They are using lighter materials like titanium for a very small improvement, exhausts were the main change that effected power. I would accept the difference between an upright and a lay down is very different. On your comment 'Dont go then', I for one don't, at least this season anyway, so comments like that don't help your case, that is exactly the problem PEOPLE HAVE STOPPED GOING. Remember I have more reason to go than the average fan mainly to do with Leon 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Uluru 80 Posted June 26, 2019 Friends and Family? Another good promotion by a good promotion. Pity there are so many glass-half-empty punters on this Forum. As an aside, if they advertise a Friends with Benefits night, I'll be there! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Normski 1,316 Posted June 26, 2019 (edited) Could be a close meeting this on Saturday. Bandits on paper anyway have the advantage at reserve. The right choice of guest for Garrity could give the Scorpions a sting in their tail. Bandits 51 Scunny 39. Edited June 26, 2019 by Normski Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Loose Diamond Posted June 26, 2019 On 6/25/2019 at 9:39 AM, Tellitasitis said: My only gripe/criticism is the standard of racing which is the continued processional racing with very little passing As a seasoned fan I find it boring so not sure what a new fan makes of it There must be something that can be done to track preparation to improve the product or is it the fact that the tracks are not capable of coping with the modern bikes Slowing the bikes down might help. Maybe a strange suggestion but to me when bikes are so fast it takes some of the riders skill away to pass. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bandit59 1,151 Posted June 26, 2019 Be interesting to see the fans go in 2 by 2 [Just like Noahs ark ] only really beneficial if you normally buy a programme. Loads of people beside me don't buy a programme so won't benefit them much more sensible to reduce the admittance IMO Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

crescent girl 1,907 Posted June 26, 2019 Kevin Doolan's weekly blog on club website has some interesting info about processional races at the Fours, citing the silencers of the past few years meaning that quality riders on a well-prepared track can't makes passes. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
