89buttons Posted March 27, 2017 Report Share Posted March 27, 2017 (edited) It's a hard call but busk Jacobsen has to be a better option than sarj on the track, a more established rider that could push the top 3 like we would have hoped Kyle would. Sarj rode at 2 all last and while showed a lot of promise and improvement not on the same level currently. Young British lad out of a job yes, but if you're looking to challenge the top end of the table busk Jacobsen the better rider.

Arch Stanton Posted March 27, 2017 Report Share Posted March 27, 2017 (edited) Leave heeps at 4 sarj at 2??Pretty sure that will happen. King and Sarj were a productive partnership last year. It's a big blow let's be honest and it leaves us weaker with all due respect to Sargeant. Newman was set to be a key rider on his average. The goal remains the same though, 4th will do and then fingers crossed Newman returns in time fit for the business end of the season. This is the major downside to our sport. We all know how dangerous it is and injury can strike any rider at any time. Doesn't matter how good your side looks on paper before a wheel is turned, and I believe our side was the best on paper, injury can ruin things very quickly. Not saying this has ruined our season by any means don't get me wrong, but it's a blow. Edited March 27, 2017 by Arch Stanton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arch Stanton Posted March 28, 2017 Report Share Posted March 28, 2017 Really hope James can get off to a good start and find a permanent track somewhereHe may have a permanent place with us as yet until we know what's going on with Newman. If it's the worst case scenario and surgery is needed, it could be a season ender or the biggest chunk of it at least. Just a wait and see.

BluPanther Posted March 28, 2017 Report Share Posted March 28, 2017 He may have a permanent place with us as yet until we know what's going on with Newman.

A rotator cuff injury is a good six months out of action, if not longer. I doubt Newman will ride again this year... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldyman Posted March 28, 2017 Report Share Posted March 28, 2017 And if that's the case, let's hope sarj has plenty of blinders and makes himself the best option long term. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pob Posted March 28, 2017 Report Share Posted March 28, 2017 Witches Facebook page has reported that PA system problems from last sat have been fixed . So are we back to last year's standard or will we see an improvement. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Presenter Posted March 28, 2017 Report Share Posted March 28, 2017 To add a little more detail to the PA system. At last week's meeting we only had one of the three amplifiers working. So there was limited PA in some areas of the stadium which was disappointing, given the size of the opening night crowd. I had also spent time with Richard from Sound 4 ProAudio, during the week helping to install external ariels etc for the new microphone system, which was going to offer more clarity and range. Again, owing to the system failure, the benefit of this new system was negated. After the meeting on Saturday, Chris Louis (in conjunction with Spedeworth) arranged for Richard to conduct a site survery of the system and arrange for a repair to be conducted. The survey was conducted on Monday with Richard returning on Tuesday to undertake the work. It was clear that the amplifiers and associated equipment had not been regularily mantained, which has been a contributory factor in the poor quality of the PA system. Along with a colleague, Richard completed the works required and lead two members of the stadium team to comment that it was the best he had heard in years, whilst another could not believe the difference in quality. All of this through the existing system. However, Richard has reported his findings back to Spedeworth and explained the issues he found and informed them that "the car has passed teh MOT but with numerous advisories!" So, the stadium PA is back up and running, and the longer term goal would be to get the entire system updated and replaced. But let's be grateful that this work has been undertaken, so quickly and professionally in order for our next meeting on Thursday. In regard to the repositioning of speakers on the backstraight (in order to service the "Massif" area for example), this would require a lot more detailed planning and consultation with the SCDC (Suffolk Coastal District Council) who have for a long time had a very detailed operating formular that covers all aspects of activities within the stadium (including the PA), which satisfies all the requirements of noise abaitment etc. So, in a nutshell, that is a summary of what has taken place this week at the stadium and let's collectively hope that the results are as impressive as being reported. Cheers for now 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheScotsman Posted March 28, 2017 Report Share Posted March 28, 2017 Thanks very much for the report Kevin. Much appreciated. Fingers crossed that I'll need my ear protectors for the PA system rather than the damn giant cow bells!! (Only joking!!) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
