The last riders we needed to sign was Danish if we wanted to keep to Wednesday nights - sorry most of this is our own making . I would guess that signing Danes is the only way we were going to have a competitive team. The $64,000 question is how many more meetings they miss.

I'm sure it's not as many as people think.Not sure whether it was announced at the speedway the other week or in the program.It's like only one more for Iversen and Andersen,none for Jorgensen unsure on Toft don't think he had signed then.

Its certainly not going to encourage them to attend. That really is the speedway way, though. Criticism is to be ignored at best and to be responded to with abuse at worst. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally think if they had given the line-ups and spin on it a few weeks back the same people would give the same negative comments. Your one way vision doesn't surprise anyone. Had this been an ordinary meeting with a full team, the lineup would have been announced as usually on a Monday. But this was a different situation, with many Stars supporters not knowing the full extent of the rumours about missing riders . They deserved to know the extent of the compromise, who and how many were going to be missing. This is not a big job and could have been completed in only a few minutes by their Twitter account, the Web-site might have taken a few minutes longer. The truth being they couldn't be arsed. I cant imagine one person would agree with their attitude towards the fans . (except you that is) We are not asking for the world , merely to be kept informed. We have the basis of a solid team and the promotions should be promoting their brilliance, instead of wallowing about missing riders.. . We have 4 riders who are going terrifically well and they will provide the foundation of a good season. I still don't think this cup match is lost yet, I just wish the promoters would treat their fans with more respect.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not happy with riders missing,i want a full team every week.But currently GB is bottom of the speedway list and we will have to build our way back up somehow.Incidentally before the season had started just about everyone was for the FRN,now because it's gone pear shaped for a few meetings people are against it. And no i don't have one way vision as you put it.I honestly didn't know the exact timing of their press releases regarding the teams that's why i put an unsure emoji beside it.And in my honest opinion i still feel the same people would have come out with the negative comments had the team been announced two weeks ago for this match. Sorry for having an opinion that doesn't agree with yours.You sometimes seem to have a problem with me when my opinion is different to yours. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Cookie pulled out last minute then no doubt Dale had to find a replacement, no point in putting a PR out naming Cook only to have to retract it with another one a few hours later? We now know the team, let’s just go there, pretend we are Polish fans and make some noise for our team :D There’s real needle in this meeting, something hanging on the aggregate score, something to get the adrenaline flowing 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bald Bloke Posted May 15, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2018 (edited) Lynn .. R/R for NKI. We might get 6 or so for Niels I guess . 4 or 5 of them from Ty and Lambo at best. Might pick up 1 or 2 from his other 2 rides. Not there for HT 15 though.. Auty for MPT .. Micheal's last meeting saw him score an 18 point max at the Showground.. I'd expect a solid 6 - 7. Think Auty might get 3-4 riding in the top 5 if he makes a start. Lions.. Wells for Hans . I'm sure Ricky will give 100%, but i would of had Hans down for 9 -10 from 5...Ricky will probably get 4 rides and score around 6. Again no Hans for HT15. If it is Rory for Kenny (Was mentioned, i ain't looked), the Lions will do ok there imho. Kenny would do about 10 - 11 from 5 i think. If Rory gets 5 i think he will be the meetings top scorer with 13 from 5. He's on fire and will want to put one up Buster. Overall I think the Lions have the better deal.

Absolutely- I and many more are fed up with continully being mugged off with poor excuses. The mess we are in tomorrow night is mainly of our own making sign Danes and race on the same night as Denmark really you couldn’t make it up . 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With all due respect we do know your current speedway circumstances as you post on the forum several times each meeting that you won't be going. FWIW I don't think anybody has to be a current paying punter to have an opinion, and as others have said those who used to go but no longer do so should be listened to particularly closely. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
