Ben91 Posted April 24, 2018 Report Share Posted April 24, 2018 8 hours ago, Chris said: Agree with majority of the post. The old PL league was getting very stale at Rye. There wasn't much motivation to watch poor sides like Scunthorpe, Berwick, Plymouth and Redcar turn up year after year. Also Silver built dreadful sides for many years, so I had no problem with him going. His time was well up. Crowds were down to a few hundred in his final seasons. The problem is Jenson, who is running the show for BMR, has no idea about the sport. Has come in as a complete outsider and looks like he doesn't know what he's doing and has no knowledge of riders etc. Having someone like Schroeck alongside who was away from the sport for years doesn't help. The size of the crowds last year proved the decision to move up was correct, but they will ruin it all this year with such a crap side put out. Lose at home to Wolves on Wednesday and that should be it for some of these riders and will show how badly they got the team building wrong. I think the part about Jenson not being a speedway man is the nail hit on the head. Schroeck too doesn't fill me with confidence as a team manager either. Since the new promotion has come in we have had a lot of 'name' signings as I'd describe it. In the Premier League Lanham was signed on the back of the fact he was a 10 point rider at that level in the early 2000s, Peter Karger signed because his dad is Brian Karger who used to be half decent. Then last season, Harris, Nicholls and Watt, all signed on reputation and the fact that they had done well in the past. There's more than that to singing riders. We were lucky to have KK fall into our lap mid-season and, yes, we did end the season as the form team. But we still didn't make the play-offs. Other teams strengthened over the winter and we made two like-for-like changes. Complacency perhaps, or thinking that other sides wouldn't be looking to put together sides different to what they had last year. A few of us said here and on Facebook that is wasn't enough but were shot down by a vocal majority. Those who think that we should all just be grateful to have Speedway to watch. Having three riders north of 35 years of age was always a worry for me. Harris to me seems like a Glasgow rider who comes to us as his second club to go through the motions and pick up his pay. Perhaps that is down to Glasgow's PR side being better though and me taking it the wrong way. He certainly isn't a top tier heatleader any more though. Nicholls' troubles may well be down to his machinery but that needs nipping in the bud asap. There's a lot of pressure on Robbo. He is one of my favourite all time riders but his average is expensive and the team was built for him to score lots of points from reserve. I've waffled on here, apologies. I have been planning on going tomorrow night having not been able to make it to the called off Leicester meeting, I fear we'll get turned over though by what looks like an average Wolves side at best.

bazlux Posted April 24, 2018 Report Share Posted April 24, 2018 I was in Manchester last evening on a business trip so went along to this meeting and see the NSS. Had a good evening, meal in peter craven lounge, grandstand seat. Early rain drained away and there were some fine races. Only KK any good for rye house. Chatted with a couple of BV fans who were good company. Back home in Poole now looking forward to Thursday with the Pirates. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadders Posted April 25, 2018 Report Share Posted April 25, 2018 My first visit to any Manchester track and now completed a meeting at every speedway track in all three leagues. My impression of the stadium is very favourable. Excellent viewing from the main stand, but £21 is a bit pricy. For an extra £3 you can have a padded seat! Upon arrival we were directed to a car park (£3) near the pits bend which was almost full at 6pm. If this is the only car park then that’s inadequate. My 3 year old son wasn’t keen on the loud engines and had his hands over his ears for the first half of the meeting. One of the stewards must’ve seen this and kindly brought us some ear plugs. A very nice gesture we thought. On the whole a pretty enjoyable experience despite the score. The track looks fantastic and with better opposition should serve up some cracking racing. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coldace Posted April 25, 2018 Report Share Posted April 25, 2018 Glad you enjoyed it. There were some good races, especially for us Aces fans. There is a bigger car park on the south side of the stadium plus another one in an adjoining school, so plenty of car parking. Hope you make it back. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GregoryM Posted April 25, 2018 Report Share Posted April 25, 2018 Just got round to reading the thread after being away since Monday night. Well thank goodness for one Krzysztof Kasprzak. With 7 x Aces 5-1s there were just 8 heats (of course) where the Rockets actually finished ahead of a Belle Vue rider - and KK was involved in 6 of those heats. After heat 7 he was, infact, the only Rocket to finish infront of an Ace for the rest of the match. And yet it was still a match which had its fair share of decent close racing - heat 11 for instance with Fricke, Etheridge & Bomber. And, of course, it had Dan Bewley..........

There are 4 official car parks round the stadium so plenty of parking for normal meetings. South stand standing is available too for £18 and view is even better as you are closer to the track and better atmosphere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hadn’t been before, so we went to the first available car park Needed a seat as we had a toddler with us who was flagging by the end of the night Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
