Yes I was disappointed to have miss to Dan the Wee Man. He's really flying atm. But it clashed with a family arrangement. I've only managed one meeting this season which was at the Showoffground last Sunday. Our boys got a point but it wasn't great entertainment - there seems to be an embargo on shale deliveries there. Can't even get to Lakeside to see our lads tomoroow night. We are about to move from the area next Friday so I might just might try to get along to see how the new Fox Holes look and give our Bandito cousins a wee cheer. If it stays sunny long enough there might still be enough light to see the riders go round the bends!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't understand either why there is very little shale on the showground track , it definitely spoils the entertainment value when it's bare of shale .Someone told me the last delivery of shale they had was delivered prior to the 4's meeting in 2016 . I honestly don't know how they have got away with it for so long and is cheating the fans at what should be an exciting arena that has the capacity to thrill spectators instead of just gate and go with very little outside overtaking , or is it a new ploy to fool the opposition if it is it certainly backfired against Workington. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting team restructuring required or just go NL. I was thinking that myself Scotsman would you judge a rider on one performance? i actually first saw Brennan on the small track at Swindon and he impressed me.A couple of guys who who i know come on to the forum and both see loads of NL racing and I respect both there opinion's greatly actually felt he was not making that much progress and had to get away from Eastbourne to progress.Looking at the Championship Bacon, Mountain,Hume have the highest averages it just shows you how tough the jump is from NL racing for me out of the two pointers Hume barring injury will go on he has something.I would just give him time Brennan just think if he come in now and went to Berwick,Workington,Edinburgh,Scunny,Glasgow a totally different ball game a totally different level look at Bickley 0 again last night he can't buy a point, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2ndbendbeerhut Posted May 19, 2018 Report Share Posted May 19, 2018 As I've said before... remove the likes of King and Schlein from the CL, and the rest of the heat leaders of other teams and would be fine. Would a team of the following against similiar strength teams be all bad? Heeps Mountain Greaves Hume Jenkins Brennan Kemp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arch Stanton Posted May 20, 2018 Report Share Posted May 20, 2018 Went to Mildy today. I know it’s Drew’s home track but he was on a different planet to Brennan today. After his good showing at Foxhall I was disappointed with Brennan. Failed to win a race. Kemp 20+1 max. The boy was different gravy. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badge Posted May 30, 2018 Report Share Posted May 30, 2018 Crikey, so little happening for us to discuss, we got relegated to page 2 After our very enjoyable 2017 season, this feels like a non season some how.

Siggytastic Posted May 30, 2018 Report Share Posted May 30, 2018 Whoever thought the "less is more" was a good idea needs their head testing. People will get out of the habit of going and how is Hartel meant to improve as at home without track time. Same goes for Cam as He could do with track time against Championship opponents to get His confidence back. This season so far just hasn't got going and needs to very soon.

89buttons Posted May 30, 2018 Report Share Posted May 30, 2018 Have to be riding home and away next year the lack of meetings is really disappointing - we managed to get loads of people through the gate for the big meetings at the end of last season but there’s zero momentum with this season to get them coming back with meetings so few and far between doesn’t help riders or the sport - the regionalised trophies and cup meetings are a joke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dontforgetthefueltapsbruv Posted May 31, 2018 Report Share Posted May 31, 2018 Something that seems to have slipped under the radar is that when we do finally get back on track we will have a different No1 Not because Danny wont be back (hopefully he will be) but because Rory now tops the averages (Good to still have an 'English' No1 mind ) Decisions needed again with the riding order - do we put the original pairs back together with Cam going to 2 and Nico back at 5 or just put Danny at 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheScotsman Posted May 31, 2018 Report Share Posted May 31, 2018 Should go with Rooboy & DK at 1 & 2. Would almost match the unstoppable Cookie & Sedgy partnership that wiped the floor with the old PL. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bash Posted May 31, 2018 Report Share Posted May 31, 2018 The lack of fixtures at the moment is going to come back and bite us IMO. Only 3 fixtures in June is a joke, how is this team going to get some momentum or consistency. With other teams changing their teams for the better I can see us struggling to make the playoffs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldyman Posted May 31, 2018 Report Share Posted May 31, 2018 (edited) You can't put nico and Cam together, that's just a useless disaster waiting to happen. Let's just hope the meeting goes ahead, otherwise it's then another couple of weeks till the next home one.

It's totally baffling why the authorities have cut the fixtures back like they have with so many gaps of 2/3 weeks at a time is got to be wrong . Worst possible scenario is to take away continuity which will only cause people to get out of the habit and not bother , it may not affect the hardcore fans too much but those casual fans will soon forget and those are the people we need to encourage so much that they want to come back week after week. If it was felt that the fixtures were too congested in 2017 then why didn't they just cut back so each team plays each other once and then say 5 B fixtures each .

dontforgetthefueltapsbruv Posted May 31, 2018 Report Share Posted May 31, 2018 From the end of June through September there should be weekly home speedway which should be prime time to attract the casual supporter The fixture list even this year is set up for that so not all bad Just need to get the team fully in gear and could still salvage something from 2018!

Icicle Posted May 31, 2018 Report Share Posted May 31, 2018 Oh Look! It's Thursday, speedway night at Ippo--NOT. Again NO meeting. Why not? Is there a track?? Is there a season?? This is past being silly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
