I recently became Pits Marshal at Brough and wouldn't be able to make notes during the meeting properly and once we've tidied the pits up it's often after 7pm when I get home, meaning, even if I made notes, it would be a rush to meet The Journal deadline and that's when mistakes are made and I wouldn't want that. “Can you do this job for nothing please ?

I'm sure Steve would step aside if someone can do a better job PLEASE step forward & speak to the promotion of you can do a better job Really? So when have this management or promotion been considered top dogs then considering we have only won a few matches in a season and a half? It always makes me laugh this attitude that for some reason anyone involved in speedway is doing supporters a favour; unlike any other sport. Supporters are entitled to their own opinions, it’s what makes sport so great. Let’s not forget that speedway is no different and anyone is entitled to have their views on teams, riders or how the team is set up. Yes the promotion don’t make money and some work on a voluntary basis to help the club and good on them for doing that but let’s not forget that is their own choice to do so. If you are involved in sport at any level you will get people questioning decisions ect. Even as a junior football coach at under 7s you get questions and challenged by parents on line ups and tactics. So why should speedway be any different? The RR one for today is certainly a strange one but at the end of the day it is the managers call. Edited June 12, 2022 by Viper 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His pre match team talk is just simply " Go out & enjoy yourselves" No motivation whatsoever. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The competition in NZ is not great once you get beyond BWD. Andrew Aldridge who tried NL then went home Bradley Andrews the same result Ryan Terry Daley another of the same standard. I hope he makes it but I have serious doubts My opinion of the young Kiwi was about on the money. But to take him out at this stage & replace him with Jack Smith who has proved time & again that the Championship is beyond him. I think if that was my option I'd stick with Congreve, at least you still have hope that he can improve. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I disagree with that comment, Jack Smith has proved he can average 3.00 in the Championship, not the HL Newcastle need, but shouod be able to score a few points. Jack Smith's aves 2021 1.80 (Glasgow & Plymouth) 2019 3.11 (Redcar) 2018 3.14 (Sheffield) 2017 2.57 (Glasgow) Compared to Congreave 2022 0.67 (Newcastle) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
