good luck to georgie and thank you for his efforts but in all honesty have not seen any significant improvement from what he was last season.

Sheffield v Lakeside SGBCL 26/07/2018 @ 19.30
Moranboys replied to Blackadder's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
no, i wouldn't like to see the club run a series of potentially loss-making meetings and the fixture situation is not the clubs fault but the sooner the people that run the sport realise that they are killing it ,the better.as i mentioned before, continuity is what is needed, no as you said not particularly sheffield but most clubs, look at workington as an example.speedway is a sport where it has got to make the most of the weather as it is very weather orientated and to have long breaks for a lot of clubs given the weather has to be financial suicide even though as you pointed out they will still have the same amount of fixtures.when you also are trying your utmost to introduce new people to the sport and they take to it the first time they attend it is hard to explain that it might be another three weeks before they see another fixture and in that period their enthusiasm could well wane.this fixture situation needs to be resolved one way or another or i do genuinely fear for the promoters. -
Sheffield v Lakeside SGBCL 26/07/2018 @ 19.30
Moranboys replied to Blackadder's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
there is no way that ever happens in speedway anyway.no club ever wins everything year in year out and it is very special when your club is doing well following numerous years without winning much.the problem is, if your team isn't winning anything then certain supporters enthusiasm starts to wain.i never mentioned that i wanted to see sheffield hammer teams week in week out, yes ,that would truly be not a good thing and i am all for close meetings with close racing, but given the nature of results, even losing a few meetings especially at home, means that it makes it v.difficult to even make the play offs.last season was fantastic if you were a sheffield supporter both home and away but we were never going to repeat that feat this season. -

Moranboys replied to Blackadder's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
why would it be "boring" winning the league title again.so you found winning the pairs meeting again for the second year "boring".myself and my son were certainly not stood at the oak tree shouting for the other teams because we thought that it would be boring for the tigers to win it again.the best thing for you then would be for you to be a neutral and not support one particular team. -

only because we have been fortunate not to have too many rain offs.but season over by 23rd august not taking in the c.r.f is not acceptable. -

for me, last nights meeting summed up quite easily.lakeside riders attacked the track and conditions and apart from kyle and charles,we didn't and that was the difference.end of. -

Moranboys replied to Blackadder's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
so as city rebel has pointed out,one meeting at lakeside.you think thats acceptable then in a sport that is obviously struggling for new support.we faced the team second in the table and the crowd wasn't particularly that good.continuity is what is needed or indeed the sport will continue to struggle. -
Chanpionship Pairs Somerset Friday 20th
Moranboys replied to allthegearbutnaeidea's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
just back from a great weekend of speedway with the highlight being our pairs win.charles and kyle were really up for it and the fact that not a last place was posted by our dynamic duo just goes to show the understanding that these boys have racing as a pair.superb night and well done.utt -
Chanpionship Pairs Somerset Friday 20th

lot worrying if you go on the met office forecast.heavy rain from 8 onwards.going to set off in an hour from chesterfield but have my doubts. -
Chanpionship Pairs Somerset Friday 20th
Moranboys replied to allthegearbutnaeidea's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
there might not be anyone winning yet, have you seen the weather forecast for that part of the country on friday! -
well done the lads on what is usually a bit of a tricky track.could have been more if charles didn't have a very rare off night.nice to see kyle back and the injury looks as though its holding up well.another great score for broc on a track he has never seen, what a find he is turning out to be.well done todd,another solid contribution also the same for james and a much improved away performance from georgie.well done the tigers.congrats to lakeside and the 2 top guns and looks like they are in with a shout for the title.

i do understand you to a point but surely putting on junior individual meetings is pretty much financial disaster.i am a season ticket holder but don't think that i can be bothered to drum up enough enthusiasm to attend.yes,well done to the promotion for getting a meeting on but not enough interest in it for me.shall save the petrol, programme and parking costs and put it towards the cardiff weekend.

spoken like a true heartfelt supporter.IDIOT.so you are pleased then that we have lost another club for this season and maybe, who knows, for good.by the way, which team do you show allegiance to then.
-
to all connected with rye house.my heartfelt sympathy goes out to you.another track falls by the wayside and one that has seen a lot of success.i just hope that you will be coming to tapes next season.i now am starting to fear for the sport, what with rumblings at workington and a few other tracks reported to be struggling.

SGB championship fours 1st July redcar
Moranboys replied to SuperBear's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
shame that as i think the standard of racing was far better than when held at th showground -
apologies then if it was not a glasgow supporter but my post still applies if it is a redcar supporter.

i understand that but if you really think that hurling insults and calling a rider useless is going to help then it is a sorry state of affairs.i have down the years seen some underperforming riders that have ridden for sheffield but i would never shout abuse at them.i realise that the riders are out there to entertain but do you honestly think that richie worrall enjoys the form that he is currently in?yes supporters have a right to an opinion but does that give them carte blanche to berate riders who can actually hear the comments.not a lot of points equals not a lot of pay and confidence equals points, equals pay so why not just try for once and get behind the rider who wears your colours for your benefit.
-
to the person in the stand at yesterdays fours meeting and was hurling abuse at richie worrall,for goodness sake, get off his case.he knows that this season hasn't ,to his standards, been one of his best but he was trying his heart out yesterday and berating him like you did, which he obviously heard due to his response,does absolutely nothing for a riders confidence so just cut him some slack and if you are a true supporter then do what the name suggests.SUPPORT your team.

congratulations on your fours success yesterday.was well deserved.

SGB championship fours 1st July redcar
Moranboys replied to SuperBear's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
what a cracking day out at the fours yesterday.redcar put on a fabulous meeting on only their first staging.my team gave it a really good go and although didn't quite make the final it didn't distract from a great final with all in all some superb very close racing.a huge well done to the redcar promotion and i hope that it will be staged by them again next season.well done. -

got to say,dissapointed with the result at scunthorpe last night but not at all surprised given the circumstances.bit surprised at ty who although chipped in with 7 points, is more than capable of a few more.biggest disappointment was richie corral who ,for whatever reasons having a nightmare of a season, in light of this and the fact that ty proctor rode for us anyway, would he have not been the better guest for us initially?massive massive praise to broc nicol who i am confident is going to be very special indeed.to top score on a track he has never seen before deserves immense praise and hope this continues at the fours tomorrow.well done broc.does anyone know if charles wright is fit to ride in the fours?if not will it be james as replacement with georgic reserve?
