dontforgetthefueltapsbruv Posted March 26, 2017 Report Share Posted March 26, 2017 Could someone who gets a programme confirm the official new track length - website still has old 285m in details. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spin king Posted March 26, 2017 Report Share Posted March 26, 2017 Well Done the Witches, think we were beaten by the better side on the night. Looking at the updates our inability to get our of the gate let us down, and on some of the few occasions we did manage it the race was stopped. Not overly concerned about the result as Ipswich way would have been one of the toughest meetings for us, and we will get better and stronger as the season progresses. We should put a line under this result and move on to the next fixture. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We should put a line under this result and move on to the next fixture. Races were only stopped correctly for big jump starts and to your advantage with covatti falling in tac race as it turned from a 6-3 to an 8-1!! Lasse should have been pulled back twice more as well for jumping!! In fairness Todd Kurtz has never gone particularly well at Foxhall, and josh g looked to be struggling to find the speed to really challenge our top boys! Both of them will have much better days and will make you still one of the teams to beat! Edited March 26, 2017 by 89buttons Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pob Posted March 26, 2017 Report Share Posted March 26, 2017 Looked really classy. If he gets the luck he deserves and an injury free season he could push Danny for the No1 spot...Equalled the TR Danny set last year of 55.8 in heat 11 . Mind you does that still stand from last year after the track alterations in the close season? Does that make Rory the new TR holder . 7.17 average I know it's only 1 meeting but think he's gonna add 1.25 -1.5 on that this season. Another who I've already said on the BSF MASSIF FB page will make a mockery of their average is Hume . 2.00 starting average the lad looked good last night and is only going to improve as the season progresses.

Siggytastic Posted March 26, 2017 Report Share Posted March 26, 2017 Great to see some speedway again but who forgot to open the Bell Lane gate before the meeting (open at the end) snd they ran out of programmes so if anyone has one they were going to throw in recycle bin?

Arch Stanton Posted March 26, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2017 (edited) Think there was a few factors why it was such a healthy crowd. First meeting after a 5 month winter break, a strong looking team built over the winter and an attractive opening fixture against another team tipped for honours, and mostly I'd say Saturday night Speedway. Saturdays will always be better attended than a weekday. Edited March 26, 2017 by Arch Stanton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheScotsman Posted March 26, 2017 Report Share Posted March 26, 2017 Not as though the stadium werent aware of the issue and didn't have the time to fix it! As for missing stuff.... you missed the pa working... you missed the raffle winning numbers... and you missed out on wagon wheels! Cam's pass in heat 10 was great. Echoed by Nico afterwards. New bits of track are soft and wavey .. needs time to settle Sorry about the wagon wheels - all Sainsbury's fault! Must find a more reliable supplier. Rocky's are not an acceptable alternative! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Halifaxtiger Posted March 26, 2017 Report Share Posted March 26, 2017 (edited) They may come back bruv, but not being able to hear anything might not help that cause. Kevin must wonder why he bothers sometimes Some chap started on him when he came round to the back straight, Kevin's (very appropriate) response being that he was the presenter not the track electrician. None of the new lads disgraced themselves and on that showing Hume could be a huge bonus. King was untouchable and its going to take a very good ride to beat him at Foxhall. Not quite as cold as I thought it would be, and always good to see the Tractor Boy and laugh my head off.

Brian Posted March 26, 2017 Report Share Posted March 26, 2017 Well by the end I was damned cold if you lot weren't. Ipswich were good, add in Newman and I can't see anybody getting close to them at home. Away from Foxhall remains to be seen but expect them to win a few on the road. Hume was the star man last night. If he can maintain that level he'll make a mockery of that average. With only 4 heat wins, Sheffield were poor. I expected more from them even though it's a first meeting. Very good crowd in, makes a lot of difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AntiqueSteve Posted March 26, 2017 Report Share Posted March 26, 2017 Really good start to the Season, thought the team looked great, although double points made it look alot closer than it was. Was it just me or did Aunty Babs miss two blatant roller's from Lasse ?? we were sitting by the start gate and it looked like he was half way up the track before the others had let their clutches out ! Great work by the "Massif" ...lovin the siren thingy and the cow bells, nice work peeps 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2ndbendbeerhut Posted March 26, 2017 Report Share Posted March 26, 2017 Rumour has it that the siren could be heard better than the PA.... Not to everyone's liking... couple of people moved because of the noise! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
