  1. This maybe a novelty but I think for the first time I agree with something you have said. But don't get carried away it won't last.
  2. The injured rider is always the priority , whilst nobody is happy with the wait last night I am sure 99% were fully understanding of the situation. Getting NHS cover in Possil on a Saturday night was never going to be plain sailing, and I don't even know if this was a consideration when changing race day. But it is what it is this happens in speedway but thankfully not very often just glad to hear Jack is ok.
  3. Spoon burners only do one sporting event a day. Suppose it wasn't giro week right enough and a Leith postcode rules out a crisis loan.
  4. No sour grapes Sheffield are the form team and deserve any success they get . it is using guests from your main contenders that make the sport look amateurish , as I say no other sport would do this but it is what it is for now. As for the 20th don't think we will get close this time but you never know.
  5. The Lawson guesting for the Tigers of Sheffield has been discussed because it directly involves our club and will have an impact on us as a club , but it is the sport in general that appears to be going down the pan with supporters getting fed up with mickey mouse rules. In what other sport would this scenario crop up none is the answer but just to reply to some of your points raised. Taking the Biscuit / Small Narrow minded - You should start looking a little closer to home before accusing anyone else of this. And in case you hadn't noticed a title quest is something we all set out to win at the beginning we are passing comment on a forum that we feel shouldn't have happened. Earning Potential - Fully understand this but a line must be drawn between money and doing what is right for HIS club , to be honest it is not as if Richard is short of meeting's. Deliberately ask a rider to underperform - Nobody mentioned or even considered this bar you again look a little closer to home with that one. And finally yes we are aware of the play off criteria but your pompous attitude shines through yet again. So on reflection it is the Sport and the silly rules that is the issue and we have highlighted this as another example of how stupid it is. Not Sheffield's fault they are doing what is right for them it is the integrity of this sport which is fast going down the tubes with the guest rules . R/R , D/up , D/down that gets sillier every season. Anyway divert the 20 boxes somewhere not far from us I am sure they will need them before us.
  6. Yep he certainly has and now his performances and scoring will be scrutinised. He has probably helped another team finish above the team that pays his wages.
  7. I am sure he does certainly helped move Sheffield to title favourites. I have a feeling you may see more of him next season.
  8. Just highlights how stupid this sport can be, no point in signing riders just pick whoever you want. What this can of worms opens is if Richard doesn't perform when his own team visit Redcar I am sure assumptions will be made. Think most fan's are just getting fed up with the whole scenario. In what other sport can your asset ride for your main rival and help them pull even further clear from his own team, it is just beyond farcical now.
  9. I will be at both hopefully a good day in the pipeline, demolish popcorn teeth and his spoon burners in the afternoon then a slightly easier task in the evening.
  10. I see Richard riding for one of our biggest rivals tonight. only in this sport can your No 1 ride for your rivals for the title absolutely crazy.
  11. It is probably more money the sport needs, the ludicrous rules that are in place is more damaging D/Up D/Down Tac Rides etc etc the list is endless.
  12. Without the money that our owners paid to purchase Glasgow Speedway ultimately in all likelihood saved the club from your Wikipedia list. Then we would have no club to support, so what would you rather have happened. No we don't want your money in case your money ruins the sport we want to scrape by and go to the wall in a season or two, really are you for real. And it isn't money that is ruining the sport far from it.
  13. So going by your last sentence Ged has E-mailed the remainder of the league to tell them all the brilliant deal he got. After all it would be the only way the remainder of the league would know this brilliant deal. Or maybe you are just making things up,now who would have thought that.
  14. In an ideal world the fine will probably be in excess of the bung.
  15. Fair point and another blank calendar looms this week.
  16. Yep Sheffield seem to be going nicely and have quietly gone about there business.
  17. The same ones that your lot scraped a lucky draw at the dump and were resoundly pumped at the Stade de Peugeot
  18. Plenty meetings in hand though mostly at home so our small dip will just be temporary and we shall be rightfully restored at the summit soon enough.
  19. Feel your pain and appears you and any other travelling fans were let down with an inept away day, bar a couple of riders the rest are going through a dip it appears,
  20. We are hitting a bit off form coming to the crucial part of the season , unfortunately it is bad form on our part, after last weeks capitulation at Worky another poor performance follows suit. Witches bounce back well and it appears we were well beaten , thank Christ for Richie or it would have been even more embarrassing well done to Ipswich. The lack of home fixtures is not helping our cause at the minute entering the crucial part of the season.
  21. On crowd levels they are working but in terms of consistency of meetings they aren't and I know we have had rain offs but it will be a full calendar month between home meetings by the time we meet Edinburgh. When we raced on a Sunday there was very little in the way of blank weekends I am sure you will agree so from that perspective Saturday nights is not working as we all would have hoped. It has to be looked at for next season if we are going to continue with a Saturday as this seasons scenario is not an option, what is the point of trying to introduce new fan's if there is hardly a meeting on. But totally agree on the riders doubling up scenario this appears to be the main issue and it is ruining the sport for the fan. Spot on it is the same in all walks of life people just find something else to do if there preferred option is not on, then they like the other option and that is another potential fan lost, as I have said our fixture planning has been shocking with too many blank weekends.
  22. I don't get offended just your usual bile that you think is amusing, on the other hand I could get offended by an educated person having a debate on something that I actually give a f*ck about. But offended by you don't flatter yourself.
