bringbackHalifax

It is not an extra payday, it costs to do the meeting unless you reach top four. As for pulling out late, he only found out when they did the draw that he was in it. Scotty has pulled out as well, but no comments on here, speedway is imploding in the UK and everyone wants to carry on as it were. It will be too late very soon.Riders need to be more involved in decision making and ideas. We cannot afford 2 min clocks to keep meetings moving but we can have transponders that will bring the fans back in their thousands (sarcasm).

Ashton Boughen off to Glasgow with a very nice signing on fee that will dwarf anything any number one has received this season….. and he will be reserve. Piper or Complin is the dilema

It was Phil who made the call to force wolves to do this.Where was he when Sheffield conveniently did not run when Tobi was injured. Phil should have been all over that.

Regards Vaculik and Lindgren, Lindgren committed to a gap and Vaculik spun up and parked the bike meaning gap closed real quick. Lindgren had no where to go, Vaculik was turning back. In rerun Vaculik again spun up mid corner and this time shut off and pulled back a little as Dan went through. Very close again to crashing and route cause was both times Vaculik spinning up and losing traction. If Dan had of touched and Vaculik went down Dan would have been out but not his fault. The other point was when Lambert was taken down on 1st bend Leberdevs should have been disqualified as no bunching, he just chose not to turn,

As a neutral watching this meeting, how can there be good racing when there is a complete no show from the away team. It takes 2 teams to make a good meeting and Glasgow were just outclassed. It was like watching Halifax away meetings in the 70s and early 80s. Cannot blame the home side or the track, start with Team manager who is crap, and riders who looked beat before 1st corner.

All the above are replaceable with money. The real showstopper will be planning will have, or soon will expire and there is no hope in hell a new application would get through to enable bikes to come back to Brough Park. the day he announced he was staying for another year whilst banking the cash from the end of an era meeting, stupidly thinking he could make that much money every week with a rubbish team was really the end.That was 24 hrs after he was approached with a genuine offer to take it over.

If the SCB information is correct and was known at lunchtime yesterday, why was the official reason not given out until today. According to the press release the “true facts” were known. Who picked up the cost of his cancelled flight ? The real issue here is if he misses one more meeting this year whilst riding elsewhere the SCB, BSPL and Captain transparent Phil are goosed. The independent ruler that every one wanted in speedway cannot exist in current form. if emperor Phil with no financial input makes the right call on clubs mis behaving, it will lead to club closing down, or in west Scotland throwing toys out of their pram, which could mean closing down or selling. So his hands are tied. Buster and Godfrey have been the worse possible leaders of the sport and everyone is now suffering. Put the fans first with every decision would be a good start, but I believe it’s too late now.

I understand Glasgow have pulled out of the Jubilee Cup.

Might be a late change with Mr Lambert now able to ride for the Aces after all.

Need to get your fingers out and agree some jubilee cup dates as waiting for Ully and now Tom and Holme it could be season opener next year.

Havvy on comma made it fun tonight but 15 races starting at 7-30 and finishing at 9-50 is way too long

Johnny Swales likes to add 40 mins to every meeting. Spends an awful amount of time on track during meetings. Did it at Newcy as well . Needs to remember its riders on bikes the crowd pay for not ex riders on tractors. Even Hayley said on at least two occasions the tractor should be coming in any time now and five minutes later they were still out.

I think the Belle Vue team have found set ups that give them top end speed, but makes it a little harder to get out of the gate. Hence the first lap chase. No team is strong enough to trouble them at home this season, it depends on the young German( he is gonna be a good one ) and Jyes away points but the rest can score at most places with maybe one or two struggling at Monmore. Even Lemo won’t get this one wrong, this year.

Poor management not giving Flint a try. Kemp never looked like doing anything in his last 3 races. Does not matter who wins it’s no lasts that count and Kemp looked like a nailed on last in both races v Czechs

Not strictly true. He had the option to move it on and get out last yr but he panicked that someone else thought they could make it pay and in his naivety he thought he could do it. The night after he was approached he announced he was carrying on and never even went back to let the frontman of the people who wanted to take on the club know before the announcement. Now the club is in such a sorry state, no one will do it now.

Match off as of 10pm last night. Newcastle have gone under.

Dark dark days for the Geordies. Rob is no speedway promoter and he should of walked at the end of last season. Not sure they will complete season as people will vote with their feet. Lions won well, but only matched Redcar score, however they could of contributed to the end of Newcastle and that will remove 7 league points from their current points total. Irony.

Heat 14 instead of Hume.

Rob should have stood to his guns and walked at the end of last season. He is a butcher by trade not a promoter. He got giddy with the takings from the wake and thought it’s okay. BWD on a high guarantee and scoring zilch is not good business. Not the first time it’s happened but Newcastle will have to build trust with the rider population as they talk among themselves and the current rumours will not help. If true good on Starkey for holding firm. I think Newcastle need a winning team to attract fans and they are 4 riders away from being competitive. Very dark clouds and less attractive for someone to step in than it was in November last year.

Nice of Jye whatsisname to comment though he is biased. To progress in speedway he needs all tracks to close except the 2 he can ride Belle Vue sometimes and Berwick.

Nip and nick whilst warming up. Redcar will score more than 50 in this one then Diamonds will be lucky to get about 25 at Glasgow next Friday on BSN tough times ahead

Seen some great racing at Redcar but that was a bore fest. as for BSN why no replays and why pick Glasgow v Newcastle next week, that is going to be mid sixties for Glasgow

Long term plan. No rider to replace retired Eddy. Come and do one meeting drop it, and we can have a facility for ages. Rider shortage sorted.

Once Zagar gets himself sorted he will be at Belle Vue and they will then be stronger, but need more from Max and Brady at home.

I hope this is genuine and not a fudge. Think this is a stop gap, and Ellis not around in a few weeks time.
