dontforgetthefueltapsbruv Posted July 30, 2017 Report Share Posted July 30, 2017 It's about the B.S.P.A. grew a pair and order clubs to ride, if you have riders elsewhere, tough. its not like there are many meetings that go ahead without guests or rr anyway. Teams need to just get on with it and stop being awkward The fact that one half of the KOCup doesnt have the 2nd leg of the QUARTER final until Sept 22nd sums it up....

2ndbendbeerhut Posted July 30, 2017 Report Share Posted July 30, 2017 Teams should be racing every week. Eg every Thursday night at Ipswich unless it's against a Thursday night track then on an off night. Other clubs the same 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gazc Posted July 30, 2017 Report Share Posted July 30, 2017 (edited) Our home meetings are that far apart it is now laughable. Our owners have no chance of building momentum on crowd levels with the lack of meetings. If as has been muted teams refusing to come on dates offered simple solution if they refuse 3 dates points awarded, might not do much for the paying public but it would sure as hell put a stop to this practice gathering anymore pace. What happened to the covers we were getting ?. Edited July 30, 2017 by Gazc 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im sure there used to be a 3 dates rule a few years ago. Just shows where the balance of power is in speedway. Just wait until the plays offs! Bewley and Smith are likely to be involved in all 3 leagues making a chaotic calendar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure bruv and other ippo fans will remember what happened a few years ago. We had a free Thursday in August and were very keen to ride, we had Edinburgh waiting in the KO cup, they were free that evening, not much doubling up in those days,but they flatly refused to come and nothing was done about it.Not too sure if I've got my years right, but I think this was the season we ended up riding Newcastle in the final on a Saturday with our smallest crowd of the season due to be fact it snowed around two hours before the meeting.

GS550 Posted July 30, 2017 Report Share Posted July 30, 2017 See another team getting shot of Sedgmen the latest being Rye House , nice to see the Witches showing some loyalty to him he must be feeling pretty down as the Edinburgh mob keep telling us he needs molly coddled to get the best out him. Looks like the Witches are stuck with the underperformer for the duration , on the plus side he will be on a nice average for Scotland's second team next season. Molly coddle? Just give him a Mickey Mouse trick track with a million percent home advantage and he will double his average. Oh right its been done before?

Lioness Posted July 30, 2017 Report Share Posted July 30, 2017 Glad you said that Paul. I'm just back in from a two hour walk in a t shirt and jeans and it was maybe a wee bit overcast but pretty hot and dry. Was shocked to see the speedway was off. A bit of premature stuff going on?

screm Posted July 30, 2017 Report Share Posted July 30, 2017 And not a drop of rain has fallen so far today Wouldn't you just know, I can see clubs up and down the Country running on off nights and/or double headers to try and catch up and complete their league meetings before the cut off.

Gazc Posted July 30, 2017 Report Share Posted July 30, 2017 I'm completely losing interest in Speedway football season next week and my season ticket in place. Think I will be selective in what meetings I go to. As has been pointed out it has been sunny most off the day and warm which makes the early call off very premature. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thought of preferring ITFC over the witches made me chuckle after their 6-1 drubbing by Charlton yesterday!! Glad we ditched our expensive season tickets a couple of years ago!!

TheScotsman Posted July 30, 2017 Report Share Posted July 30, 2017 So were Ippo going to break the news to Segy after the match at Glasgow? By text on his way home maybe? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MD Posted July 30, 2017 Report Share Posted July 30, 2017 Got to disagree about the weather. Went into Glasgow for the day where it chucked it down from 2.45 until 3.05 and again from 4.15 to 4.45. Not pleasant. Three miles along the M74 at Polmadie on the way home, bone dry and sunny. Unfortunately its the way our summer has turned out. I fear we may have been phoning Vatch to get a result declared.....about ht8 if it had gone ahead. The downside is Sedgmen seems to have been replaced.

Something has to be thought up to have us less at the weather's mercy . It's killing our sport more than the BSPA is . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you not raced again in the KOC? I thought with the Berwick QUARTER final having to be run by the 1st April the competition would have been finished almost 4 months down the line.
