You must have some rose tinted goggles on. I haven't missed a home meeting since we started back up 3 years ago. Recently, the numbers have been down. There's three types of real fans - some who attend for the love of the racing, some who attend wanting their team to win, and some who are both. Constantly losing at home will soon have a negative impact on the numbers coming through the gate. Thats true for all sports.

Dipping into the foreign market works but it has to be done wisely. No one could've predicted Jakobsen would have flopped as much as he has. Doing so has put a lot of pressure on Vinnie, who really could have done with the season spent as reserve. It worked two seasons ago when we brought in Tate and Antti but this season it wasn't meant to be. Dropping Antti was the right choice for me, at the time - we needed strength home and away. With the team we had, on paper, we should have been winning at home and competing strongly away. Unfortunately, Cookies antics put a stop to any hope we all had

Come on Dave will a pint make it right.😂

Yeah they’re all good points mate. It showed with Batchelor on Saturday, it was evident to everyone you needed to be on that outside line and for someone with all his experience, he elected to stick to the curb.    Your home track needs to be an absolute fortress. But, it doesn’t help when it seems every rider licks there lips when they’re visit 😂  I’m 50/50 with vuolas, no doubting him at home he’s reliable around northside, but away he looked like an amateur at times. It doesn’t help his average is inflated with how consistent he was at home.    Vinnie is out of his depth at number 2, which I know is a hard number to ride at, but we’re basically running with 3 reserves and long in the tail which is what seems to have been the recurring theme for the last 3 season.

Can't see it happening tbf, when Doyle became available to ride in the UK Ipswich weren't prepared to have him back in the team as it ment they'd have to make 3 changes to the team to fit Doyle in, well that's what Paul Hurry said apparently.

What happens if Ipswich come in and offer him a deal to the end of the season?
