Before refurb, you just wouldn't use the toilets as they must have been the worst in the country, no light only 2 female toilets in the stadium. Now they are plush, with running hot water, having nice toilets do make a difference for us women who attend speedway, Glasgow crowds are now about 50/50 male and female, so I would say that it should be a bit more of a priority. That may be a reason why crowds are going down in places. I go to the pairs event, track and racing brilliant but viewing is awful, especially for short people like me and not enought toilets, and they ran out of programmes 1hr before start of meeting, which was shocking. Totally agree, I am always fearful when my partner has to use the stadium toilets. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Also staying fit is a key component of being a sport men’s. Don’t really ever see why it’s brought up. The best riders stay fit. He averaged over 6 in Somerset's last PL season and again for Peterborough last year until his injury so he's clearly capable of more in the CL. I don't see much difference between him and Jake Allen tbh, last season together at Somerset in 2018 BWD averaged slightly higher, last season Allen similarly slightly higher. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What a ridiculous statement, I could easily name half a dozen world class riders who didn't "stay fit", there's a lot of luck with any motor sport. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Question to all you number cruncher's on here: who are the riders available who fit average wise? Edited February 21 by CountyGround Don't think there were any names suggested? what about Pedersen with a B? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cliffeboy 577 Posted February 29, 2020 Get the feeling he may change a couple to make us competitive if there is no obvious heat leader available. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
szkocjasid 3,027 Posted February 29, 2020 Random comment, but how strong does the 2015 side seem now? Especially for a second tier side! Josh Grajczonek, Brady Kurtz, Richie Worrall, Charles Wright, Paul Starke, Rasmus Jensen & Oliver Greenwood! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ghosty 500 Posted March 2, 2020 Does B-arnie Pedersen fit average wise? good mate of Gazza! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Catalan 717 Posted March 2, 2020 Would need to change a few riders and clashes with Denmark, makes it a non starter I would think Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
