Wolfsbane 12,944 Posted July 23, 2014 After all the bloodletting and toy throwing we might as well try to be positive. Out of the class of 2014 Pawlicki & Thorssell should be retained. The concern is that if Piotr continues on his current upward curve sooner or later he's likely to fall into the 'forget the UK' group. Until the format of the EL & the draft rider situation are resolved then I guess the remainder are pure speculation. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wolfsbane 12,944 Posted July 23, 2014 (edited) Your post seems to infer you have written off 2014 then. Errrr......yup. Some of us could see the writing on the wall quite a while back I've given up on the anger/annoyance with our promotion, bad for the blood pressure! I'm just sitting back and laughing at their inadequacy & inactivity We are waiting for our promotion to prove the fans wrong................................................... How long you got?

Tommy Sweetman 480 Posted July 23, 2014 I think our season virtually went down the plug hole on 23rd June,when we were thrashed at home by Lynn.Since then its been a downward spiral both on and off the track. Wolverhampton 2015.The biggest worry for me will be how Dave Parry reacts to this seasons ball$-up.His sponsership money is performance related,so dont think hes gonna be to pleased with the way the team have performed.Think im right in saying its the longest one going in British speedway(could be wrong though)so lets just hope he thinks this is just a one season blip. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dump that clutch 630 Posted July 23, 2014 is there any other race night Wolverhampton can go to, or is it Monday or nothing... ? Genuine question because if we were to go to standard race nights for all Elite League, Monday would definately not be on the list in my eyes.. Poland - Sunday Sweden - Tuesday UK - Wednesday/Thursday i know Denmark ride on Wednesday's but not many top boys ride over there.... and even the top Danes don't ride in all of their fixtures..

Poland - Sunday Sweden - Tuesday UK - Wednesday/Thursday i know Denmark ride on Wednesday's but not many top boys ride over there.... and even the top Danes don't ride in all of their fixtures.. To quote Woffinden 'Poland sunday, UK Monday, Sweden Tuesday, rest of the week off'. Monday seems to be favourite due to Sky coverage and the ability of non Monday tracks to move to suit Sky. Whether this could be done on a permanent basis will depend on local conditions with tracks owned or rented and whether a change of racenight would be financial suicide I guess. What happens if Sky pull the plug in the future? Edited July 23, 2014 by Wolfsbane Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
