iandean3 24 Posted November 5, 2017 Ipswich have always had 7.30 parade with first race 7.45 Heat winners invariably have a lap of honour and interaction with the fans has increased greatly over the last couple of seasons Meetings are often done by 9.15 and rarely go beyond 9.30 unless there is an understandable issue There is a lot done right at Foxhall and every effort appears to be in mind to improve any areas not currently seen as top notch Agree, just need the PA system sorted as well.

dontforgetthefueltapsbruv 10,706 Posted November 5, 2017 (edited) Agree, just need the PA system sorted as well.Agreed for the back straight stand. Although elsewhere it is excellent also. Not sure how much work and cost would be involved to rig up someting at the top pointing in. This could solve the issue for those in the stand whilst directing any extra decibels into the bowl and so not risking problems from outside complaints.

TheScotsman 2,482 Posted November 5, 2017 A few more lux, or even footcandles, on the track wouldn't go amiss. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
topaz325 1,855 Posted November 5, 2017 Ag A few more lux, or even footcandles, on the track wouldn't go amiss. Agree I think this needs a topic on its own Track lighting is there a standard for all tracks. I very much doubt it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Norfolk Bear 250 Posted November 6, 2017 For next season, for me the big 2 to sort is Double up / down must be banned , Guests , for me stop altogether, guests for Reserves what a joke . Don’t address these & crowds will drop further 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Don’t address these & crowds will drop further Could not agree more, at Berwick we have had a guest at No7 for most of the season, a 2 point position should be easy to fill even if they are not brilliant 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ch958 2,394 Posted November 6, 2017 without guests people argue that there would be drubbings but there's drubbings anyway and at least without guest they would be honest drubbings 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
StevePark 2,780 Posted November 6, 2017 without guests people argue that there would be drubbings but there's drubbings anyway and at least without guest they would be honest drubbings Would it also not affect attendances too? If you've got one (or more) NL type rider guesting for your team (especially if it's the number one and/or number two in the averages they are replacing), would you turn up and watch, knowing the likelihood is a thrashing? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I mean you make a good point but people say they stay away if guests are involved I, for one, consider guests make a fixture meaningless and prob wouldn't go maybe if their usage could be severely restricted...

waytogo28 2,054 Posted November 6, 2017 Please NO more of the same guest starring for both teams in a two legged cup final ( as with Scott Nicholls this season ). Way beyond credible. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tosh1218 592 Posted November 9, 2017 An effort must be made to speed up the action In theory 15 heats of approx 1 min of action = 15 mins So why are meetings taking over 2 hrs no wonder newbies to our sport ain't returning 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
waytogo28 2,054 Posted November 10, 2017 And Please No More double headers a la Stoke's end of season frolics! 30 heats plus advertised and 20 run - was a refund offered? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tosh1218 592 Posted November 11, 2017 Teams have a 8 month season to fit fixtures in so why do clubs try to cram in fixtures in the last few weeks of the season .Rain offs are a part of this sport but clubs should rearrange these earlier.or by a set date ,it's farcical 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
