  1. Perhaps they’ve tried but he’s decided to keep his options open? Can imagine a few clubs would like him on their side.
  2. If Glasgow can get him aboard some decent kit then Oystercard should be very good value on his average.
  3. Because we would have the longest and worst tail in the history of speedway! Iversen seemed to have some issues with the Lynn track in 2018, didn’t look particularly comfortable on it towards the end of the season and compared to Cook and Riss is no spring chicken. If Lynn went for Puk rather than Riss I think it would eat up too many points and in any case I’d like to see Cook back, he had a pretty good year last year and I’d like to see what he can do over a full season.
  4. Anything to do with Plymouth’s promoter? Perhaps they feel that they need extra insurance that he can run a club at a higher level.
  5. And I respect yours. Who do you support out of interest? I’m a Lynn fan and at various points last season Cook, Riss, Jorgensen, MPT, Proctor, Andersen, S Lambert and Kerr all had teams in the Championship and I can honestly say that it didn’t make me see them any differently in terms of a team representing my club.
  6. Loads of reasons ahead of doubling up why speedway is where it is ie poor racing, poor stadia, too expensive etc. I don’t believe doubling up really matters to many people and certainly doesn’t have anything to do with attracting new customers. I accept that fixed race night has had a negative affect on a few tracks but IMO they are essential if people want to avoid fixture clashes both in the UK and abroad. You simply can’t have riders needing to be in two places on the same night like we’ve had before.
  7. Not really in Ipswich's hands, if he decides he’d like to race elsewhere there ain’t much you can do about it.
  8. Because he’s on an attractive average, because given a whole season he would almost certainly be better than he was for a few weeks this year. Because he is still a class act. Not sure if he is doing Sweden this year but if he is I don’t see him doing a full season here. As for Lynn my feeling is that we have moved on from Puk now and that the three heat leaders who finished the season for us will be ahead of Iversen in the queue for 2020.
  9. Not now the race night issue has been addressed. Doubling up is way down speedways list of problems.
  10. Need one or two more new faces than that, away form needs addressing. Don’t think you can start with Lewis in the top five unfortunately going by last season. The more I think about it having Lambert, Cook and Riss as a heat leader trio is a must. Choose the other four carefully and we could have a team who will challenge at the business end of the season.
  11. We had an absolute ball in the second division 2003-2010, I’m sure Poole and the majority of their fans will too.
  12. I’d have thought the biggest draw to Belle Vue for Wright would be the lack of travelling for home meetings.
  13. The problem is they lowered the standard by dropping down a League and made or more expensive for concessions, not clever. It’s like getting relegated in football and making it more expensive to go, don’t be surprised then by all the empty seats.
  14. Not an hour perhaps but ninety minutes is plenty long enough. An hour and three quarters absolute maximum which would be a half nine finish at Lynn. If there have to be longish gaps between any races then something needs to be going on to entertain people.
  15. It was an issue when race nights clashed between the leagues but now we have fixed race nights for the top league it’s really not.
  16. Nobody should be criticised for trying new things, they might not work but we won’t know until they've been trialled.
  17. Did I read on here that Somerset dropped down and then increased their admission prices?
  18. How about the purple helmet?
  19. Why did they stop going though? Probably best to ask that question before blaming people who used to go.
  20. If it is then fair enough but that’s one of several rule that needs binning. Or perhaps it should be a rule that if you ask you risk it being increased instead
  21. Don’t be daft, just amused at the suggestion of rule bending five minutes after you’ve changed leagues Anyway I wouldn’t call it a ‘demise’ at all, you are moving into a good, competitive league with more teams, more things to win and some great tracks. Don’t knock it til you’ve tried it.
