Paulco Posted May 29, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2017 (edited) We are at Newcastle on the Sunday Ok i'll rephrase , another weekend without a home fixture and no revenue a home fixture brings Sorry I should have read the previous page to the end first lol Edited May 29, 2017 by Paulco 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeilWatson Posted May 29, 2017 Report Share Posted May 29, 2017 Hopefully we can get PB to re-arrange for Sat 17 June when we have a blank fixture. Which would mean r/r for Bewley where we cant cover his scoring and also puts pressure on Perry to do 7 rides. However we could move to the Sunday to make this fixture happen and prevent another blank weekend. Peterborough have a home fixture v Sheffield on 18th June Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GS550 Posted May 29, 2017 Report Share Posted May 29, 2017 Is your eyesight failing and the reason you missed edmon's post immediately above? The first part - probably true but not a factor. I saw it alright and duly assessed it as being irrelevant, taking far greater cognisance of the passage I did quote. That's why I quoted it And yes it is farcical.

edmon Posted May 29, 2017 Report Share Posted May 29, 2017 And yes it is farcical. Please explain in detail how it is farcical especially as all promoters can comment and make changes to suit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeilWatson Posted May 29, 2017 Report Share Posted May 29, 2017 And yes it is farcical. An extremely experienced promoter, who understands all the complexities of the process, is prepared to draw up a draft list for consultation and amendment. What can possibly be farcical about that? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lioness Posted May 29, 2017 Report Share Posted May 29, 2017 Its impossible to know if we break even, only the owners will know that. However as business people im surprised we havent taken action regarding our poor fixture allocation. Whilst Glasgow could have (and should have imo) challenged poor fixture allocation in the past when they were the longest serving Sunday track and as such due priority, they haven't a leg to stand on now. When they took the choice to move to Saturday they became the newest Saturday track and as such are now rightly at the bottom of the pecking order. That's one of the decisions the promotion took moving to Saturday 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's one of the decisions the promotion took moving to Saturday Im not sure what the change of race night has to do with things unless its another one of speedway's legacy rules. Having 4 blank Saturdays in the opening 10 weeks of the season is bad for business and we should be able to challenge it although why it seems we havent is disappointing.

MD Posted May 29, 2017 Report Share Posted May 29, 2017 There's an order for each race night, you are bottom of Saturday meaning that Worky and Berwick get to go to Glasgow on a Sunday in most cases I get that but it still means we get speedway those weekends for the visit or Berwick and Worky. The point im making is that we should have challenged the original list which only had us running on 6 of the 10 weekends from the start of the season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone Posted May 29, 2017 Report Share Posted May 29, 2017 (edited) I get that but it still means we get speedway those weekends for the visit or Berwick and Worky. The point im making is that we should have challenged the original list which only had us running on 6 of the 10 weekends from the start of the season. Have you evidence that the initial draft fixture list only allocated home fixtures on 6 of the 10 weekends from the start of the season? In reality, Glasgow have actually had 7 weekend fixtures from the start of the season, (5 in April, including 1 postponed, 2 in May) As has been previously stated, the draft list is subject to consultation and amendment. As the consultation and amendment would also involve the visiting teams, could it be that either the home side and/or the visitors have vetoed proposed dates for specific reasons that are not in the public domain? IMO the problem of clubs agreeing suitable dates has been exacerbated by rider priority with regards to doubling up, FIM & Overseas commitments etc. As an example, Glasgow have a blank date on Saturday 17th June, but as BV are at Leicester that night, would the Tigers be prepared to track two guests in place of Bewley & Smith?. Even when dates have been agreed, original team lineups can be disrupted by other events (FIM/Overseas Domestic League) where participating riders are confirmed afterwards. There are also the short notice withdrawals for injury, illness, funerals, etc., which in the case of Edinburgh, has resulted in Berwick & Glasgow being the only visitors tracking their full sides, so far.

GS550 Posted May 30, 2017 Report Share Posted May 30, 2017 An extremely experienced promoter - i.e. a promoter with vested interest He shouldn't be involved at all - totally farcical Doesn't take Einstein to work out that it is patently obvious that no-one (at all) with a vested interest should be involved, it is a conflict of interest and so called "strict liability".

Baldyman Posted May 30, 2017 Report Share Posted May 30, 2017 Strip it and sell it part by part excluding guards and covers. There isn't any frame and engine numbers. Or buy new guards and covers and sell it whole Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
