Workington v Oxford 13/06/26 3pm Championship.

I've seen GP riders racing in heat 8 against "rising stars" many times. It's kinda a half hearted effort to protect that heat anyway, which is pretty pointless to me. In the Champ clubs can put a stronger reserve at 7 so he gets a protected heat, but a weaker reserve at 6 getting harder rides. Even it the weaker reserve is at 7, he can be dropped from heat 8. Also the second highest averaged rider could ride at 2, a fully fit & on form Craig Cook could ride at 2 if Workington so desired! If the top 2 had to ride at 1&5 & the weakest reserve at 7 (not being allowed to be replaced in heat 8, like in the Prem) then yes make heat 8 a protected heat by all means. -
Get Saul Goodman. He’s even better

Claus Vissing & Jacob Hook would fit in place of Cook & Jacobsen. Currently think the team looks quite weak with Foord in the top 5. Dropping Jakobsen with the promise of a spot next year (on a 3.00 average) could work?

i really dont understand how teams can run r/r at no2 heats 2 and 8 are supposed to be protected so cant replace no2 if the rider thats at 2 is out should always move a rider to the number 2 position or be made to run 2 reserves in ht 8 -
10,000 versus NSS 6,500

Agreed you would think that would be part of their plan when they took over, how much can Ipswich stadium hold ? I can remember going on bank hol mondays in the late 90's when Lynn were visiting and they would regularly get north of 5k turn up.

Mostly gossip rumour and opinions on the BSF but if businesses ignore the public ....

I’d expect mayfield to look to hold a GP at foxhall next year. Has a bigger capacity than the NSS

Next year will be the acid test. They will need to to back up their words with a couple of top riders. Will they try and persuade Emil & Jason to return if not they need to go down that sort of route. It does all feel a bit flat this year no real spark to ignite it. They also need to work on a new presentation team for 27. - Today

A £100k net minus v last years' numbers from moment one.... 5,000 extra punters needed to pull that back, just to "stand still"... And not too many meetings to do it in either...
-
The balance sheet is in deficit before a wheel was turned. £70k lost due to no tv deal and a further £30k for a new air fence. No emil which would affect attendance and a repetive league.

"The BSF Massif" have made this weeks copy... Tony Mac referred to us as "cynics"... Best behaviour going forwards everyone...

Far too many on here. Ruins the enjoyment. 🤬

That's why I believe the time is right to call Mayfield out now. I can fully understand the pre-season Team Building situation where they were stuck behind the 8 ball but they've literally got nowhere to hide now when they've had two golden opportunities to strengthen the side. Since Day 1, Mayfield have talked a very good game but they haven't backed any of that up with actions imo.

Fair point despite what a few Witches fan's have been saying I don't think their 1-7 is that bad it's pretty solid throughout , if they can get Bangs going he's the key, all be it he's been poor so far, yes Kennet wasn't the greatest message of ambition to send out either, its a real shame they couldn't get Throssell over the line.
-
I presume down to two changes being needed, whereas its a straight swap for Dan at the NSS... If Dan comes back maybe Jason will end up at Ipswich?... Or somewhere else?. Northampton maybe?...
