To be honest there needs to be a way that in the event of the meeting being postponed any travelling supporters are entitled to a refund. That way you may encourage additional supporters to a travel. Yes you would still be out of pocket for the fuel & food etc but at least the admission fee would be coming back to you.

I would agree Plymouth is a good one, they are not all as good. - Today

Cami critical of the refs decisions which he claims all went against the Tigers, also the Poole fans especially those near to the pits who he claimed verbally abused the Glasgow riders. Shaping up nicely for a battle royale in the second leg.
-
Your original statement that "Sheffield is the most dangerous track in the league" is not borne out by historical statistics and is therefore misinformation. Like most teams, Sheffield has seen several of its home riders suffer injuries during recent seasons, but not once have those injuries been incurred at Owlerton. Rather odd considering they are riding at Owlerton week-in, week-out, don't you think? In the absence of evidence to the contrary, a retraction of your disgraceful and dishonest misrepresentation would be the appropriate measure.

Richard has always been a consistent points scorer.

It doesn’t affect Poole’s crowd. Yet there are up to 1000 people from all over the U.K. watching the Poole stream. There will be no more than a handful of Poole fans at Glasgow for the second leg but hundreds willing to buy a stream. Every other club is making good money streaming yet not Glasgow, who somehow think not streaming is the way to go. Plymouth have a very good streaming service, the same as Poole, with two commentators, several cams and a raving reporter in the pits. Must make quite a bit of money for the club. Used it several times this season. What’s the betting many Glasgow fans paid for the stream when they were at Plymouth? -
The thing is that people are looking at it from a spectator's mentality, not a rider's. They are adrenalin junkies and don't have the same concerns as the average person, otherwise they wouldn't race at all. Having raced on various tracks up and down the country (on 4 wheels, not 2), I can assure you that Sheffield is without doubt a challenging track, but also very exhilarating to race on. Yes, the riders will admit it is 'dangerous' but once they are out there that goes out of their mind, and getting a win at Sheffield will give any rider a kick.

Also were outstanding debt exceeds the value of the bond.
-
Yeah , not paying riders correctly breaches SCB regulations. Rules for some but not others it would seem.
-
I think its a bit late in the season to start playing around with rider pairings - just my opinion.

For those that maybe cannot get to the track or find it too costly, then a stream at the same price is crazy! Clubs see the stream as extra revenue from those opposition fans and others unable or unwilling to travel. Premiership clubs have the 'benefit' of TNT Sports coverage but still most of them offer their own stream when not on TNT! I think I'm right in saying that Glasgow are the only Championship club that do not offer a streaming service. Ok thats their perogative and maybe they don't need any extra income from opposition fans unable to visit, especially if they benefit from all stadium income. Shame really.......that is all. -
We are definitely weaker in heat 13 at the moment, pressure seems to be all on Richard to win that race, perhaps Zach could move to 5, only problem is if 3 and 4 are struggling, we've got problems
-
Might be worth putting Zach back at 5 for a week or so as be stronger in H13 then.
-
In the post-meeting interviews Lewis firstly had an electrical fault and then a puncture!! Anders - after a hellish week with vans breaking down and late track arrivals - said he has 'lost his gating gloves' and was hoping for some more track time at Sheffield (Oops!) and in Poland at the weekend. Everything fixable and both will be fine imo.
-
You are missing the point Ipswich , Leicester, Birmingham and Oxford hardly produce fast speedway Lynn to a lesser extent is fast but Belle Vue and Sheffield are the fastest Sheffield is narrower and according to your own riders has one line close to the fence Its irrelevant about career ending crashes they can happen anywhere My point is that as a rider would you rather race in tricky conditions at Sheffield or say Ipswich …… Sheffield would be much riskier in adverse conditions

Yeah I would have thought the stream would be the same as the admittance fee at the stadium.
