Wolfsbane 12,944 Posted July 13, 2015 (edited) Because Shamek Pawlicki said last season alot of the Poles didnt want to ride for a monday night track. Perhaps a change of race night would give us more options when trying to put a decent team together. When BV's National Stadium opens next year will they move from Monday? If they do, who will be left sticking out like a sore thumb? No issue with BAGS meetings on wednesdays. They've just signed a new 3 year deal with Ladbrokes, has there been any forward thinking? Maybe this is the opportunity to drag Dumb & Dumber into the 21st century? With regard to clashing with the Danish league, doesn't seem to have been a problem for Poole.

I seem to remember BV are switching to Fridays with Wednesday as an off day. The EL will soon be a Wednesday-Friday product as surely Leicester will have to switch soon.

Aces51 2,778 Posted July 13, 2015 Belle Vue have long said that Mondays are difficult both in terms of getting riders and because many fans go out at the weekend and traditionally Monday is a quiet day for the entertainment industry. The preferred race night will be Friday in the hope of attracting more children and also because it is regarded as the start of the weekend when people are more inclined to spend. Wednesday will be used for GP weekends and other FIM clashes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wolves probably wouldn't run on Wednesday as it clashes with Birmingham and Cradley. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wolfsbane 12,944 Posted July 13, 2015 Wolves probably wouldn't run on Wednesday as it clashes with Birmingham and Cradley. It's a good point but I've never understood the logic. If I'm a Wolves fan, I go to Wolves. If I'm a Brummie fan, I go to Brum. If I'm a Spoon, I go to get my head examined. 8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If I'm a Spoon, I go to get my head examined. That brought a smile on a rainy day 😁 In all seriousness though, it's the logic Adams and Van Stratton would see. However, like most of their logics, it's about 20 years out of date. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dabbsjoe 149 Posted July 13, 2015 the problem we have which I think was mentioned on the Coventry vs wolves thread is the loyalty to the asset base that CVS and Adams have always had. the team is usually put together with as many of our assets as possible. this was never really a problem 6 or 7 years ago as we had a variety of assets to choose from. problem being now is that the asset base hasn't really changed, all riders have gotten older and the only worthwhile additions to this asset base in the last 8 years are Tai and Piotr who we aren't using because they don't want to ride here.

Not at all. It has absolutely nothing to do with picking the team mainly from the asset base or not. It has EVERYTHING to do with picking the correct riders on the correct averages. Just bringing in 3 or 4 new faces will do nothing if the same mistakes are made in team building. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SCB 15 Posted July 13, 2015 If you fancy kicking out Freddie Lindgren, we'll take him at Coventry next season. He'll make a nice second string with Hans Andersen Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevebrum 6,831 Posted July 13, 2015 Wouldn't Wednesday nights clash with the Danish League? With regard to clashing with the Danish league, doesn't seem to have been a problem for Poole. Or kings Lynn. If you fancy kicking out Freddie Lindgren, we'll take him at Coventry next season. He'll make a nice second string with Hans Andersen If we have to suffer yet another season of an underperforming number one think there is as much chance as Tai and Piotr going anyway, or nil chance Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Beowulf 1,513 Posted July 13, 2015 If you fancy kicking out Freddie Lindgren, we'll take him at Coventry next season. He'll make a nice second string with Hans Andersen To be honest his UK form this year is inexplicable. He is not old, he knows the tracks and set-ups, he has been at top top rider for Wolves. He wants be in the UK unlike other riders, so exactly what is going on ? Bemusement doesn't begin to describe it. Wolves probably wouldn't run on Wednesday as it clashes with Birmingham and Cradley. Wolves closed down in 1982/1983 and I went to one speedway meeting at Birmingham as a mate asked me. I imagine I am like the vast majority of speedway fans, it is your team or nothing. So, no, I wouldn't see a problem running against Birmingham. I don't think Wolves fans are keeping Birmingham afloat! 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He wants be in the UK unlike other riders, so exactly what is going on ? Bemusement doesn't begin to describe it. I think its mostly in the head. Under this system it doesn't take much to have a bad meeting. A rider can then start questioning themselves, making changes on setups that aren't required, changing things that perhaps don't need changing.. losing more and more confidence as things get worse in each race. Then, they drop to second string, have some easier races, start to win and suddenly they are a different rider again. Fred hasn't dropped that far.. yet! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
