  1. Why would Kemp even cobsider Sheffield given how he was treated this season???
  2. I had to read that twice... Originally I thought you had put that you went floppy in a Johnny
  3. It's incredible how so many riders keep going with some horrendous injuries. Many 'ordinary' people wouldn't even get out of bed feeling the way these riders must do let alone ride a speedway bike
  4. Probably not but you have to start the winter break conversation somewhere
  5. We all hope the money is decent although perhaps if it isnt quite what everyone would hope for at least having a highlights package on free to ait increases the chances of some proper league sponsorship to top it up
  6. It only says about 18 meetings from the domestic Premiership league in the SGB website release I read. That's not to say it wont be different when it comes to it
  7. I'm glad he didn't- he will fit much better as a Witch on the lower figure
  8. He could continue in a similar way to Kildeman who also looked little more than a solid 2nd tier rider only a couple of seasons before he broke into the world scene
  9. I agree with both to an extent No doubt he is the most improved rider in 2019 and has been sensational. Has shown he has the talent in the past but has added consistency Whether that upward curve can be maintained or indeed if he can even maintain his new average is the issue. It does make him a greater risk for whichever team he signs for
  10. I fully agree with this. Yes there has been the usual mud slinging from various quarters but this is the cold reality once the 'banter' stops For ANY club to run at ANY level requires a huge amount of goodwill and sponsorship right from ground level fans to the big corporate main sponsors There is no club in the land that could've withstood the situation Poole found themselves in. It certainly isnt about poor promotion. Whatever faults Matt Ford has can be debated but a lack of promotion and savvy isnt one of them I dont buy the 'surely he can swallow one season' position - let it go on and the next season isnt the problem it is the whole existence of a club at risk. For that if the switch stabiliises then a switch is right That is pretty much the situation Ipswich found themselves in and moving to the Championship was exactly the correct choice at that time The fact that despite better than average attendances and an enviable sponsorship position still meant that a move back to the top level wasnt a no brainer says it all about just what it takes to run at the highest level Even with what has to be considered a very successful year at Foxhall I dont imagine Chris is sitting at home in a bath of £50 notes!
  11. Apologies Steve - didn't realise it was a tenner today
  12. How do you work out that you will get 30 heats? You will get the 15 for that match meaning £28 (assuming no season on season increase) for 17 heats - 2 of which (at least) will have been pointless
  13. £10 off after 2 shambolic heats is a kick in the teeth Those 2 heats have cost the poor sods that turned up £8!!
  14. You are a fool I have no need to dream it - I've seen it each week with my own eyes and have no reason to lie or exaggerate
  15. Yes IMO Ipswich have seen an increase. My estimate would be up by around 250 on average to somewhere around 1500 for a normal meeting The play off attendances were in the region of 3 and 4000
  16. The trouble is when promoters and fans call for this it's only when they are on top. When they are 5th and 6th they dont sing the same tune I can see the merits of it but would say that any club can keep the same 7 that ended the season so long as it's the same 7 that started it When a team has made 2 3 or 4 changes using what are easily manipulated regulations where you can end up over the points limit without even riding a meeting then it cant be right (this is a generic point and not aimed at Swindon 2019 specifically)
  17. Congratulations to Swindon- a fine side head and shoulders above the rest of the league in the end
