  1. Tungate I would expect little from. Seems to have peaked and gone backwards.
  2. The expected result but by a much bigger margin. It's early days but the robins aren't looking like a top 4 team on this showing.
  3. Lakeside built for home fortress so no surprise on the result.
  4. EL draft averages should have been used for those who have been in the draft seasons so far. That would have been the fairest way IMHO.
  5. No it's not right. Nor is it right for any one promotion to mess other teams and riders about with a track that us clearly not ready for racing.
  6. Correct, nor is it right to say a meeting may or may not be on!
  7. It's all fun tho ain't it! Time will tell for both teams.
  8. They got lucky giving the right information. However it seemed everyone thought or assumed it would be off, including riders who predicted the Saturday call off. Sometimes when many are saying the same thing one has to assume there is no smoke without fire. Hopefully lessons learned all round. Looking forward to seeing Wolves at the new stadium later this year.
  9. Other promotions shouldn't be putting out press releases without the home staging club informing first I agree. However what isn't a mistake is that all 3 clubs got the information 100% correct.
  10. It does matter. Fans needed to be treated better. It was obvious that that should become a standard procedure reply for that kind of call off. That isn't having a go at Belle Vue, that should apply to ALL clubs. I really can't see the issue in releasing that statement within 24 hrs. Any blame or fault shouldn't inconvenience the people who help to pay the bills! Investigations on blame can still be ongoing.
  11. Should have been made within 24 hrs! About time! !
  12. and the fact that 3 other promotions had already told their supporters it was off earlier in the week? Just made up then? ? As expected and predicted. And already declared CORRECTLY by 3 other promotions earlier.What a farce.
  13. Agreed , as long as any squad signing fits within the rules to suit all teams then no issue.
  14. the difference is that no other club had a high profile postponement only 4 days ago. 3 clubs making similar statements can't be wrong either. Unless of course you play the Poole line that some take that it's just 'anti Aces'. Given as I class Belle Vue my 2nd favourite team that would be silly of course. Nobody has had a high profile call off 4 days ago , like you say get real. Assurances should be given by the hosting club AND the BSPA that we won't have the same fiasco as Saturday.
  15. Are the Aces management really saying that a practise session will take place on Thursday and if OK will still run the match on Friday?? I mean, do they really think it's fair to other team and fans to expect such leniency with matches running to suit? ?? By all means have a rigorous testing on Thursday. It most certainly needs it. But why should Wolves and their fans be expected to wait on this being successful. No lessons appear to have been learned. There is no way the Aces should be allowed to run a day before a match is due to take place. You are either ready or you ain't. Wolves have every right to expect news within a suitable time frame. 48 hrs before? A push. 24 hrs a possibility ?? No way. I can't wait to visit the new place but have no intention of having my bank holiday ruined by incompetencies in Manchester.
  16. Once he got going he looked much quicker, Joonas was way quicker tho. I really hope Riss does end up at Wolves.
  17. Common sense and I hope that ruling is adhered to. Couldn't care less if NBJ is named in the stars squad, wish the lad well and the team. Looking forward to seeing him and Kai if either are in the side when you come to Monmore. I also couldn't care less if Kai rides most of the matches and NBJ only a few. Just for clarity if would be nice to hear that Kai is the number 8 (as he is exactly what the new rider number 8 position is for) and NBJ is a named squad rider. That makes perfect sense. It makes perfect sense if Kai rides all the matches. What doesn't make sense is that NBJ is named number 8 as he doesn't qualify for that particular ruling. It really should be that simple.
  18. British speedway is in trouble, not any 1 league. A point I have been making for years. Well done for ignoring the obvious but the expected retort. You never fail to deliver.
  19. Just back from the press and practice. Joonas and Fred looked very quick, Fred I think was on a Gerhard engine? Joonas had number one on his bike and kit. The rest I couldn't make out or hear. Cradley and MDL riders also taking part. Meant to add Erik Riss looked awesome too!
