Score enough to earn a wage yet keep his average attractive to teams closer to home. He struggled at a couple of tracks but averaged over 6.5 in the playoff meetings so think you are being a bit unfair. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Without details it is not necessarily good news. They might double our rent as many owners of tracks in the south have done. Current owners have been supportive and have given security in recent years. Wish we could organise something so that speedway "people" buy the stadium. Dare I say in a similar way to Glasgow.

For one season at least. 40 minutes ago, SharpenRake said: Might explain his haphazard scoring at the end of the season.

Hopefully two new tracks for him next year will spark a breakthrough. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Doubt anybody wanting to buy Armadale and continue it to be a speedway venue would be stupid enough to double the rent.They would have a redundant stadium on their hands .IMO.

Point was was keeping average low, then in meetings where didn't count towards his average, scores much better.

Fair point. Having seen him at ashfield, I'd say a bigger, faster track be good for his development. Very poor both visits Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
