Nicholls is 9.72 & Grondal 5.04

Of course their is The BSPA issued a press release saying they and the SCB had thrashed out a solution, when in truth the SCB/ACU had said it was unlawful and wouldn’t be included in this years rulebook.

Cook wasn’t at the AGM, Lakeside at that time wasn’t in either the Premiership or the Championship.

Ged talked and agreed terms with Nicholls well before he found out about new rules not allowing it, he wasn’t aware of what happened at the AGM until weeks after the event and I do mean weeks. Here we are nearly in March and this year regulations are still not in print. I agree with you that they should all work together to run Speedway but I am afraid the reality is the complete opposite and until they do learn to work together the sport will flounder on.

A team manager recently said to me “It isn’t the team that starts the season that wins trophies it’s the team that it finishes with”

I think the difference is team points limits are reasonable and fair across the board. Its rules that only effect some riders and not everyone that they take issue with.

Indeed

Having listened to his inane drivel on too many occasions I will second that

I don’t often agree with EI Addio but he is spot on with this one, although if my information is right it was only announced on the 23rd Feb, it was decided a while ago

Still don’t understand why the GSA issued regularly cannot show an average (assessed or amended if needed) for both leagues so enabling team managers, officials, referees and supporters easy access to one reference point.

You unfortunately don’t seem able to grasp what’s happened this year despite the fact that you appear to have had sight of much of the evidence.

5.04

I also like matches that are not done and dusted by heat 5, close matches or those where it’s a definite possible that the away team has a good chance of winning is surely the better spectacle, watching the bottom side getting a complete pasting at one of the better teams is like watching paint dry.

You also need to serve up competitive and decent racing and let’s be fair most of what was served up last year just didn’t cut it. Borefests, riders struggling on difficult tracks and racing being shown in front of one man and his dog does nothing to promote the sport at all.

Grondal is 5.04 Lunna is 5.90

Probably because Bacon is at least likely to improve whilst Boxall isn’t.

Sounds promising, thanks for the update.

To be honest it should go to a different venue every year, like all the majors, unfortunately not everyone wants to stage them.

Oh I don’t know, two wins and a draw at your place last year suggests otherwise.

It’s apparent that putting on Speedway incurs some quite decent production costs running into thousands for each televised match but that must on the whole affect every live production by tv companies to cover sport. i would be interested to know what it costs to put a programme on but it must be well into 5 figures.

Not knocking Redcar, been told it’s a lovely track, having been several times to Sheffield and Wolves I think it’s poor to concentrate a crowd in that way.

I remember a certain Jonathan Chapman coming into the sport looking to make a difference Not everyone appreciated it did they Jonathan

So basically CVS likes to cramp/squash his supporters on the terraces because the crowd looks better. wonderful

Perhaps not a good idea to run against a GP Shouldn’t be much of a problem this year with only 14 Championship Fixtures

Ok, so what about printing attendance figures for each match and then comparing them with when tv is in attendance. That would prove or disprove that theory straight away.
