From what I have seen there are few clubs in the Scottish Football League in the Lower Divisions whose grounds that are a lot worse than Shielfield. Lower League football in in a worse state than Speedway cant see many changes to grounds and standard in the near future.IMO
A successful businessman would be an unsuccessful businessman very quickly if he invested in Scottish Football IMO
3 assessed 5pt men puts a fair bit of pressure on the top guys,I dont think Stead will find it as easy as some make out need a fair bit of dirt down for him and Hall IMO.
Sean Courtney is friends with the Fricke family surely he would like him at Ashfield. Could be too expensive though. The Monarchs are the Team with the cash!!
Could be a fact that the independant thinkers not sheep are tending their allottments and going to whist drives.We have to get them back to the Speedway.If the product is entertaining the fans will return IMO.
While Ian Rea has a perfectly valid point,but the recent survey in the Speedway Star pointed to Track preperation be an issue with a lot of fans regarding entertainment value (not at any one particular venue) and surely has to be taken into account when trying to improve the value for money aspect. Reducing the admission costs is a fine gesture but if the entertainment value isn't improved it will be a wasted exercise in many fans eyes.
I am sure that if you can source 7 unkown riders that are brilliant and finish the season on 9pt averages and ride for PL pay rates, the Promotion will sign them and probably invite you on to the Board of Directors
Have you see Aspergen riding yet,I give in you got me beat. Out and Out Heatleaders does not win much these days its strength in Depth IMO which this seasons Berwick line-up appears to have again only my opinion.
Agree,no disrepect to Albin as he might become a great rider ,but Wethers on 5.6 or Albin on 5 its a no brainer.Like the promotion stated if Alden had come back we might have been able to accomodate him till he settled in.
He did lack consistancy saw him have some superb rides at various different tracks though and was very good under pressure if he gated anywhere,still young though.
Good strength in depth Team, I think Kozza and Bellego will be the key men to a very good season.Well done to the Promotion.
Taffy was probably printing flyers naming the Team knowing him.
