TTT Posted May 16, 2022 Report Share Posted May 16, 2022 Good watch tonight I thought. As for Sam Ermolenko I'm actually a fan, Professionalism is overrated imo, Sam provides entertainment with his errors / mistakes and I'd rather have someone keeping the show entertaining off the track while the riders provide entertainment on the track. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlieboy Posted May 16, 2022 Report Share Posted May 16, 2022 Good away win against a team who beat a full strength Belle Vue last time out Well done Tigers and we had to come from 8 points down 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arch Stanton Posted May 16, 2022 Report Share Posted May 16, 2022 We have a glaring problem in the 1-5 and it’s there for all to see. Heeps was rightly replaced, but we then had over 7 points to play with being over 2 under to start with, and we came up with Ben Barker. Very unimaginative from the promotion and pretty lazy. Nothing against Barker, he is what he is and he’ll chip in with a few now and again like he did with a valuable 6 at Wolves. But with over 7 points available we need to be taking a punt on unearthing something a bit better. We’ve only had our proper 1-7 available for two meetings and we’ve won them both. Starke is a big rider for us and so useful down at reserve and this is where the problem will crop up in the future. We needed to find a stronger rider with the points available to keep him down there because as we saw last season, when Starke moved in to the 1-5 his form dropped off a cliff. We’re going to see Barker and Starke swapping places all season when we really should have built the team in a way as to make sure Starke stays where he is. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dontforgetthefueltapsbruv Posted May 16, 2022 Report Share Posted May 16, 2022 Threw that away with everyone bar Doyle dropping silly points from scoring positions Can't afford to do that against anyone let alone a solid Sheffield side Pretty poor fayre overall although probably above average for Foxhall given the current prep Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scoobydoo Posted May 16, 2022 Report Share Posted May 16, 2022 Doyle did the witches no favours with his non existent team riding , Harris team rode with Ellis and hes not even a Sheffield rider 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trees Posted May 16, 2022 Report Share Posted May 16, 2022 The promoters need to make televised matches cheaper, particularly now, maybe they ought to survey their crowd on a non TV night to see what would persuade fans to turn out!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bald Bloke Posted May 16, 2022 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2022 (edited) Get rid of Sam. Don't pan to the 500 crowd and say it's a good crowd. Don't show them. FFS Edited May 16, 2022 by Bald Bloke 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Col Posted May 16, 2022 Report Share Posted May 16, 2022 A more interesting & enjoyable meeting than I'd expect from Foxhall. Sheffield put the point the Aces nicked from their visit into perspective. Foxhall was always going to be the one track Musielak would struggle on this year. King seems to be trying to hard, Batchelor looks spent, why was he in heat 15? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They also need to make them less tedious. Waiting while adverts and interviews play out at home is so so boring in the stadium. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Col Posted May 16, 2022 Report Share Posted May 16, 2022 Just now, norbold said: Exactly. I said as soon as it was announced, "So Ipswich don't want to win then." Well watching it on catch-up and skimming all but the races I wasn't sure which riders were who Riss & Barker and the camera operators don't help, but Witches needed a 5-1 - King hadn't had a good night but was only option to partner Doyle. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keepturningleft Posted May 16, 2022 Report Share Posted May 16, 2022 Sadly Sam will be in danger of being remembered as the worst ever speedway broadcaster in all of human history rather than the top rider he was. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course they should do... As they should have done for a long, long time.. Two hours of free advertising for the sport so maybe they should at least try and make it look popular..? Restaurants put you in the window tables early in the evening for a reason and that is to make their establishment look "popular".... As they know that people are "sheep like" and easily led and influenced... Speedway showcases itself with rows and rows and rows of empty seats.. A bit of a waste of a two hours advert I would suggest... Edited May 17, 2022 by mikebv 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
