  1. So it's KK, but at least that's better than Watt or Batchelor. Must be thankful for small mercies. I hope he is on a 'paid for points earned' contract and not just for turning up, also that if he starts his games of tootling around at the back for more than one match he is packed off earlier than he was last time. To be fair it's the same at Peterborough, although they've gone to the expense of having proper little machines that punch a hole in the ticket.
  2. I don't believe the promotion would do that to us..... would they? Hopefully it will be either Larsen or Zengota. Yes, I have and I've got mixed feelings about the £3 increase but it's not bothering me enough to stop me from going. It's easy enough to just save a few pounds each week during the Winter months when there is no Speedway at all and then use it when the season starts. I'm not keen on the cost of my Virgin Media package going up by £4 in February either but these things happen. No they damn well don't! Please ignore this post Neil and Mick because he's just another one who wouldn't be there having to suffer.
  3. You've previously said you only went twice this season anyway so reducing that to zero next year won't make a great deal of difference.
  4. lol. I'm only joking as I'm in very good health apart from the usual aches and pains that come with old age, but one never knows when one is going to pop off so am I being too presumptuous thinking of a season ticket? Probably getting Lucy trained in the art of limbo dancing will be the best option.
  5. Where is this £16 coming from as I thought admission had been dropped from £18 to £17? I don't deserve any. I know my place. I'm considering a season ticket too if it's true that I won't be able to get in through the gate next season. With a seat, bag and dog in tow it's going to be hard getting through turnstiles unless I can teach Lucy to do the limbo underneath. The only doubt in my mind is will I last for the whole season to get my money's worth? Decisions, decisions.
  6. Well, it will affect me but I'm not complaining as it makes more sense to give a discount to students rather than OAP's who on the whole don't do too badly these days. £3 a week extra is not a lot to find. (I can save that for Speedway by doing the 'ASDA Price Guarantee' after my weekly shop.) However, I just hope the promoters will be a bit more understanding to those who don't want to also buy a programme that's gone up in price and list the teams in the proper order rather than alphabetical. Storm admission increased is a bit of a worry though as that will hardly encourage more fans to attend.
  7. lol. Well spotted Neil. I would think he's pretty unemployable anyway as the promoters have more sense thank goodness. As desperate as Leicester are I shouldn't think even they would bother in view of how he messed them around last time.
  8. Not going to be next season though is it and from 2017 onwards who knows whether there will even be a track for Coventry to ride on so Leicester will be okay to take over Friday's. Mind you I should think David is thoroughly cheesed off with speedway at the moment what with all the vandalism problems and trying to get a team together so we don't know what the future holds for Beaumont Park either. Pretty depressing all round.
  9. Can we NOT please!! It's okay for you and the two people who liked your post as you won't be there watching him every week. I will though and the thought of having KK back again is making me feel depressed. That goes for Davey Watt, Lewis Bridger, Troy Batchelor and Kenneth Bjerre as well but I suppose that doesn't leave many other options.
  10. Ah yes thank you. I see the date at the bottom now. I just presumed as it was posted today it was something new.
  11. I didn't think there was anyone around as good as the Thompson Twins...until I saw Harry at Peterborough for the first time. Great little rider.
  12. You don't get to be at the top of the league for most of the season and then finish in 2nd place by having 'average riders.' I think we'd have done very well against Poole if Garrity and Kylmakorpi hadn't got injured. Just bad luck it happened at the crucial part of the season. Depends who the 'Another' is.
  13. Yes.....please sign him Wolves otherwise I'm going to be worried Mick and Neil might have the mad idea to do it.
  14. Me too. Always liked Simon and it would make up for the disappointment of not having Joonas in the team next season.
  15. Probably the best idea but he wouldn't want to lose face by doing that so can't see it happening.
  16. Gawd! Reading these confusing posts it's no wonder that I can never understand the rules in Speedway and gave up trying to work them out years ago.
  17. Are you trying to wind me up? I used to like your posts. Batchelor or Kasprzak ~ what a great choice. Hope it's neither and I'd also include Davey Watt. No thanks to any of them. I'm getting worried now but not as worried as I would be if I was a supporter of my local team.
  18. Is he going spare? I didn't realise. Perhaps a good prospect for Coventry then as he rode really well the last time he was there.
  19. You could save a bob or two by not buying any raffle tickets, taking a flask of coffee and printing your own programme. Of course there is still admission and fuel to find but you could perhaps get it down to £50? Still a lot of money to find though if it's not a good meeting and you don't think you've had value for money.
  20. I don't think you are the only one somehow ~ I can immediately think of someone else. I do find it rather weird though not being keen on him as he has ridden well for Coventry over many years and is a rider that always gives 100%. Edited because I messed the quote up and I like perfection.
  21. Blimey! I was being sarcastic but I wasn't that far out. Good rider that KK ~ I hope Wolves sign him as I know stevebrum thinks he's great.
