Barrow Boy 2 172 Posted July 1, 2017 I make it there's only 0.46 left to play with. So not likely you will have a new rider being brought in from outside the Uk. What would Ben Barker's average be? Barker has just been signed by Rye House but it does mean that Kennett becomes available instead Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hamish McRaker 601 Posted July 1, 2017 Barker has just been signed by Rye House but it does mean that Kennett becomes available insteadGordon Kennett would be better than Edward. With what is available now,team changes are more like musical chairs for the sake of it. If Edward Kennett was chopped because he was struggling away from Rye House, why sign him? And as somebody has said, Garrity will probably be fit again before the August fixtures come along. Scaphoids are notoriously tricky though Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Barrow Boy 2 172 Posted July 3, 2017 Now that the admission price for adults for the Swindon TV match has been reduced to £9.99 it would be nice if the management would give all season ticket holders a voucher on entry for either a fee drink or a hot dog to compensate them for their losses.

Happy Hunter 368 Posted July 3, 2017 What a silly price to charge! Why not just a tenner! I would have thought that the least they could do would be to give all season ticket holders a free programme, especially as there have been reports on here about the poor quality of the food on offer at BP.!

Gemini 4,894 Posted July 3, 2017 Perhaps they've got a load of 1p coins they want to get rid of? Shops usually charge £9.99p or £19.99p etc. because it makes us gulible customers think something is cheaper as £9.99 sounds better than £10. Anyway is Leicester still running? Seems ages since there was a match and unfortunately I've got to miss this one as we'll be on holiday. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Along with the food at Peterborough, it's the worst I've ever tasted at speedway. These days I'm on special dietary needs, so can't generally eat what's available at stadiums around the country.

Steve Shovlar 10,439 Posted July 3, 2017 Along with the food at Peterborough, it's the worst I've ever tasted at speedway. These days I'm on special dietary needs, so can't generally eat what's available at stadiums around the country. Food at Peterborough gave me chronic food poisoning. The 'food' at Leicester is diabolical and extortionate. Eat before entering these stadiums! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
speedibee 3,091 Posted July 3, 2017 Now that the admission price for adults for the Swindon TV match has been reduced to £9.99 it would be nice if the management would give all season ticket holders a voucher on entry for either a fee drink or a hot dog to compensate them for their losses. the new management lost at least 1 regular this season ,by failing to honour the Kings lynn rain off , saved themselves £17 ,and cost themselves a season ticket , clever !! What a silly price to charge! Why not just a tenner! I would have thought that the least they could do would be to give all season ticket holders a free programme, especially as there have been reports on here about the poor quality of the food on offer at BP.! if BT are covering the cost , it should be free , get loads in and , Just maybe some will come back and pay Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

speedibee 3,091 Posted July 4, 2017 It is my understanding, BT are not covering any of the cost !!! more than likely Gospeed have been paid , the sky money used to be paid at the beginning of the season , Gospeed took their share and the 50p they didn't take got shared between the clubs Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TMW 533 Posted July 6, 2017 I must admit. I've not looked at the fixtures closely but, with a couple of quite dry spells, at some point they will be back to back. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hamish McRaker 601 Posted July 7, 2017 The new averages will give Leicester just over 1 point extra for rider changes. So a 7-pointer for Garrity is possible. Or a 6.14 -pointer for Bjerre. But who could be available? Especially with all the Saturday home fixtures in August. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
