To be fair though.... Max Fricke did his level best to do the same on Monday.... No Promoters (or fans) should ever moan about why stadiums are empty, and the mainstream media persist in completely igoring the Sport, whilst such nonsense is allowed to take place... What you got away with years ago simply doesn't wash anymore in the glare of the 24/7 public scrutiny of Social Media... "Arrr, but this is Speedway". Is the stock answer from those who bury their head in the sand and collude with the promoters by attending and pretending that it is a 'real' Competition... (Those few who still attend that is)... Those many more thousands who have given up ever hoping it may one day gain credibilty to make it a bona fide 'proper' Competition, have a somewhat different view I would suggest.... And have 'spoken' loud and clear through their continuing absence.... Edited August 1, 2018 by mikebv 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RebelDan 203 Posted August 1, 2018 I think this will be a really tight meeting maybe 47-43 either way. Let’s hope for some cracking racing. Morris was v average in the pairs so let’s see what Tungste does. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cliffeboy 577 Posted August 1, 2018 Lawson needs to step up to the plate for sure tonight, he cost us big time Monday. He’s got the armband too. If the other Rebels are on usual form we should be ok. I can see Summers only getting three rides tonight, BWD and Jake are a different class at the OTA. It will be close especially if Bellego has a good one. 47-43 for me.

I don’t think so, we’ve just dropped off massively. The deadline is the 12th August & I’m unsure if new averages will be out by then. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ReadingRacer2017 159 Posted August 1, 2018 Only 6 meetings remain now. The manager won’t make changes now, should of been done months ago. No team deserves to reach the playoffs with such a horrendous away record. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

According to updates, Batch not making it to bend one, Batch pulling up in third place... hmmm. Brings back memories of a Poole performance at Swindon a few years back. Can't see it, though. The league is too tight to be able to chuck points away. Edited August 1, 2018 by Grachan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
noggin 1,388 Posted August 1, 2018 I don't get why folk are surprised, we were written off at the start of the season, had two away wins and suddenly became world beaters, we are basically now riding to what the predictions suggested. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
