  1. there isnt such a thing as meaniless fixtures there all there for to entertain the fans regardless of cup ties league or friendlys i go to be entertained not to see if they get through to the next round
  2. would love to see good crowd back at workintgton great track for speedway laura deserves some return just need a different atitude from all fans and promotion need to gel
  3. well dont know what meetings you went to maybe meet the rider meetings in the bar i admit there were some really poor crowds but there was never any meetings less than 300
  4. ive heard all this crap about tourists in the lake district but how many are going to travel from the tourist areas while on holiday on our roads to workington also our promotion last year wouldnt speak to fans so how are they gonna get visitors to travel from a hour or so away to watch speedway with absolutly zero promoting
  5. workingtons biggest problem over the last few years is the hositile atitude between fans and promotion cumbrians take offense atbeing treated with no respect the fans and promotion need to work together
  6. glasgow were granted a change of race night last season so they should be last on the list to change again never mind being so close to edinbrugh who allready run fridays but in comets corner its been proved saturday is the most popular with fans at least it wasyears back maybe a switch to friday would work but they were talking wednesdays which would have been suicide for the club
  7. were never gonna run a squd system in uk there just isnt the money to keep riders on the books and not give them rides maybe the guest system needs a re look instead of matching averages then slightly reduce the average for a incoming guest and only allow a guest for the same rider for a set amount of time so if a rider is out longer than a few meetings its in the clubs interests to sign a rider to replace the injured rider
  8. whilst i do agree to a point theres always the refs who puul hts back when someone in crowd waves a program not all re runs should be pulled back
  9. to be honest a few clubs have found out this past season fans have had enough of the clubs treating them with no respect at all
  10. and he did 1 thing holder with held his services muliply times unpunished ????
  11. ive just read the statement and even though im led to believe ged rathbone has done some things that i dont regard as fair and in the fair play of the sport im happy that it looks like hes not going to be punished any more and at least 1 other will be at least getting a slap on the wrist but i still cant see how holder has got away with it all he is just as guilty as ged if not more
  12. riders managers promotors refs track staff who cares what position they hold they should all know and follow the same rule book the problem in speedway is rules are not always written so all can understand them
  13. there's others aswell never mind holder sitting pritty while ged gets all the sanctions
  14. right oh just like all riders missing meetings were treated the same in 2017
  15. i certanly wouldnt put money on knowing anything pre season in speedway
  16. i neversaid he was top of his game i said you would think thats what people would be shouting for most people judge speedway riders from past results not current form id say about 70% or more speeday fans wouldnt recognise a improving rider if they watched them 3 times a week compared to 1 thats been on top and on there way down
  17. youd think bomber would be the one a lot would be shouting for but heard his name linked to glasgee
  18. why cant craig sign for another team in championship ?
  19. is it true that steve whitehead hired a hypnotist to stop all that were there last night spilling the beans on what was said suerly everyones not still hungover or was the do the same as the rest of the info recently nothing at all did any of the promotion turn up ?
  20. on what grounds as with all rules and regs in speedway its unclear dont they have to gain 7pt average to stay ? ive heard they just have to improve by certain amount but as said its unclear wonder if any of the promotion might be interested in replying
  21. id say only rider thats looked interested all year and looks like hed like to be back is ty proctor couple of other riders that are to be considored but not sure they will be back for 1 reason or another
  22. possibly the riders doubling up and riding almost every night are actually making good money compared to a few years back which as most will kinow the more you earn the more you get use to and in turn want to earn more
  23. my personal view on race nights is leave it to the clubs to run a night that suits there own area/suportors as for rule changes riders must compleate 3 programed rides not allowing a non programed ride to count as 1 of there 3 minimum that way a weaker rider wont get stuck in a race he has no chance of scoring a point aslong as all 4 riders finish the race it will also stop averge manipulation both ways higher or lower than it should be
  24. if the promotion have any ideas about running next year they really do need to open up and try and build bridges with the fans they have been ignoring for last 3 to 4 months or so absolutly no feedback or info from them for months now
