  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. There are Glasgow threads to have your childish pops at us, or just continue as you do and have your usual bile in any thread.
  5. Saturday has dampened most supporters appetite on attending, whenever we are lucky enough to actually have a meeting on a Saturday that is. As has been said Friday would have been a better option but we lost that right when we sold out to Edinburgh. This season has been the worst I can remember for blank weekend's , Saturday nights are having a negative impact because of this, all we ask is regular meetings and Sunday is when this was happening.
  6. Not a lot happening in re-arranging fixtures, for a team in pole position for a play off place this is strange to say the least. If it was me I would be bombarding these teams with dates to get them up. then you have covered your arse with the BSPA when these dates are still outstanding it is also looking increasingly likely that we are going to struggle with our riders doubling up/down as the season moves forward, with us being able to use our stadium whenever we need surely dates to re-schedule should in theory be easier.
  7. All went quiet on that one for some reason , was it not a few weeks ago they announced we were getting covers in a few weeks funnily enough.
  8. He is 100% correct though our fixture planning has been shocking. Whilst rain offs are inevitable We have also had blank weekends for no reason. Think some are just getting fed up with the complete lack of continuity.
  9. I'm completely losing interest in Speedway football season next week and my season ticket in place. Think I will be selective in what meetings I go to. As has been pointed out it has been sunny most off the day and warm which makes the early call off very premature.
  10. Our home meetings are that far apart it is now laughable. Our owners have no chance of building momentum on crowd levels with the lack of meetings. If as has been muted teams refusing to come on dates offered simple solution if they refuse 3 dates points awarded, might not do much for the paying public but it would sure as hell put a stop to this practice gathering anymore pace. What happened to the covers we were getting ?.
  11. To be honest McGregor is notorious at trying to ruin meetings with continually pulling starts back. You can hear the moans of discontent at Ashfield when you realise that he is officiating . always has and always will strive to be the centre of attraction rather than let a meeting flow , especially one that sounds as if it was a good one like tonight.
  12. Looks like a mini collapse after being 10 points up disappointing to get only 1 point but it is another away point on the board. Congrats to Worky on a tremendous fight back, and by the sound off it they deserved the win in the end.
  13. I'm just surprised the Witches have stuck with him , gates and he is ok if he doesn't then you can forget it.
  14. See another team getting shot of Sedgmen the latest being Rye House , nice to see the Witches showing some loyalty to him he must be feeling pretty down as the Edinburgh mob keep telling us he needs molly coddled to get the best out him. Looks like the Witches are stuck with the underperformer for the duration , on the plus side he will be on a nice average for Scotland's second team next season.
  15. Mitchell Davey going back to the Dale Devils. Not that I support them just the logical choice.
  16. Get the feeling special agent Sedgmen is going to be out of work soon before his average becomes attractive to somebody.
  17. See Sedgmen helping his no1 team out in heat 14. Good result for the monarchs helping us to keep top spot.
  18. In terms of priority Dan - BV have priority as he is there asset. Jack - Glasgow have priority as he is there asset. As you say with all three teams at the top of there respective leagues it may prove difficult fixture planning later in the season.
  19. To be fair I liked Ben at Glasgow and was pretty vocal in wanting him to stay, but behind the scenes Ben let himself down badly at Glasgow he probably knows this himself. But based purely on track I would have Ben in my team any day always guaranteed to entertain.
  20. Surely it can only be a matter of time before enough is enough and a total vote of no confidence in the clowns that run our sport is taken. This is another in a long line of decisions that they seem to put out to p*ss as many fans off as possible, at this rate there will soon be no fans left to p*ss off what will they do then, to be honest I just wish the whole lot off them would just do one and let someone who know's what there are doing give it a go.
  21. Rode for us in 2014 on what can only be described as a flymo and dropped more than 2 points on his starting average. Move forward to 2015 he re-joins his parent club on a 6.19 average after poodling around at the back for most off the season, not trying a leg and an absolute turnaround occurs and he adds the 2 points he dropped back on to his average. He well and truly shafted Glasgow that season for his own gain
  22. You are kidding about this right, he should never get a team place in this country again for his antics.
