At one time there was talk of the wholesale market at the back of the stadium being relocated. Is that area an option? Can't see that particular site being big enough, especially with Tai saying he would like to get involved if they could find a 20 acre piece of land so it could include Motocross.Wonder if that field in Lawn Lane next to the JLR plant is an option,but if it was, would the Wolves fans be prepared to travel that far out of town.It would be a long walk from the nearest bus stop if you haven't got a car. Oh...and if we have build a new track, model it on the old Dudley Wood circuit,didn't like the team but loved the track.

We have seen the struggles of Cradley to get a new track over decades. Whilst Wolverhampton Council may be sympathetic, I can't think of a site in Wolverhampton which would not raise objections from residents either relating to noise and/or traffic congestion. And they would be in their rights to do so.There are some houses near to Monmore Green, but I think there is a law which says you can't complain about a nuisance if it was already there and you move next to it. I wouldn't think that there are many residents locally who were there in 1928 ! Cradley had no trouble finding potential sites. They just had no support whatsoever from the very anti-sport Dudley Council. That's going to be key for us to keep on track after this year.

Lefty Posted May 7, 2023 Report Share Posted May 7, 2023 Yet again another success story created by the Promotors' "Rule Book of Broken Integrity". We can have the utter farce of only seven teams in the League and each team more than likely to have seven double-uppers put together and called a 'team',. But now because Luke Becker (our only non double upper) broke his leg at the 'wrong time' we have an average reduction for him. I'm so glad 'integrity' is their watchword. When do Wolves chuck the towel in? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevebrum Posted May 7, 2023 Report Share Posted May 7, 2023 Yet some teams can get away with a guest all season long or until the end of the season. Total nonsense. Vatcher, clearly penalising one club and letting others get away with it. Just wrong. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lefty Posted May 7, 2023 Report Share Posted May 7, 2023 Does the ruling now mean that Justin Sedgperson can't ride for us at Belle Vue tomorrow as a guest for Luke Becker? As it's a 12 noon start is there enough time to get a new 'lower average' guest. or does it become rider replacement. If R'R then are the replacements based on Luke's average or the 25% off figure? Add in the current state of Wolves' machinery over this last week and we might be out of the Cup circa 3pm on 'Coronation Bank Holiday Day'. Then Sheffield (H) the week after can be League (A/B or is it 1/2 these days) or even a challenge which would give us a chance to see Bomber or Scotty for a change! It used to be 'moving the goal posts' now its 'moving the white lines'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sedgmen's average is below 5.33 (75% of Becker's) so should be OK. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moaning about the way the guest facilty is consistently applied, rather than running the sport with no need for guest facilities at all... If they spent more time promoting the sport instead of making up ludicrous rules which means lengthy conversations around how to apply them, (with all the subsequent fall out and ridicule around them making the whole thing look pointless), then maybe, just maybe, the sport would be in much ruder health.. And maybe tracks wouldn't close so frequently due to landlords not getting the rent potential that 3000 fans at each meeting could let the clubs pay.. Interesting article in the (excellent again), Speedway Star with the KL co promoter saying that with 7 teams there isnt enough riders.. What nonsense.. The whole of Europe and Scandinavia is opened up with fixed race nights.. The fact those riders might not want to come over definitely isnt down to a lack of rider numbers.. And if 7 man teams means not enough cover for replacements then simply reduce the amount of riders per team which will then create a surplus... No. Let's keep doing the same thing each year and get that fiddle out whilst the place burns around us.. Because that works well doesnt it?
