  1. As a No'8 meaning his PL fixtures will take priority
  2. Troy's hoping Iversen changes his mind and sticks around all season. A bit of average manipulation required for that to work out though.
  3. If Iversen is in, excitement levels will rise a little as that will make the team look very different. But, there's still a lot of work to be done by the promotion to better 2015's abysmal efforts. 1. Help in creating a better atmosphere. Just banging out loud music doesn't cut it 2. Rider interaction. We need to see some passion, Korneliussen and Schlein have it but we need to see it as a team too. 3. Interaction from the promotion. Last season we only heard Buster's passion when we limped out of the Play-Offs, need him letting rip from day 1 even if it's at my moaning. It will help lift people's spirits when you know the management care too (but don't give us the great racing speech when it's clearly shocking ) 4. Presentation. From 6.30 - 7.15 have the management & or rider's greet fans in, it's good customer service. Force themselves upon new people, don't wait to be spoken too. Bring back the theme night, live bands, BBQ's etc in the summer months. Start the season off with a cheap airhorn sale for a couple of meetings, the noise habit will just continue all season. The guy in the middle, we need a micman replica. Someone with enthusiasm but not shouty like last year's annoyance.
  4. Underlined what would be hugely concerning. To get things moving in the right direction you don't have to remove the old stadium first. That is a line an owner would use to build his houses then say the new stadium isn't financially viable.
  5. Is anyone actually buzzing for tape up next month? I'm in the 'completely fed up' crowd. This is a rant thread, let it all out peeps
  6. Lakeside have the biggest squad the world has ever seen to cover missing rider's but sack a rider because he's going to be missing British Speedway Logic
  7. At home Bjarne would be the best option. It'll be away where we'll see if he can be bothered.
  8. Any questions & answers to share from those able to attend??
  9. I hope those that are attending share the information of what went on.
  10. Looking at other League's it looks like Thursday's could be a problem for some rider's in the UK. Just gone through the Swedish Allsvenskan 2016 teams and there's some strong rider's within those teams/squads. That league runs on Thursday's 🙈
  11. Absolutely love it, great idea. Laser technology now is pretty cheap too
  12. At this moment in time, I wish we were lower league. Right now, Peterborough look a well run, professional outfit with the promotion keeping their fans well informed of any going's on. They're looking more ELITE than we are.
  13. I couldn't care less about a name. Competitiveness and giving their all for the team is far more important imo. The way the team has been set up this season it's obvious we expected and big gun. Now we're not getting one we'll be exceptionally weak, imo on a par with Leicester
  14. John Cook is just supporting his own interest by choosing a Friday. Friday's should be a no go for the EL
  15. I hope you're not a member of the promotion because telling people to go do something else if they don't like is exactly the reason why speedway has sunk so low. 1000's have made that choice and they're not coming back. Don't care what's said, if the team doesn't perform, fans will leave and not come back. Currently, the situation at King's Lynn looks shocking. Repeating that last season under Wagstaff
  16. Buster has already stated it's likely to be Monday and/or Thursday so their's no clash with Denmark.
  17. Utter garbage. The old fuddy duddies running our British Leagues are the cause by not moving with the progress of other competitions. Still believing they hold the power to ban riders when they compete in qualifiers or putting their own National Leagues before the British one. Also the absurdly busy fixture list and thinking we hold the rights to racing every single day of the week. We have to point the finger at ourselves forour leagues failures, not world speedways development.
  18. A few years ago when there way a lot of team riding I'd agree. Today though I'd scrap bonus points all together as there's generally about 3-4 bike length difference between riders in 1st & 2nd most heats today.
  19. Wish you'z in the know would tell me who the last rider is because it don't look like the club can be fookin assed
  20. Looks like Barker will come in on his 2014 EL average of 5.85 1. Batchelor 6.91 2. Barker 5.85 3. Lambert 6.59 4. Korneliussen 5.95 5. Schlein 6.24 6. Wilkinson 3.20 7. Rose 3.00 Ave: 37.74 (2.76 available)
  21. Just a thought, if we have Barker as a Double-Upper then that will also mean we can include Porsing, Stead etc as squad members, the same as Lakeside's done?? With them being EL assets we get the dibs on them all too.
