seanmuffe Posted November 13, 2015 Report Share Posted November 13, 2015 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.

It'll be no one at 7.45 unless we see a half decent side! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
screm Posted November 13, 2015 Report Share Posted November 13, 2015 1.boo 2.boo 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.

Baldyman Posted November 14, 2015 Report Share Posted November 14, 2015 No maybe we have signed a different Nielsen? Or maybe swindon are changing to a Friday all elite league clubs will be doing over the next few seasons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dontforgetthefueltapsbruv Posted November 14, 2015 Report Share Posted November 14, 2015 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 .....

ZODIAK Posted November 14, 2015 Report Share Posted November 14, 2015 (edited) "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.. Edited November 14, 2015 by Hong Kong Phooey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dontforgetthefueltapsbruv Posted November 14, 2015 Report Share Posted November 14, 2015 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZODIAK Posted November 14, 2015 Report Share Posted November 14, 2015 Is Ashley's average higher than Lewis Rose? Just like Nielsen, I really don't fancy Morris in the 1-5 either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2ndbendbeerhut Posted November 14, 2015 Report Share Posted November 14, 2015 (edited) 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. .....

dontforgetthefueltapsbruv Posted November 14, 2015 Report Share Posted November 14, 2015 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.......

allthegearbutnaeidea Posted November 14, 2015 Report Share Posted November 14, 2015 If instead of Stefan Nielsen you have Adam Ellis then you have a very nice team imo, a lot better than with Nielsen in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
