How about Friday as the main night with Sunday the alternative

Only joking but it would be interesting to see how the numbers changed if they did move race night to a Friday, it might attract a few more and if it was not just speedway but say another two wheeled sport (short track) or junior championships on the new bikes being developed etc then it might attract a new base of supporters and widen the appeal. Something needs to be done in general within the sport given the dated presentation and the punter needs to feel that they are being entertained and getting value for money.

 

15 races over two hours no longer cuts it for many. As an old long time follower I remember some banger races following the speedway meetings at Rayleigh and while I,m not suggesting for one minute that this is an option, it was dear old Uncle Len who would try most things to get the punters in and I can never remember large numbers leaving after heat 13, most stayed for the second half and you still saw quality racing with the up and coming riders given a chance against the main team members. All good fun and fun is what is missing a lot of the time now.

With an absent Number 1 or aren't we signing Danny that should boost the crowd............glad you mentioned Len we could nick his advert

Make it a date

No one at eight.

3.barley

4.mcgrew

5.Cuthbert

6.dibble

7.grub

 

It's probably what will be left when all the other promoters have picked their riders

 

Boo Boo and Barley are signing for Glasgow, isnt everyone, Mcgrew and Cuthbert will need visas before signing, Grub has signed and is on £120 per point according to some on here, and Officer Dibble is needed by Top Cat after a spate of cat burglaries.

Clever that's the Witches 7 I spotted your clever disguise of Hilton and Louis.

Or maybe thats why Chris had been saying not all riders had actually been signed even though the team was effectively complete and explains why there could be no official announcenent .....

"Rossiter said: We picked Stefan initially in the draft, but we held fire on announcing it as there was some confusion regarding where hed be riding in the Premier League.

 

Thats all been sorted now so he'll definitely be free to ride for us, and we are delighted to have him on board."

 

That must mean he's not a Witch then surely?

 

Perhaps we'll be seeing a different 1-7 then the "leaked" one after all..

I would imagine that Ashley in place of Stefan seems the straightforward change .

 

I havent worked out what it would leave us with assuming the other 6 remain correct so not able to assess different options.

Looks like history repeats itself with a EL club making the Witches having to change a "signed" rider due to the draft pick. Or maybe it wasn't Stefan Nielsen after all? Look at the witches twitter... They followed Simon Nielsen recently... hmmmm interesting. .....

Ash 4.53

Rose 3.84

 

Stefan was 4.74.

 

If both Kerr and Rose get reduction then I think we would have 4.95. If they dont then tge leaked 7 didnt fit anyway!

 

Not a lot of choice in the just under 5 range. Berge Aspergren Wright Wilson Stickhauer the other Nielsen Graversen Bowen Lunna - a few of these retired/not available anyway.

 

After that you drop a point to Branford Barrett Edberg Sissis Castagna Hawkins Konopka

 

My twitter mole did see Ritchie tweet last week - new job #backithegame.......
