go on any other night than a Monday and fitting in these could be to much lower crowds. There are a few weeks of consecutive matches in the fixtures so at times Cradley won't have a home match for 3 weeks and if rained off this could be a month. Think this would have been better if they could have held the Cradley fixtures on a Sunday and Monday just for Wolves and on alternative weeks. Poland are starting their league in April it looks like so the Bank Holiday Monday may be other meetings there ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex2000 Posted February 2, 2016 Report Share Posted February 2, 2016 The majority of Wolves fans have no interest in watching Cradley, and why would we? They are going to do better than wolves!!! I would go and see the Heathens over the wolves. If the signing list and averages are right on the forum the team is shocking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as EL sides go none look hugely impressive, other than Poole and Belle Vue. On paper Wolves look no weaker than the rest. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bagpuss Posted February 2, 2016 Report Share Posted February 2, 2016 I'd say Swindon look better but 4th place is anybody's really as the rest look as poor as each other in comparison. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean Cradley are the better team than wolves to watch they won't lose loads of matches. 1.Joonas Kylmakorpi 6.80 2.Jacob Thorssell. 6.18 3.Mikkel Bech 6.16 4.Freddie Lindgren. 6.11 5.Sam Masters 5.60 6. Kyle Howarth. 5.53 7. Max Clegg 3.00 You have a 6 point rider as your number 1 and Kylmakorpi Is a very on and off rider. They are banking on Lindgren going good again which I don't think he will. Cradley look more promising than Wolves in their respective leagues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cradley look more promising than Wolves in their respective leagues. Entertainment is the key to me which Monmore offers in abundance. Can't see the argument on Cradley being better to watch because of the amount of more meetings they may or may not win. As far as averages go they tell a small story. Lots of riders on low averages last season. GP stars Zagar 7.83, Harris 7.34, Jonsson 7.98, Holder 7.47, Kildemand 7.10 all failed to top an 8 point average whilst Batchelor didn't make a 7 (6.91). Only one rider managed an average over 9 (Doyle) whilst even Magic and Iversen fell short of 9 point averages. Down from 2014. Time will tell if Freddie improves but he remains a class act in the EL. Cradley look to have a decent side for the NL although Birmingham and Eastbourne slightly stronger. Seems no difference to me as only 2 teams in the EL look better than the rest. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pinny Posted February 3, 2016 Report Share Posted February 3, 2016 Lindgren a class act in the el yet has a lower average than batchelor who is slated on a regular basis! Lindgrens on a huge downward spiral and his el average, exit from the gps and other league figures show this. He was absolutely awful last season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arnieg Posted February 3, 2016 Report Share Posted February 3, 2016 Unless you are a Cradley fan, watching them win 60-30 doesn't sound that exciting. Whereas watching the rather indifferent looking Wolves lineup could result in several tight matches and last heat deciders. Deffo Wolves for the better speedway in 2016. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
