However sadly I think it will need several more coming back to save crowds dwindling gradually. I really hope the likes of Nicki coming back does encourage some stay always to come back however I think it’s a limited amount of people that will show an interest tho sadly. i really hope crowds are up to prove to the promoters that we need the bigger boys back to help bring more fans back to watching live. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

None, like Belle Vue, like Ipswich and Peterborough (quite likely). Doesnt mean to say they didn’t try. Either way we are still good enough for a top 4 place.

Even if it is Iversen hes not a big name Maybe not on the world stage any more but still a GP rider and in the context of Britain he’s still a big name I’d argue, albeit one coming to the twilight of his career.

How many have been at the top of the sport? World number 3 , dominated the Polish and UK leagues for a couple of seasons and id say is pretty exciting to watch and has been right back from his Newport days. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Still top class and i remember him from the Gjedde era, always pretty exciting to watch and is still well capable of mixing it in the GPS he has a few Danish title's to.

foreverblue 6,093 Posted January 31, 2020 Personally I think the Wolves team will surprise a few people and will make the play offs despite being 2 points under the limit. 4 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
