Last night the race format made the Cook situation worse for us, Fricke and Kenny B were in 7 of the first 13 races then both in Ht 15 and not beaten , maybe if we had got a replacement in time could have made a big difference, Barker out of sorts , plus Lasse in scoring position twice retiring, Belle Vue have a good side , should have beaten us by a lot more .jimg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was at the gooners last night as well. With football you know it's definitely going to be on. No such luxury with speedway. Napoli at home and Watford away rule me out of the next two showground meetings. Hopefully i can make it on Easter Monday. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite possible, but as a fan i just wanted to see an improvement. We've already matched last seasons points tally with seven games to go. The way Emery has helped unite the fan base has to be a positive thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although its buster so there is probably a brown envelope somewhere. I’m sorry but Craig having CRS ( for example) wrote in white as opposed to yellow or blue would have no effect on how professional the Panthers looked on TV, im not taking sides in this argument, I just can’t believe with the problems facing this sport , a promoter and a top British rider would find the colour of the font on Kevlars this important !! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I agree, I am not a Arsenal fan but I can see Emery has done a great job and playing attractive football. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Scrutton Posted April 4, 2019 Report Share Posted April 4, 2019 Don't think this format will be retained A good try but it (to my mind) is of no interest to most supporters Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone used to clear off or have a beer in the bar after the main match. I never even bothered to fill in my prog for the 2nd half.
