  1. And all because they relaxed a rule last season...now all this.......when will those numptys in charge ever learn. If they relax it this season...I guess they will keep it relaxed from then on...or every year someone could be crying it's not fair...I'm British and can't drop down
  2. How old is young??? Lawson will be 32 by season start and Wright 29.
  3. Its like a numptyfest on here sometimes....well actually most of the time.
  4. Don't forget all your teams will need to include lambert and oystercard...so you can't throw them all away.
  5. And pointing out what people have said...is so sad...I'm childish and both of you are sad....not just normal sad...but very very sad
  6. Subject??? Thought I said someone?? Or did I say people that bore me?? Talking of boring....yawn yawn yawn.
  7. 2 grand a meeting I would think....150 a point as you say you be the minimum....considering he wanted double his previous offer.
  8. You may as well give up fella....seems some on here suffer from small manhood syndrom
  9. If they change the rules..all teams put together should be null and void and team building should be allowed to start a fresh for everyone....That's the only fair way of doing it. also every riders average assessed or re assessed and open to all teams...not assessed on case by case
  10. One fact I can give...is I've had private messages saying what a complete knob jockey Bwitcher is.....fact. Can't be bothered to waste any more energy and time on someone so boring and dull . Bye
  11. Arsenal against Liverpool on the TV at pub. 36 people asked about statistics of game......not one...That's right..not one cared... Its basically just waffle before the game to most normal supporters. Obviously all just out having a drink and watching the game and enjoying themselves.
  12. I do like statistics....female vital statistics
  13. The club I follow used to do little social media competitions as a way of advertising..so you share the post and so on...Anyway...I know of someone that won one of these.....it was a photo signed by the team. This person or any of their family had never been to speedway before so it worked that a new audience had been reached. Obviously having never been and being the winner they thought they would be admitted free of charge. This wasn't the case...so the club was expecting this person to travel from Colchester..okay not too far...and pay to get in to get prize...they obviously didn't bother. Shame in a way that they were not let in for nothing..they may have come back with their children....one of which does a blog and has over 200 thousand followers...and the blog is for motorbike bike racing. Sometimes I think clubs are very short sighted. Letting 3 people in for free...could have worked out more lucrative in the long term.
  14. It's my opinion that people that have an interest in stats are unfashionable and socially inept.
  15. I shall do a poll down the pub later...it will be full of football fans.....I shall ask if any of them give a single toss about the statistics of passes and distance run and the other stuff mentioned. I very much doubt the average fans could give a single one...I'm sure they just want to watch a good match with goals and their team winning.....you wouldn't hear a fan in the stand saying to his mate.. Our striker touched the ball 20 times last match and ran a distance of 400 metres and passed the ball so many times........the statistics are for the half hour chat on the build up to the game on the TV.
  16. No I'm not utterly wrong....its my opinion. Believe it or not I'm allowed one.
  17. More importantly they will need to change the rules, and then out bid other clubs wanting a good rider or 2
  18. Speedway is geeky in its little way...not that it's a problem to me...I watch the racing and go home and maybe make comments about what I've seen on this forum...which is probably geeky Maybe more should be made of the statistics and geeky side of the sport as someone has suggested previously. Maybe 4 blokes on motorbikes isn't as appealing as putting numbers in boxes and crossing out names and putting other names in spaces. Each to their own and all that.
  19. Yes some other sports fill in such things but I don't see many..in fact I've never seen anyone....but at speedway I would imagine a good 90 percent fill in the programme..Maybe even more. Next time I'm at or watching another sport I shall see if can see anyone do it. Speedway is 4 riders ..I can see where they finish, I've no need to write it down. Anyway, I think this has been done to death now.
  20. That's very true....start with an average team and finish with a good one.
  21. So not as many as compared to speedway fans??? I'm guessing it was brought in at speedway so it gives people something to do in between races. I've watched many sports on TV and been to a fair few and it's never a stand out thing I've seen the fans do . I go to superbikes, touring cars, moto gp..to name a few..and have never felt the need to write down the order they finish in, along with the majority of people at those sports I would imagine. So I imagine it's done at speedway more than any other sport. Not that I have a problem with that...but like I've said..I just find it strange.
  22. That's the thing...I can't..... The announcer says what the scores are after every race...so I've no need to write it down on a piece of paper
  23. It is .....I'm obviously a selective geek...are there any other sports where people fill in a programme to keep score??? I can't think of any..but maybe there is....Maybe all the other sports are missing out.
  24. I think the poole track does actually produce good racing when it's in good condition....a good track should be the minimum a club should aim for every season.
  25. Like I said..I know I'm in the minority....I just obviously don't have that inner geek in me.
