Coventry 2017
dontforgetthefueltapsbruv replied to Midland Red's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
havent even heard of that case! Quite ridiculous and it seems from subsequent replies that it was rightly shelved. The Coventry stadium is very different. A genuine local amenity with strong long term heritage and one that at least deserves consideration for funding. Ultimately the local 'powers that be' would have to decide if it is deserving enough for some discretional funding but either way it would not impact those other services. -

isnt the schools and health care arguement a bit if a red herring? Budgets for these are separate and ringfenced - any funds for a sporting stadium would have no impact on those areas. -
Would love to se Scot back as a Witch. Think the only way to have included him wouldve been to move up. Im glad overall a move up wasnt made despite the prospect of closer rivals if we did.

equally there will be speedway fans that dont have kids/elderly in care/drive a car - why should they pay for schools/homes/roads. Council spending is much more complex than 'do i get out what i put in' particularly when it comes to sport, heritage or culture. -

A Summary Of Problems

saw an article about this that stated the new phone would only be available in China - at least initially. -
whilst the opposition is modest it can only be a good thing that Cam is coming out on top at home during the winter. A relaxed and confident Cam will do a great job for us.. . 👍

are you saying the Boro fans dab and are dozy?? 😜😜 -
restriction of no more than 2 events in any 8 day rolling period as well I believe. we did indeed host a few meetings.Agree that time to the curfew should not be an issue 9 yimes out of 10. No reason why a meeting starting at 7.45 shouldnt be complete by 9.15/9.30 allowing time for 6 MDL heats. The other general logistics (and costs) of running a team are the unknown for me.

Ipswich 1)Danny - so much more than just a great number 1. Super professional in his set up and approach. Great captain and role model too. Expect him to push towards a 10 pt ave. 2) Cam - has been a bit of an enigma. Oodles of talent but plagued by his wrist injuries. Needs to concentrate on his preparation and mental outlook. Could add 2+ to his average if things go well but expect a point increase at worst. 3) Rory - every Witches fan is dreaming of Rory pushing Danny for the No1 spot. Probably not realistic given what he has been through but who knows. Would be disappointed with anything less than a point increase. 4) Kyle - similar to Cam re injuries hampering his progress so another that could add 2 but expect no less than 1 point increase. 5)Nico - biggest issue for him is also preparation. Prone to the odd lapse that should be within his control. 100% trier and gets you on the edge of your seat. Fans favourite and easy to see why. Average wise dont expect anymore that half a point increase. 6)Danyon - whole hearted racer who lifted the atmosphere when introduced last year. Level headed and seems to want to listen and learn from those around him. Would be disappointed if he didnt average 4 by the end of the year. 7)Connor - I have limited knowledge of him but didnt look out if his depth in his outing last year. Those with much greater knowledge than me of the NL riders seem to rate him ahead of Danyon though which hopefully is a good sign for us. Nasty injury ended his season so just how complete his recovery has been could determine his progress. Anything over his 2 point starting ave would be a success IMO but he could spring a big surprise. Optimistic that we will be right up there challenging but never take anything for granted - we have flattered to deceive all too often!

Air Fences Lifting
dontforgetthefueltapsbruv replied to martinmauger's topic in Speedway News and Discussions
yes - it was a sickener to see.He hit past where the airfence would be though and because it was effectively on the straight rather than the force dislodging the panels it was absorbed in a straight line down the following ones meaning it stayed put causing the damage. -

That news must put a smile on the faces of all pussycat fans. Be interesting to know if the full asset base is included in the deal...... -
Peterborough Panthers 2017
dontforgetthefueltapsbruv replied to Flappy's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
thats the same for every side - even favourites Sheffield will do nothing of note unless 2-3 kick on. Pboro have the same chance as all teams to successful and a side that should entertain in trying to do it even if they dont ultimately succeed. -

devils advocate would say post 1990 doesnt represent when the sport was thriving.... Perhaps the two are linked....
