Edinburgh V Workington (pl) 21/6/13 @ 7.30pm
Fromafar replied to Mr Blobby's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
looks like it was the track to blame for the past 2 weeks after all. -
Redcar Vs Berwick 20/06/13
Fromafar replied to bandits 13's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
To be successful teams have to have a good reserve unfortunately we let the one we had slip away,the rest of the Team are inconsistent and not performing to their capabilities IMO.Will Kennet be riding on Sunday ? -
The fact of the matter is that it was only made official in the last few weeks that it was being implemented next season,that seems very little notice on such an important issue as some Promoters are pointing out.Berwick were pro-active regarding this matter which is commendable but to say that they will be running next year because they have a Air Fence is premature as is being made out by some considering they might not have been running this season if Sponsers were not in place,air fence or no air fence.I don't think it is scaremongering by some Promotions it is a major issue IMO.

Yeah the Berwick fixture list this season is very lopsided for whatever reason the Home fixtures especially . -
Berwick V Plymouth (22 June)
Fromafar replied to crescent girl's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
Tricky one for Berwick IMO,Lemon And Schramm might do a lot of damage to back up Wells and Bech. -
Have to agree regarding lack of information,the Promoters don't have to answer to fans how they run and finance their club for obvious reason deals with riders and Sponsers should remain confidential ,but when Clubs like Edinburgh(sorry to keep using them as an example but they did publish that they lost approx £30,000last season)and others report losing money and the average fan can see that their Team is just as expensive on paper as last years you wonder what is actually going on. I for one don't believe that the Riders are taking to drop in wages and riding to a wage code (but I may be wrong).the supporters bailed out Monarchs last year which is commendable , will they have to do it again this closed season with the price of a new Air Fence thrown in.We shall see.

Making Up The Numbers .its Getting A Joke Now!
Fromafar replied to speedwaysliders's topic in Speedway News and Discussions
Everything must be OK so I will just give it a miss this week is how a lot of fans see it ,unfortunately -
The extra expense will certainly not help the struggling clubs,but who knows a winter of discontent awaits I fear.If clubs like Edinburgh were claiming £30,000 losses last season from what I gather this will be another loss making season and other Clubs as well.

Why is Horwood going home is it his injuries? -
I Personaly was disappointed that there was so little new ideas and change came out of the Promoters Conference thus giving fans the impression that everything was Ok and all these mutterings of discontent was from a small majority on forums and Facebook ect. Unfortunately it looks like a lot fans who don't use these Media's for voicing their opinion's have just drifted away IMO.Negative opinions don't show the sport in good light,but constructive criticism should be taken on board.You could argue all day on the way forward for the Sport but the Promotions are the people who run the show and it is up to them collectively to get the show back on the road (providing they think something is not working).Reading some Promoters response to fans survey in the Speedway Star I was not impressed.

How did you work out these figures for Moggo,11 pt av doesn't seem right when he signed for Berwick. -
Andre Compton Joins Glasgow
Fromafar replied to Fozzie4388's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
Moggo was pretty decent when he came back for Berwick then Stoke,but it doesn't happen a lot.Compton was pretty poor before he packed it in though,but could do a job .shows the state the sport is in IMO,he won't be cheap!! -
Newcastle V Edinburgh (plkoc) 16/6/13 @ 6.30pm
Fromafar replied to Mr Blobby's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
Cook is just a machine these days in PL. -
Have to agree ,seems to go to the highest bidder each season.
-
Who owns Roynon . Any club taking him will just be helping him lower his average if you believe how he is riding so what is the point in that. Good luck to him on his recovery though.
-
The attendance hasn't increased even though the admission has been reduced,this is the problem the fans are deserting the sport for whatever reason.£13 is not bad IMO.,but the entertainment has to be up too scratch .
-
We need to stop paying silly money to mediocre Riders for starters.the crowd levels should determine the money paid out.How many teams at the end of last season said they had lost money yet these same Teams are paying money to riders who probably are the most expensive in the League. The sport cannot survive in its present state it is not not attracting new fans in any significant numbers and the regular fans seem be drifting away. I certainly don't confess to know a solution ,but IMO technology has overtaken the sport .

Who Should Be In Gb World Cup Team?

Autry can't gate at PL level.what chance would he have at World level.At least Cook and Worral can gate.I wouldn't have any of them in the Team.
