TonyE Posted July 10, 2018 Report Share Posted July 10, 2018 (edited) The fact that this is the Hammers sole home meeting in July speaks volumes for the state of modern speedway in UK. The Hammers will be back to tracking our full 1 to 7 and, hopefully, an entertaining meeting will ensue.

Charlieboy Posted July 10, 2018 Report Share Posted July 10, 2018 Expect a big home win.If howarth is fit I hope he's had a spin at Wolves last night and doesn't let us down like last time when he came back too soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cityrebel Posted July 10, 2018 Report Share Posted July 10, 2018 One home meeting in a month, when we are enjoying our best summer since 1976 says it all really. If people won't come when the sun shines, they never will. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hel'n'Back Posted July 10, 2018 Report Share Posted July 10, 2018 The fixtures really need to be changed for next year, cause this year it's rubbish (restraining myself here!) for all teams! Can't believe meetings aren't happening each week across the Championship. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hel'n'Back Posted July 10, 2018 Report Share Posted July 10, 2018 Absolutely, changes need to be made next year, or collapse of Championship Speedway... God knows why we had to change the name to be in line with football, cause I don't understand it and it should be Premier League Speedway in our league...

Charlieboy Posted July 11, 2018 Report Share Posted July 11, 2018 Probably because there are no ELITE riders riding over here ???? Just a thought 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If people won't come when the sun shines, they never will. Absolutely appalling. Our home season finishes on 23 August (it finished on 23 OCTOBER in 2017), whereas Workington's home season only got started on 23 June and they've only had 2 home meetings so far. Perhaps the promoters are thinking that if they just phase it out slowly we'll not notice. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlieboy Posted July 11, 2018 Report Share Posted July 11, 2018 Going to lakeside with 6 riders and fitness doubts over Kyle I think will definitely be too much for our lads unless Broc can get a big score to back up top two ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marko Posted July 12, 2018 Report Share Posted July 12, 2018 There is a weather warning for tomorrow, wouldn't it just be typical after not having a home meeting for two weeks and not having another meeting for two more weeks after tomorrow.

OdsalBoy Posted July 13, 2018 Report Share Posted July 13, 2018 If this meeting runs then i honestly cannot see Sheffield getting much from this (Pains me to say that) but just my thoughts. UTT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psycho3a Posted July 13, 2018 Report Share Posted July 13, 2018 (edited) Anyone know why we running RR for Lasse when there is already doubts over Kyle ? We will be having a 8pt plus rider being replaced by a 5.51 and 5.20 rider on a track where there reserve averages 5.50.. I can only see a massive loss im afraid. With regards fixtures totally agree about the horrific stop start, last season i saw over 25 speedway meetings, This year will struggle to make 10.

Charlieboy Posted July 13, 2018 Report Share Posted July 13, 2018 Depending on kyles fitness I think it could be 58-32 anything more will be a bonus.Lakeside are good home side and our away form has been poor and that's been on our favoured bigger tracks !!! Lack of meetings has been a disaster this season.We should have started the league straight away,two home two away then ran ko cup late on.We have been sacrificed for the premier league once again and they are still using loads of guests and r/r for missing riders.Their league should have been one home one away and they might have encouraged gp riders if they hadn't had the stupid one 8 point rider !!!!!

graz gp Posted July 13, 2018 Report Share Posted July 13, 2018 This should be a big home win. Kyle's first meeting back, Lasse out for 9 days after is crash last week with concussion. Broc never seen the track before. I just hope we can put on a decent showing. 35+ will be a good effort. But maybe the Tigers will surprise me. Utt.

TRM Posted July 13, 2018 Report Share Posted July 13, 2018 My first meeting of the season tonight. Looking forward to this, hope the opposition put up a good fight and there is some good close racing that excites my 7 year old son as much as it did me when I first started going 30 odd years ago! Sun is shining bright 10 miles from the reaceway. Looking forward to seeing how Nick goes around our trick track! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
