Only rode because we didn’t want to use a four point guest as the 28 day facility was over .we had a rider lined up as a 28 day temporary cover and we should have signed him . Wright was riding , not racing. Credit him for giving it a go but it wasn’t doing him or the team any good !! Or the loyal paying fans ??? It's the last penny I spend watching this side whilst Rogers is in charge! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GiveusaB Posted May 18, 2023 Report Share Posted May 18, 2023 I recognize that I'm spitting my dummy out...but I just can't justify funding something I don't believe in . If the owner/s have got any business sense, then they'd employ a 'proper' speedway manager before Rogers drives even more fans away. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's amazing how every speedway fan could see the team was naff but the so called expert manager can't! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Blobby Posted May 18, 2023 Report Share Posted May 18, 2023 Very unexpected win given our recent form. However we do need to kick on from here and that level of consistency in our riding has to be a must from now till the end of the season if wanting to make the play offs.

The away win cancels your home loss out just need to make sure you win all your home meetings and collect the aggregate bonus in at least half your fixtures. That should be enough to get you there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually I think last night was first time this season Edinburgh have ridden to their clear potential. When their top 5 click and with Hook clearly improving ride well together they are a match for anyone. As for Brummies, at Plymouth we rode to potential against a team low on confidence for whom little is going right. These type of results happen in all sports. Micro analysis is pointless.

Pinny Posted May 18, 2023 Report Share Posted May 18, 2023 Morris on a ten leaving the rest weak is part of the problem for sure but he should still be good for a near 9 ave by end of season? Nielsen as I said before is a ridiculous signing. Constantly falling off and on the sidelines and not that good when he stays on either. Sedgmen IMO has been a revelation since he took time out of the sport in the Uk and seems to of gone back a totally different rider. I do still think hes a bit inconsistent to rely on and would be a superb third heat leader but he hasnt been the problem. It is really hard to see Brum lasting the season unless their owner is made of money though. Crowds of 200/300 cant be good? What kind of crowds were they getting when they were in the top tier and finished top of the league that one year ? With doyle, king etc? Im sure i read they were below 1000 even then. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Thompson wont solve anything major though, in an ideal world need Morris average to plummet and then bomb out either nielsen for a 7ish pt rider or one of the reserves for a 6ish point rider. Even then would still look weak. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nielsen is going to be even more of a liability when he returns from injury. The team make-up is a shambles! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pinny Posted May 18, 2023 Report Share Posted May 18, 2023 Wright tho is still a 5.5 rider isnt he? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, but we gained .73 when we signed Joe Thompson and we still had .22 in the bank from start of season. If that's how things work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
