For a lot of clubs just reaching the play-offs is considered a successful season! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ambition can bankrupt you and close you down in many sports... With Speedway being one of them that is particularly risky given the lack of any real financial remuneration for success when put up against the added money being paid out when you have a good season home and away.. Happiness Is 46-44.... And whatever happens away from home, happens... With many teams I would think being not too upset at the odd 30 to 35 point score now and again.. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

IronScorpion 1,407 Posted April 26, 2022 (edited) Douglas increases his average, as we thought, Aarnio & Kennedy but it means Lambert down to reserve from 1st May. Edited April 26, 2022 by IronScorpion Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
