? THE numbers have been poor this year ..surely you must have been reading rosco asking why the fans are not supporting a winning side etc and asking people to turn up .

We were not even on a winning run when Doyle was missing the home matches ..the crowds for the wolves and Belle vue matches were way down on what you would expect .rosco confirmed that at the time .

The question of can we pay for them is quite clearly another matter and in most cases we can't ...but to say they don't bring in better crowds is madness ..I am sure the main reason for fixed nights is to stop fixtures clashes between the leagues meaning that there is no clashes for the double up riders so teams can track there normal 1 to 7 's .if also brings some better riders back then all the better .

If fixed nights is done with only the premiership riding on thou's night it serves loads more than one purpose ..never understood this this thing that top stars don't bring in bigger crowds .. in football .if Messi plays at Swindon town next week the crowd would much bigger even if he much better than the rest, and you could used that example in nearly every sport . But somehow in speedway it's different ? I don't think so .

Be serious ? how about you start being that ...on the start of our run we beat the likes of Belle Vue Wolves etc with Doyle and Morris etc missing even thou we were massive underdogs with the bookmakers to do so. in fact v Belle vue Swindon were +16 on the hc to win ...don't start going on about riders missing guests and rr as Swindon have had as many as the next club . Your comment is even more odd as Swindon when they so say fell apart last night were full of these guests and rr that in your opinion are so easy to beat .

Can't believe you put in a probably lol

cheers good info .

? Most clubs are having 1 home meeting every 3 weeks so having one every two weeks will be much better .

it won't.see you next season

Yea of course ..little point in spoiling a match for The fans with so little on it. I would happy for Fred to still ride if he was 10 mins late .Who wants to win matches in that manner because someone has been killed in a road accident.

Maybe he forgot lol

Tricky to predict the robins. thou they are on a winning run they have look a bit tired and beatable of late .Hope we can carry on useing davey at 7 as at least he looks like he can bit up the odd vital point .

Just think the match up v Belle Vue is a good one for us .I still feel Poole can hurt us if they click .When it comes to the crunch I don't think the management will pick Belle vue thou .

in fairness thou I doubt we fear rye house I think we should pick bv over Rye or Poole

What would you say his strong point is ? Lol.answers on a postage stamp

Amazed wolves agreed to the match seeing if knew if 3 or 4 riders were going to get injured that would be in trouble for the second match ...Also amazed that the track was deep at the start when you have 30 heats to run

Why is it Chapman fault that 3 riders got hurt and could not ride in the second match ..ive seen loads of teams have rr and run double headers ..just back luck .any team that have a double header and have 3 riders pulled out are going to be trouble .Not sure I get the link to why Holder and Batchelor would be laughing unless it's out of spite .

Why were they unlucky ..swindon had loads of bad luck and never put Doyle in 15 and still won

fair comment I never knew that to be honest .

Why ? HE had got that riding in the UK and hes hardly been setting the world on fire elsewhere, a fact born out by no other club wanting him included his parent club who were more than willing to sell him ..Now somehow because he's doing well it's was a false average, but I don't remember anyone saying that before hand .I also don't see why kasper should not be allowed to go go back on his old average as it's not so long ago he got it .every rider who rode here before should keep there old average and then it's up to clubs to build there teams using it rather than bring in a complex system that is open to cheating and self interest.

Holder never turned up for his hearing so it's no wonder he got the ban that he did ..not sure why hes going to appeal if he has such a low opinion of UK speedway .

Only 4 riders missing Bo..that's good these days lol .see you thursday ?

Lot of lions fans not happy with Jim and are waiting for him outside ..i think it's a lynch mob

He puts a end to Poole cheating for that alone he deserves praise .He also got rid of Gordon and Morton who were on the brink of closing Belle Vue down and also dealt with Batch and Holder .He done some bad things but overall I don't think he's not been as bad as people make out .

Ward ,Holder Woffy and Batch are another set of people with short term memory loss .Without UK speedway they never would have never made it in speedway in the first place ,a fact forgotten when they become big time and slag it off .Ward is even worst seeing the amount of people in the uk who put there hands into there pockets to help him out in his hour of need .
