They asked for a reduction but it was refused Rightly so, I’m glad to hear it. Check his Polish average, if anything he needs an increase.

Charlieboy Posted November 22, 2019 Report Share Posted November 22, 2019 Hopefully he will get the increase in the first month by winning plenty of races for us 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not when compared to Doyle. Doyle is 8.96 here and 9.12 in Poland. Nicki is 8.13 in Poland and by Doyle’s ratio should be 7.99 here, not 8.61. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fairness for ALL riders and ALL teams. They continue to use it to suit so unless that changes I see no issue why Tai needs to be re-assessed if he wanted to come back, however you can be sure that the majority would vote against Wolves getting an advantage if he wanted to come back. Imagine the uproar If he was announced as our next signing. The forum would go into meltdown! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sommelier Posted November 22, 2019 Report Share Posted November 22, 2019 Nicki is box office end of, arguably the most professional for many a year, not the most naturally gifted, but worked very hard to have achieved 3 World titles. Upmost respect for the guy 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still box office though.. Especially for the rest of the League... Each team is pretty much guaranteed their biggest crowd of the season the first time Sheffield visit... The Aces must be truly rubbing their hands, the 'War of the Roses' back, Sheffield fans first visit to see their team ride there, AND Nicki P to boot... ? Kerching...!! Hopefully the novelty factor will delIver a long term feel good factor too for the Tigers too so crowds remain somewhere around the levels of the early meetings..

Stoke Potter Posted November 22, 2019 Report Share Posted November 22, 2019 I recall some years ago that it was stated in the Speedway Star that NP was the only rider that would draw in extra fans on the gate, having a much greater effect than Woffinden who, it was said, would make little difference. Well done Sheffield! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think most fans would want to see Nicki round the Showground but a better team would also improve crowd figures as you say on a regular basis.

Of course they would. He is proper box office material and most want the best British rider back racing in the UK. Plus it’s not rocket science, the more top riders in the top flight the bigger the crowds. Nicki will add to most turnstiles next year, that’s a great thing. Ditto Zmarzlik, Emil. Woffy would certainly add more thru the turnstiles, probably more than a rider past his best. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crabba59 Posted November 23, 2019 Report Share Posted November 23, 2019 You ask Cvs when woffy come back the other year he didn't put that much more on the gate than you think and that is fact.... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
