IronScorpion Posted September 7, 2017 Report Share Posted September 7, 2017 (edited) Crowds have been down this season, probably due to the amount of losses & not through lack of entertainment. Rob is interested in bringing TJ back & riders that can ride our track. Mentioning if not enough support for the Friday KOC meeting, was just an indication of possible change of race night. Douglas started the season on GTR's & struggled(not helped either by getting injured during the winter in Australia. His improvement is down to back on a GM & more confidence. Meetings at 5.30 probably helped for away supporters but not track prep as track conditions change too much over the 90-120 minutes. Not good seeing away riders ride our track better than ours(the widest racing line) but having 2 riders(Kerr & Douglas) having numerous injuries this last two years. True. Hope so.

Guest Scunny2012 Posted September 7, 2017 Report Share Posted September 7, 2017 Unfortunately don't think there will be much of a crowd on Sunday with Sheffield running a double header same day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharpandroid Posted September 7, 2017 Report Share Posted September 7, 2017 Strange how people would want to watch twice as much follow the leader. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moranboys Posted September 7, 2017 Report Share Posted September 7, 2017 strange.there was a fair bit of follow the leader in your double header on b.h.m.which isn't usually the norm.there has also been some terrific racing at owlerton this season too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharpandroid Posted September 8, 2017 Report Share Posted September 8, 2017 Yes it was like that b.h.m, early starts never produce good racing at ewr. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes the first meeting against Newcastle was probably the worst I've seen for a while in terms of racing. Glad to hear Sheffield are seeing some good racing, I 've seen some dull racing there in the past. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonga Posted September 8, 2017 Report Share Posted September 8, 2017 I've stoped going to Scunny as Sunday doesn't fit with me after mid June, track looks like a qwogmire most of the time and Rob screaming on the Mike trying to influence a refs decision really spoils it. Bring Friday nights back and myself and two or three mates will go most weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigcatdiary Posted September 8, 2017 Report Share Posted September 8, 2017 (edited) Yes it was like that b.h.m, early starts never produce good racing at ewr. depends on the track preparation surely Edited September 8, 2017 by bigcatdiary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharpandroid Posted September 9, 2017 Report Share Posted September 9, 2017 I think the weather and temperature earlier in the day caused the track problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharpandroid Posted September 13, 2017 Report Share Posted September 13, 2017 (edited) Who do we want for 2018? I'm not a statistician but surely these will be on the radar. Allen, TJ, Lyager, Nielsen, Walner, Kerr, MPT, Aarnio, Bates, tail end charlie. Edited September 13, 2017 by sharpandroid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IronScorpion Posted September 13, 2017 Report Share Posted September 13, 2017 If you want Friday racing back, as quite a few posters prefer, then no excuses for non attendance on the 22nd even if too many losses have reduced the attendance this last few weeks. Show your support for the team & Friday night racing by being there. NO SUPPORT - NO FRIDAY NIGHT RACING Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
