Which shows who is committed to racing UK and who isn't. So if I was glasgow I would tell vissing to close door on way out and DONT COME BACK. As someone pointed out earlier he's done it before. Time for clubs to show him the door and never sign him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Blobby Posted August 5, 2018 Report Share Posted August 5, 2018 Glasgow are stronger without Vissing at Newcastle. A case of stay where you are probably. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeW Posted August 5, 2018 Report Share Posted August 5, 2018 Just sums up what is crap about speedway these days. Four weeks without a meeting and Aarnio & Kus absent because they are abroad. I despair. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
screm Posted August 5, 2018 Report Share Posted August 5, 2018 Tero Aarnio has finished second in today's Finnish Final, the meeting was won by Timo Lahti. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The second day for any rain offs are in the rules so on the face of things all is above board, but the meeting wasn't rained off so IMO there is no reason why Vissing couldn't make it to Newcastle tonight, but like has already been posted Vissing has form and did the same thing to Berwick last season, thankfully Berwick had the good sense to get rid of him very soon after.

Would never have missed a meeting back in the day, I’ve been to one meeting this season and didn’t enjoy it. Same teams, same riders week in week out. With fewer teams than ever before and a complete lack of riders I can’t see speedway continuing as a professional sport in this country much longer. Sad, but it’s been coming for a long time. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've not had a meeting for weeks! It could be worse, you could be a Workington fan - great team and only 2 home league matches so far this season. The problem isn't the same riders and teams week in week out but no teams/riders week in, week out. If your gonna moan at least moan about the right thing 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Stewart Posted August 5, 2018 Report Share Posted August 5, 2018 Looking at the team Newcastle put out, the performances of some of those who did ride, and the length of time taken to run the meeting, you have to seriously worry about what the attendance will be for next Sunday when Workington are the visitors.

Aarnio & Kus were outwith the control of Newcastle , from that respect what do you expect them to do ?. As for crowd levels its not just Newcastle they are in decline all over so why single them out, or has something else upset you. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not saying that anything was Newcastle's fault, nor that there isn't decline elsewhere. I am simply expressing concern for a club I like.

Glasgow away win will be a worry for Monarchs play off chances if Worky manage to win matches in hand,although Monarchs are still well in the race and with Team changes are looking strong.

Have to agree the Monarchs are looking stronger , better with the points in the bag though , as i say i still think we need another away win which is a big ask. Assuming we win our remaining home matches which is not guaranteed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
