Maybe,,, but we are basically in the final of the cup,,, isn't it worth a change to see if we can win that? Try and get a rider that could score at Belle Vue for example Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Triple.H.

With a venue like Foxhall, if it Speedway stops it will not come back, not in this day and age notwithstanding the Spedeworth fixtures currently planned, Spedeworth would simply pick up the slack in available dates/weekly meetings permitted by the local council. Plenty who live near to the track would like to see it closed and one or two presenters on BBC Radio Suffolk have been lees than enthusiastic about the Witches and banger racing. Most on here realise change is needed but those with the ability to instigate this are unlikely to rock the boat and try something different. It starts with affordability and stop the nonsense of riders demands. It can not afford most of those who grace the tracks but no one has the balls to say enough is enough, the business model is flawed, the participants think they are owed a living from the sport and the club owners treat the fans with such disdain, is it any wonder the sport is on its knees. No one involved has the balls to do the right thing except one club, who now plough their own furrow. Hopefully a few more will follow and the likes of Vatcher and many other cronies will be out of a job. Maybe if the local radio have presenters who are less than enthusiastic about bangers and speedway, then a few of you need to contact the station director to remind them about impartiality. Any dislike or disagreement with the sports shouldnt be publicised on air. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
szkocjasid Posted July 13, 2023 Report Share Posted July 13, 2023 (edited) On 7/12/2023 at 7:18 PM, TTT said: Problem is any rider who turns out to be good would then get a proper GSA before 2024 rather than an assessed GSA which would be a disadvantage to Ipswich when it comes to team building. May as well try out some new faces next year on assessed averages rather than giving jobs to the same old faces. Sign someone when there are 5 league meetings left so they don't get a new average? Transfer cut-off date permitting. Edited July 13, 2023 by szkocjasid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MP78 Posted July 14, 2023 Report Share Posted July 14, 2023 When are the next averages out that would change Riss' existing average? Anyone know how much it is likely to drop? If a change is going to be made, can't help feeling it needs to be fairly pronto to take advantage of what he is on now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevin bass Posted July 15, 2023 Report Share Posted July 15, 2023 I'm sure Riss rolling average was below 6 up to June 13th and will only drop more by end of the month the way he's riding currently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that’s true that’s one piece of good news To make Doyle and Emil work in the same team you will need to find at least a couple of ringers on false averages to compensate. Although it may be good to watch, it’ll never win you anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doyle Emil Lidsey Brennan Rew Hume Kemp Might be wrong but think that fits and although never going to happen shows with the right riders that a strong top 2 works could have had Sedgeman on 4.44 as well lol Edited July 15, 2023 by Gavan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riss can ride the small tracks as several successful years riding for Edinburgh and Redcar have shown. He was also almost unbeatable around Newcastle. It's not the track that's the problem it's his illness and the fact he hasn't got back to where he was. His Redcar scores have been way down on what would normally be expected from him. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
