StevePark 2,780 Posted September 30, 2017 Probably need him more in the KO cup against Glagow more if we have any chance of progressing at all. Only if you want to win. Do we want to win ? Well if we do not want to win,what is the point in turning up to watch riders going through the motions. I believe it is stupid to suggest that we don't want to win. It's a chance of silverware, in what has been, largely, a disappointing season. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Understand ( I think) the whys and wherefores, but what is also equally annoying is that there is no team announcement (now 1.20pm). Do not intend to race back from SJP for this non event if promotion can't be bothered to announce the team or give advance notice of whether Robert will or will not be riding 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mauger65 202 Posted October 1, 2017 this utter farce of a season cannot come to an end soon enough no wonder speedway is dying in this country as the bspa stupid illogical rule book defies belief speedway is in the entertainment business.... and if the promotors of this country think embleton v cook is entertaining then it is says it all the leagues, the replacement rider rules and team building all need looking at in the winter I for one am fed up of seeing only 9 teams - with guests and nl reserves standing in I will be there tonight but I understand why many wont whether I am there next year I don't know and I have been going since 1975 I'm not blaming George and Alan - I'm holding all speedway promoters to account .............. the garbage of the league drummed up this year is unacceptable and at this rate the country will be down to 8 teams within 5 years as club after club will fold 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
