Just no good ripping off fans each week fielding substandard rubbish. And then complaining when the fans dont turn up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd have to disagree with the first part, if the fans know the team, then it's their choice to attend or not, they ain't getting ripped off, as if they don't think it's value for money can simply choose not to go. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See if they can pick up a couple of unpolished future gems from Aussie or USA I say ideally these two countries as you can't rely on poles and Swedes and Danes would cost fortunes in air fees. Need to accept until more financing comes in they operate in bottom third of championship but equally need to try and win majority of home meetings or have young riders where the punters can see genuine improvement coming through over next 2-3 years. Unfortunately when it comes to the last part, these young riders may choose to go elsewhere (Zach Cook, Dan Thompson). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no incentive for them to race in the development leagues only, as there's so few fixtures, seems a lot of work to run a stadium for only 4 or 5 home fixtures. I'd suggest the correct league is the one in which the promoters can make the most / lose the least money in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not bored with constantly winning but must say watched matches at Wimborne Road and it has been not all but some with not much passing so surely if you are seeing something which I assume that you are alluding to home meetings being gate and go why dont the visiting team riders set up their bikes to counteract this if you see it why don't they ? but I suppose I would ask who tells the track curator what surface to prepare ie in cricket green top etc 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
