I’d imagine so yes. At least they tried tho.

Apparently he said he wanted to ‘put right’ the wrongs from this year back at Wolves again. we know they all say the same so let’s see what happens.

Yes of course, only Jacob lost it for the Wolves in the play offs. So basically you got it wrong. in all honesty I bet there wasn’t one person who predicted different at the start of the season.

No worries both. It’s easy to forget sometimes we do get tenner meetings and value for money on offer. Rare I know.

It was a £10 meeting today. I did say! Today was meant to be £10 for the 15 heats, plus the youth championship racing after with over 30 heats as well. something like 45 heats for a tenner is a bargain in anyone’s money.

Surprised at this news. Only 1 makes sense. financial suicide for Berwick, Kent have a rigid curfew that often causes cancellations. Plain crazy news.

Nope, not surprised.

Not sure why the big deal about it. A £10 meeting with another 30+ races was on paper a brilliant deal. Rain wasn’t expected and anyone who was there would know there was no way they could continue on it. It had become a skating rink really quickly. The fact the meeting was being run this late is the only issue, no point in even trying to rearrange a nothing meeting this season. Tickets honoured next season, no biggie to me.

Kent? They struggle to run meetings to 15 heats with the curfew they have. Looks like no TV deal because no company will change their times to suit one club.

All kids under 16 should be free with a parent.

They said ticket can be used towards a meeting next season. Hopefully 10 quid off. Gotta feel for the track staff who worked hard all day for the rain to ruin it. Looking at the pictures this morning corners were still under water! 2 heats raced 4 reruns says it all.

Any club that doesn’t go for a children and parent deal in the summer is beyond crazy. Get families with children is the lifeblood of all clubs.

Not everyone can change work patterns just like that. The change of race night was always likely to alienate some fans who can’t make that change. Dont blame the fans who can’t attend tho.

Who Klindt? No thanks.

For me 1. Luke Becker - has settled into UK racing with ease and has produced some big scores. 2. Rasmus Jensen - turned Swindon from a decent side into a title winning one. Has been knocking about the 2nd tier for a few seasons now and couldn’t see what a difference he would make. Brilliant. 3. Cameron Heeps - was dreadful last season but such a different rider this year. Play offs exempt. 4. Ryan Douglas - back after a season away and stepped up big time for Leicester and made him hot property for the top flight. 5. Jordan Palin - another hot property that smashed the NL on his debut season.

I hope the Panthers win this and get to the final.

Well said. The likes of Kilby (Swindon/Birmingham) and Bishop (IOW) are doing a proper job of promoting. Thank god for these 2 who continue to show the dinosaurs how to promote. If every club had one of these involved at your club the sport would be dragging itself up by its laces. Kilby in particular (as I’ve worked under him at Brum) is about the most enthusiastic and nicest people you could meet.

Hence why they were happy to mention the GP then.

Was waiting for some sort of confirmation however they mentioned the GP next year at Cardiff so who knows. Kelvin and Nigel have been saying they have really enjoyed themselves with all the travelling the past few weeks. Maybe a hint but nothing seems clear. That we don’t know.

With ease. Seeing them humiliated in the semis by the ‘fodder’ was the highlight. congratulations to Swindon, no one would have touched them in the Play Offs. Best team all season long.

Ditto Poole or Wolves.

His average would indicate no.

Assuming 8 teams....... 7 home matches 7 away matches ——————— top half/bottom half split 3 home 3 away ————————— play offs for top 4 - 1 or 2 extra matches bottom 4 race for positions 5-8. Giving at least 2 extra matches. thats 12 home matches race every other week = 6 months. add in a KO Cup competition or inter league competition if required.

Or even start April, Play Offs end of September. 1 match home and away. adopt the Polish system of play offs for top half of the table and bottom half. a 10 week season is beyond crazy and none workable.

Cough cough, Miedzinski, cough cough, Poole, cough cough Swindon asset. As Poole and others have proved, riders will go where they want when they want.
