  1. Absolutely, should be the same for bumps and holes which the home team could know how to avoid to their advantage. Bumps and holes should be mandatorily eradicated for the next meeting or points docked /awarded.
  2. I’ve never liked tracks with a dominant inside line, you need a good one round the boards for good racing IMO. Not the worst telly match ever but didn’t live up to expectations unfortunately.
  3. Probably true if they end up facing you lot in the final but they have failed to beat both Belle Vue and Lynn at home this year and would probably have to get past one of those so certainly no foregone conclusion. Still very open.
  4. Surprised Poole aren’t more at home on it The Pirates look crud tonight.
  5. Massive risk going with R/R across thirty heats. Can’t afford any bad fortune!
  6. Awful news. Having recently become a father myself for the first time this kind of tragic event really resonates, my sympathy and best wishes go to Niklas and his fiancé.
  7. That could work. Better to have people who only want to see the first meeting paying a net £18 than staying at home because they don’t want to spend £27.
  8. You can pay to get into the second meeting only but not the first. How would they police it ie make sure people leave after fifteen heats? Not practically possible.
  9. I’ve said all along that the club were caught with their pants down when it was voted Wednesdays and not Thursdays, the team was sorted with MPT on standby and no realistic alternative for Iversen. IMO we would be bottom of the league with no Danish riders whereas we are in with a shout of top four with them. That’s not to say that the season hasn’t been a complete mess because it has. Riders obviously not keen to do too many Mondays with all the travelling that involved and agreements reached with Danish clubs seem not to have been honoured. All a bit shambolic but I wonder how appeased people would be if Lynn won the play Offs?
  10. It’s one in the eye for people who said he hasn’t anything about him.....while one swallow doesn’t make a summer scoring double figures away at arguably the hardest away track is an excellent performance.
  11. Plus with the uncertainty over fixtures, when they’ll be run, if at all, which riders will be missing etc etc. Just far too risky.
  12. I don’t understand why anyone would by a season ticket nowadays.
  13. 13 points for Kasper at Edinburgh tonight, good lad.
  14. I expect there will be a press release on Tuesday as there normally is. Sports clubs shouldn't have to comment on speculation every time some crops up, football clubs don't and nor should speedway promotions.
  15. We've had all this 'in the squad' stuff for Denmark already this season and it amounted to nothing....take away the speculation and the only actual information we have is that Iversen and Jorgensen wont be missing any more scheduled fixtures (not sure about MPT off the top of my head) and that's what we have to go by until anything different is said. If riders are missing I'll be at the front of the queue to have a moan.
  16. Belle Vue's results this week show that you never know but I'd expect Poole to comfortably cover for their missing men and win the meeting by enough to deny Swindon a point.
  17. Why worry? There are a million and one more important things in life than his witterings. Well done to Belle Vue for pulling their fingers out when it really matters.
  18. I think £25 would be decent value IF everything goes smoothly and we get thirty heats. Even £27 isn't too bad if the racing is reasonably good. However if they are issues and the second match gets cut short it's not.
  19. I think the assumption is that it will be 25 heats and not thirty. Out of interest what price do people think this should be? I'd have thought £25 would be about right.
  20. Purely from an entertainment viewpoint Aces v Rebels would be the perfect final.
