Why?  Because you love to have a dig, cos you dislike the club so much, cos you want the club to finish, cos you think you can do a better job than the current management, cos you have nothing better to do, what is it?

It's funny Trees,but we hadn't heard Haza for while until there is something a little bit negative to be heard about the club.Now we can't get rid of him:shock:

Call it bleating moaning being negative and to the other extreme those who wear blinkers and see no wrong call whatever you want but everyone has a right to an opinion including the ones that have walked away - and yes I’m so hopeful of things improving to a point I want to attend again but so far I chose to keep my hard earned cash in my pocket- how can anyone defend a 7team league and struggle to fit fixtures in to a point that we have to run double headers against the same bloody team on the same night how can any one defend that ? To me that total miss management weeks with no racing in the best summer weather for years and now it’s come to this . 

Were truer, more accurate words ever written? I think not.

Just being realistic that’s all, they have said that fans can come into the 2nd meeting alone and that they are hoping to finish the first by 2015, they have put some thought into this offer clearly.

I may be totally wrong, hope I am in some ways, but I just cannot see them giving money back when they need all they can get on such a massive night, it’s not as though we have NorwichCityesque crowds every week (if only).

You reckon they have clearly put some thought into this offer. What a pity they didn't put just a tiny bit of thought into running the season!   :nono:   :sad:

They won’t do that, if the first one doesn’t go well then everyone will want to leave and they will end up with no money to pay the costs for the 2nd meeting .......

There you have it folks, Trees agrees with the club in robbing their customers.

R/R for NKI Wednesday.Would have preferred a guest but with only having Belle Vue to choose from choices were very limited.In actual fact really only Bewley would have done a decent job.Time for the others now to step up and take charge.

Now awaiting more negativity to emerge:rolleyes:

Wolves look as though they may also be missing Schlein and Greaves so unless they adopt a similar attitude to KL and don't use a BV guest

Massive risk going with R/R across thirty heats. Can’t afford any bad fortune!

This is very true.But with a very limited choice of guests i can understand why they have done it.

Apparently our management have employed a rider as back up for the second meeting if anyone does get hurt, taking it very seriously as we expect. Planning for all eventualities!! 

Come on Our Stars!!

Depends if he's studied the fixtures, stadium availability and riders' commitments of all teams to see what weeks we could've had a meeting before posting??

It's not robbing customers, they are charging the fans HALF PRICE for the 2nd meeting so business acumen says they will need every penny of that money to pay the costs, some of the costs! 

The offer is attend the double header starting at 7 or attend one meeting starting at about 2030...

Cant think of any positives to say about the whole exercise.  You would have thought we would have learnt from last year.    We have had the whole season to sort out our fixtures,  but we wait until the time is running out when the only option left is these wretched DH's .    If we have to run these why wait till the season's conclusion, and then why race against the same team twice.  We could have run a DH  in the summer months  when there were plenty of vacant dates 

When doing DH's the last thing you want is  holdups,  and R/R create more hold-ups than anything.  To start the meeting with both clubs using RR is unbelievable.   The wasted time, waiting for a rider with two on the trot,  will be a massive factor.       I find it interesting  that both teams didn't agree to forego  the RR and opted to use the number 8's in the team proper.   Both teams are weakened so it would be the same for both sets of supporters.    Least that way would free up the riders from doing 2 on the trot, allowing the meeting a chance to run smoothly.  

Its never going to be a match to remember. The best we can hope for is,  both meetings are completed in the time allowed, nobody getting injured,   enough fans turning up to make it viable,    and 6 pts to add to our  points total.    ( I believe Wolves deserve a share as well,  even if its only 2)   This is a stupid scenario that does nothing for the sport.     There can be no winners,   all we are doing is bowing to the  rules, created  by representative of another league.....

So who would fit and be available for Schlien?

if both teams use r/r might be advisable to take sleeping bags:P (that's not being negative simply realistic)

Now call me cynical but I'd be more reassured if the rider had been named:rolleyes: can think of no good reason not to name him
