It’s been very clear that Keith Chapman is the boss, the final say is his, CJ and Tomalin effectively work for him

The problem we have is our heat leaders are not winning races, that’s where we are missing out, generally guests and RR are just not cutting it and Iversen isn’t performing anywhere near what was expected. That heaps pressure on the middle and bottom order who are struggling to fill the gaps, Basso, Cook and Jenkins are fine they are still learning, it’s Worrall and Andersen who need to step up their performances but at the moment both are generally struggling. After 7 defeats the team’s confidence has deteriorated and the desire just doesn’t appear to be there with several of the more experienced riders.

EL Bustico - 18th May - King's Lynn Stars v Peterborough Panthers
bigcatdiary replied to Flappy's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
Not sure where they were hiding then because the terraces were quiet and the seats stand was about third full, very few on the 3rd/4th bend and back straight, I stood on the first bend and even that wasn’t exactly crowded. -
EL Bustico - 18th May - King's Lynn Stars v Peterborough Panthers
bigcatdiary replied to Flappy's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
The crowd was dreadful I seriously doubt it was any more than 600 to 700 at the most. Lawson aside it was total one way traffic for the first 8 heats, some truly shocking performances. -

It’s certainly my opinion as well, I saw no reason to change it and it was much easier to follow. -

Weather forecast for the next three days in Ipswich isn’t good, that coupled with RR for Panthers should put off most of the travelling support so Ipswich lose out on a potential good crowd. -

Not your daytime job is it Flappy, Weather Forcasting. -

Oh really, perhaps you ought to read the latest Wolves statement.

He will have to get back to his mate on that one

I have little or no knowledge about other tracks attendances dependent on whether they are competitive or not but Peterborough’s are, it’s something I mentioned to Buster when he took over, poor results will affect Peterborough attendances, the football attendances are similarly affected at the Posh.
-
I have said this many many times that all I want to see is a competitive team, no one likes to see their team get buried every week, if promoters are not able or willing to pay to ensure a team is competitive then the simple answer is to run in a league you can afford.

28 day facility for injured/missing riders
bigcatdiary replied to IronScorpion's topic in Speedway News and Discussions
The rules have changed this year. Facilities are granted by the SCB Manager - Neil Vatcher, he determines the length of the facility but my information is it’s going to be limited this year after the furore caused by the Kennett situation at Plymouth last year. The most important change is when clubs are granted No official facility. In the past teams were forced to use a 2 point junior rider. This year teams are able to use a rider whose CMA is 25% less than the rider who is missing. To put this into context Wolves can continue to use Scott Nicholls to cover for Becker as Nicholls current GSA of 5.28 is at least 25% below Becker,s current GSA of 7.11 (7.47 home). Or can use another rider up to an average of 5.33. Thats my understanding of the regulations for 2023.
