Gunner85 Posted January 13, 2017 Report Share Posted January 13, 2017 I am happy with Sunday and a change to 1730 is ok...... much better than a 1500 hrs start. Will be there as often as possible in 2017. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Scunny2012 Posted January 13, 2017 Report Share Posted January 13, 2017 (edited) Still prefer Friday nights I can't make all of Sundays meetings I also preferred Friday nights as speedway is far better at night , tried to make as many meetings as i could last year but i'm afraid after 55 years watching i can now take it or leave it so the earlier time might be a problem, definately wouldn't go with a 1500hrs start Edited January 13, 2017 by Scunny2012 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Halifaxtiger Posted January 14, 2017 Report Share Posted January 14, 2017 Still prefer Friday nights I can't make all of Sundays meetings I can make Sundays but I prefer Friday nights, too (although Sundays means I can do Belle Vue as well, rather than having to choose). Thing is Rob Godfrey made it clear why he switched and I couldn't argue with his reasoning. One thing is certainly true : the quality of the speedway at the best racing track in the country didn't deteriorate one iota. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Went only once last year to Scunny v Somerset and that was the best nights racing i saw all year. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Halifaxtiger Posted January 14, 2017 Report Share Posted January 14, 2017 Went only once last year to Scunny v Somerset and that was the best nights racing i saw all year. I was there. Cracking meeting............but nowhere near as good as Scunny v Edinburgh. That was just amazing. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
montie Posted January 14, 2017 Report Share Posted January 14, 2017 Unfortunately you can't please everybody all of the time and some you can't please at any time. i think that is totally true,5.30 sunday starts totally kill me getting there for most meetings but i think it is the right call to bring it forward an hour, i still miss friday nights tho! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScunnyDan Posted January 14, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2017 Personally I prefer Friday nights myself, but at the end of the day, we're just lucky we have a track to go to and a team to support, more than what some others can say 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was doing the updates that day and words started to fail me it was that amazing. Get yourself up. The Ipswich meeting is usually a good one, Auty's fantastic ride to beat King and Sarjeant was as special as anything that I saw last season and the year before had everything. Brilliant racing, punch ups on the pits and on the track and a sit in. Edited January 16, 2017 by Halifaxtiger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sharpandroid Posted February 8, 2017 Report Share Posted February 8, 2017 Nice to see Josh Auty back with Leicester. Can't believe Ryan Douglas hasn't got a Premiership place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazc Posted February 8, 2017 Report Share Posted February 8, 2017 (edited) Nice to see Josh Auty back with Leicester. Can't believe Ryan Douglas hasn't got a Premiership place. No dis-respect to Douglas but there are far more experienced riders at that level without a spot on similar averages so it is perhaps not surprising he hasnt got a place.

Whilst Leicester haven't got the best team in the prem, they'd absolutely demolish any team in the Championship, especially Scunthorpe. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone seen that Leicester Lions 1-7 ? - if we raced them; and Big Josh rode for us - anyone else think we would be beat them ?; because I do. Just a thought. Yep one of my Photos!! Been a while since i had a front cover. We could do with a good season this year to hopefully get some more. I think we have a good chance this year, all we need is a bit of luck with injuries and to get everyone firing straight away. I love how everyone says we will be poor but the same team was riding well and winning against teams that now have a lot lower average. A lot of teams seem to be hoping the 2pt riders will be a lot higher or that the heavy top end always perform. I also think we will have a 3 way battle at the top of the team for the number 1 spot with lewis and ryan pushing Josh hard with MPT then hot on their heels. And at the bottom end i think young Josh will be better after his learning last season and again we should always have one of the best reserves in the league alongside him. Biggest factor i can see will be how many riders will be changing over to Gerhard engines and how long it will take to get used to the way they ride. We know the engines are just as competitive as a GM but setups seem to be a dark art times getting everything matched up (especially when we are away from home!) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharpandroid Posted February 10, 2017 Report Share Posted February 10, 2017 I believe the Scorpions will upset ALL the visitors this year. It seems confidence is a major aspect of Speedway and the continuity from last year will help with that. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
