Lord Lucan Posted May 15, 2016 Report Share Posted May 15, 2016 i think a small amount of the blame has to fall with the fixture list and how it pans out . why start the season in march , have a few meetings and then (we) have a 3 week waiting time for our next meeting at home and now (at this moment in time) we dont have one the following Saturday . is there that much of a rider shortage that at a certain time in the season our riders are riding for different clubs . speedway is a summer sport , so lets start it in the summer season and compact it into an Adrenalin powered blast . keep all those gp qualifiers ect for the top guys and let the pl and nl get on with entertain g fans . fans in big coats cant get excited abut the sport , all wrapped up like a mommy . still trying to be nice . Our fixture list seems to pan out like, every now and again for the first three months then all hell lets loose for the last three, come the business end riders are either injured or burned out and we end up polishing wood instead of metal?

topaz325 Posted May 16, 2016 Report Share Posted May 16, 2016 Well done to Somerset , the better team won on the night, not a good start by the Comets, 2-4, 2-4 then 1-5! Not helped by two engine failures in heat 3. Yes bit of a stop start season regarding fixtures which is not very good for fans or riders, seems to be the way with a lot of teams though? Not helped by a few rain offs too. Not sure if the late organisation of a pairs meeting will attract many casual fans though? Still better than no Speedway at all thougth.
