This is not a vendetta against him but it's time to realise that speedway is about improvement that's what wins matches at any level and that is what Newcastle are low down in the league HI . how can the leagues improve when the doosh bogs that ru(i)n the sport cant get to grips with their own rules ? heres one .. you can build a team to a max of 38 points and later down the line you can rebuild it again to 40 points average . these clampets who run this sport need to take a long hard look at it . some of the things they come up with are laughable . 1 man in charge of 2/3 teams and poor drew left out . hope he gets fixed up and puts two fingers up to sheffield . it wasnt that at the start of the season when they were drooling about mr kemp . no rider should be allowed in the championship with an average over 8.00 . unless you are called Scott nicholls . and the othe two blokes . .. please DONT reply to my post as at this moment in time , i C.B.A. ..

This is not a vendetta against him but it's time to realise that speedway is about improvement that's what wins matches at any level and that is what Newcastle are low down in the league Whilst i agree with the sentiment of the post in all fairness to Danny his average of 7.64 would see him as 2nd or 3rd heat leader in every NL team except the one he is currently in (yes his average has been boosted by riding as a second string). In the Champs most sides would be delighted with a reserve who has doubled their home average although true averages are the GSA's and not with bonuses included so its safe to say that most riders wouldn't / haven't had the chance to stay in a team long enough to creep up to 3.05 at home and a whopping 1.20 away (the only riders to record worse are Luke Chessell who tried to return after serious injury and Tom Woolley who was signed as a sacrificial lamb and half way into the season). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IronScorpion Posted September 4, 2019 Report Share Posted September 4, 2019 Yet again, if a team is more successful than others, they will be trying to cram all their fixtures in in a short period, similar to Workington last year, & all at a time when then weather is turning for the worst & a bit cooler. I thought this year cup competitions took priority over league fixtures to get them finished by a certain date so all competitions are not at the end of the season.

I thought this year cup competitions took priority over league fixtures to get them finished by a certain date so all competitions are not at the end of the season. TBH I'd much rather have all the finals at the end of the season - apart from the Shield - rather like they do in footy (League Cup Final March-ish, FA & Euro Cups right at the end) as it should make for an exiting end to the season. Having said that, all the gaps (racing every fortnight) up until July wasn't the brightest idea in my opinion. I blame the fixture compilers 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it is cancelled due to weather it might not make the cut off for the end of the season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok,,, am not sure about what sort of money goes about, but wasn't sure if we could get away with 1 stadium rental, (which I believe isn't clarty rags). A suppose there is reduced income from sponsorship etc. ,,, but aren't promotions always running at a loss ?
