What average does Nagel come in on?

It’s funny you didn’t hear the Poole fans crying about disgraceful refereeing after Heat 15 last week at Berwick when they got a flyer and cleared off in the distance.

He did at Berwick though but that still wasn’t good enough for you? That’s what I can’t understand? Also his average is below 8 and will come down again as his Oxford scores which counted towards his average are finally coming off. I’m just quite not sure what you expect from him? Kerr and Rowe are at a very similar level (imo Rowe is better) but one is on a falsely low average to start the season. Would do Kerr the world of good to be at 3/4 in a stronger pairing like he did at Oxford two seasons ago. I just find it fascinating that you are basically blaming him for losing at Berwick when Zach, Tobias and Starke all were shocking in comparison to Kerr. You just seem adamant not to give the guy a chance because you decided it was a bad signing now you must push that agenda on.

Hahahhahahahahhaa you must be being sarcastic or a parody, this is the kind of thing that’s laughable. Having an agenda against Lewi Kerr of all people I find hilarious.

He’ll have something to say about him losing his maximum in Heat 12, quite frankly it’s just not good enough I would imagine.

Clown……. Your agenda against him is laughable. On a more positive note, great to see Sam Hagon showing what he can do, track was the best it’s been all season and the racing was good as a result. We nearly threw it all away late on and the ref had an absolute shocker but glad to see us on the right side of a close meeting for a change.

Clueless

They’ll probably win tonight and the opinions will be: Lewis Kerr is the worst signing we’ve ever made and the sky is falling in because we aren’t as good as last season. Yous should try a season as a Berwick or Plymouth fan.

But you call him worse than you know what in every post, maybe try backing him for a change instead of wanting him binned off after every meeting. Maybe he is performing under par but considering the season he had last year with constant injuries I wouldn’t have expected him to come out flying and I think your expectations are probably too high for him these days a good night for him is double figures but 7-8 will probably be the norm once he gets up to speed, Rowe will be your second HL by seasons end with Kerr and Cook behind would be my prediction.

Can’t help himself, always with his anti Berwick agenda, he’ll be devastated Dick didn’t make the mistake though.

It certainly doesn’t seem that way.

You’re like a dog with a bone, it’s exasperating. You won’t be pleased until the sport is in tatters and you can say “I told you so”

I think what he’s trying to say is there’s two other people who scored 1 point between them who the finger should be pointed at first. Everyone knows what Paco is by now and as an outsider looking in I’d not have expected him to score much more, yes a poor heat 14 but when you look at his performances compared to Thomsens it’s night and day, he’d be the first on to go if they could find a decent replacement imo. I like that the resist to sarcasm lasted about a paragraph but it is good to see you championing Leon Flint for a change.

You always pay more for a live event rather than a stream/pay per view event, that’s not unique to speedway just look at streaming services/pay per view events like boxing etc I much prefer going live as I’m sure most speedway fans do, Redcar streamed tonight but I still went to the live event. I absolutely think streaming brings in extra revenue, people who maybe can’t afford to attend on the day but can afford to pay £10-£15 for a stream brings in extra revenue, people who maybe can’t attend due to work or otherwise may also purchase. I can only speak from what I see week in and week out at Berwick but I certainly haven’t noticed a drop off in attendances since they started streaming a couple of seasons ago.

I wouldn’t call myself an “expert” but I think there’s a few big hurdles they’d have to overcome, maybe this is possible but maybe not, a few I can think of: 1) I’m assuming you’d want the 15 teams (Assuming Oxford would go back to one team) to all be relatively competitive with each other, you don’t want the current Ipswich team going up against the current Berwick team for instance but unfortunately I think those two teams probably operate with vastly different budgets and I can’t imagine the tv money is earth shattering as in some sports therefore what is the basis of team building? Are Ipswich still signing Emil and Doyley while Berwick are signing Cook and Kemp to spearhead? 2) As you say, riders double up so if the standard it to be some sort of Premiership/Championship level riders, where are they all coming from? It seems difficult as it is to attract riders who are committed in Poland, Sweden etc as it is, how do we overcome this? 3) Race nights, some teams are unable to race on a Monday or Thursday evening as the Premiership does now to enable them to sign riders committed abroad so how do you get round that? Berwick are only allowed by the council to do Saturdays and occasional Wednesdays, Workington have no floodlights currently so can only do weekends? Do we move off set race nights and exclude certain riders from this country or do we exclude teams who can’t conform to the schedule? I’m sure theres plenty more questions and hurdles I haven’t even considered yet but those are just a few off the top of my head. I imagine this has been discussed at length on this forum before but to say “why on earth don’t they do this” like it’s some magical easy fix for speedway in this country is quite frankly absurd. You can call me anti one league or whatever and I’m all for trying to boost the sports profile etc in Britain to restore it to its previous glory but it’s nowhere near as easy as you seem to think.
