I can and will accept that im an opinionated so and so and that personality clashes can certainly occur. However i do agree that Ben is just a kid acting like a kid in a grown ups world. There are many younger riders who conduct themselves far more professionally off track. That said i am glad he has secured a place at Leicester and builds on the opportunity. 

and that’s why many of the kids don’t last long, they forget to have FUN !

Look what happened to Joe Haines, Kyle Bickley and quite a few others….all very professional and burnt out before they were in the mid 20’s !

Having seen the new fixture list it looks like home matches in May , June and July are as rare as Poole defeats !

Twenty plus days gaps between fixtures ?

Hope they fill these with REGULAR FRIDAY Tigers fixtures or they will lose fans.

Unfortunately the fixture list is just about a copy and paste job.Certainly won’t attract newcomers and probably find a few more losing interest.

Do these clowns actually believe that this is want supporters want?Fixtures are a joke.

The problem is fans don't always attend in numbers to make more fixtures viable, obviously this isn't the case for every fan but maybe the majority?

1) Fans say "we want more matches"

2) Clubs put on a challenge match to start the season

3) fans don't turn up in great numbers, say they want official fixtures only

4) clubs put on NDL matches

5) fans don't turn up, say they want Champions level racing only

6) because Edinburgh, Glasgow, Redcar & Scunthorpe all race on Fridays, to make 2 home & 2 away work, clubs have to ride on an off- race night

7) fans don't turn up, say they want Friday matches only.

Not saying the current situation is great, just that every solution / alternative has flaws.

Your assessment sounds bang on. If the fixture list was 2 home 2 away then fans would pick and choose leaving clubs with a hole in their pockets. The current set up is best of bad bunch but may be most sustainable and that is crucial.

Just been reading that Scunthorpe v Redcar BSN fixture on Good Friday is a double header with Scunthorpe v Middlesbrough Tigers NDL Fixture. 3pm start. Well done both promotions for making it a worthwhile trip 👍

Some (especially June/July) could be blank due to Rain-offs in the BSN & KOC.  But, with only 8 teams to ride against in the CL, what do you expect? Also don't forget 3 others ride on a Friday and they are all in the North and one of them is in the same BSN Group!!
