Phil The Ace 2,860 Posted November 13, 2015 So next year you will race on alternative Mondays with Cradley. Do you like or not?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mdmc82 2,878 Posted November 13, 2015 Problem with that could be fitting in fixtures if Wolves have rain offs Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wolfsbane 12,944 Posted November 13, 2015 Interesting that it's on the Spoon OS but not a dickie on Wolves OS. Anyone would think they're a bit worried about the reaction of Wolves fans to 1 home match a fortnight. Plus this appears to be confirmation that the new deal with Ladbrokes is for Mondays thus excluding Wolves from signing riders who don't want Poland-UK-Sweden on consecutive days. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Plus this appears to be confirmation that the new deal with Ladbrokes is for Mondays thus excluding Wolves from signing riders who don't want Poland-UK-Sweden on consecutive days. Nigel Pearson says one of the reasons they were able to return to Monmore is because Wolves have only 14 home matches. Nothing said yet about alternative nights,or what other meetings Wolves would be able to fit in. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Phil The Ace 2,860 Posted November 13, 2015 Would woffy fancy a return knowing he will only have a home match once every 2 weeks. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BWitcher 12,453 Posted November 13, 2015 It's interesting.. For the past few years it's been debated that speedway has two options. Option A: Fortnightly speedway with strong teams Option B: Weekly speedway but weaker teams. There were many fans, Wolves included, who didn't want fortnightly speedway. Likewise there were many other fans, Wolves included, who didn't want the weaker teams. In typical speedway fashion we now have the worst of both options.. Fortnightly speedway with weaker teams. The reality is that we've had that for the last couple of seasons, this year they are just going to make it obvious! 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Of course! And on one Monday his costs are a hell of a lot lower. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevebrum 6,821 Posted November 13, 2015 Just why do Wolves need to put out any official statement about Cradley? ? It's between Ladbrookes and Cradley. Little surprised that Cradley are running on a Monday tho, just hope that doesn't backfire on Wolves as clearly CVS is thinking with his heart on this one. As far as I'm concerned Wolves have seniority over fixtures so if there are issues with not enough Mondays then Cradley will have to give way or move to alternative days. Cradley coming back shouldn't have any effect on our home meetings. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cradley coming back shouldn't have any effect on our home meetings. The statement isn't just about Cradley. The statement clearly states Wolverhampton Speedway will be running on alternate Mondays. The very fact that Wolves fans are questioning it is reason enough for a statement to have been issued. The lack of one simply treats supporters with contempt and the attitude of "Why should we put a statement out" just fuels that. Although the number of meetings won't change, fortnightly speedway is something a number of fans have been very vocally against... now it is here. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shadowfax 30 Posted November 13, 2015 Well CVS & Adams had better put out a fantastic team with a meeting once a fortnight because if they ride like they have for the last few seasons his crowds will dwindle 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
