Is it too early to make changes? Will we make the play-offs with this side?

Had it not been for Barker’s fall in fourteen and Garry May picking his riders for heat fifteen out a hat, Plymouth would have hit the late 50s. You could even argue with the match won, King and Nicholls strolled heat thirteen.

I defended Hodder only days ago, but he’s so far off it. Even worse is our two-times, reigning British U21 champion. Nine rides, two points; one from beating the other and the second from a three-rider race. Utterly abysmal.

I don’t think it takes a rocket scientist to estimate what Hausl would have scored tonight either. 

Glaring issues that need addressed ASAP. IMO, of course.

So which three riders would you sign to replace Mario, Sam and Freddy? I think you have 11.11 points to spend.

I’m sure they’ll bring in some European ringer on a false average like they have a couple of times.

Like Edinburgh did with palovaara last season, glass houses and all that didn't quite pan out with cluff though did it.

Surely the result doesn't matter as long as the racing was exciting?😉 Whether it was or wasn't I bet the large crowd will be back for the next home meeting. Well done Plymouth.....

Good idea will pass this never thought off before notion to the recruitment team.

Always the ever helpful Edinburgh fan that you are that never and I mean never comes across as bitter.

I wouldn’t necessarily replace all three; Hausl deserves time.

The extent of my speedway interest doesn’t exceed the UK, so recruitment isn’t my bag.

This would have made sense if the racing was exciting.

To create exciting racing, you must be competitive; neither happened last night.

Less than twenty minutes of racing within just over a three hours period (if the punter arrived as heat one started). The majority of the meeting was spent watching track staff replace two air fences and attempt to fix the starting tapes.

Aye, I’m sure they’ll be back…

The racing at Ashfield is always exciting but the crowds have been falling away recently. Friday was one of the hottest days of the year but the attendance was poor. I'm not sure why this is the case.

Really looked a healthy turnout too me wouldn’t say it was any less or more than usual.

Only going by the naked eye though as I don’t count the crowd every week.

So you think the crowds have been falling away recently and you wonder why? Firstly when you say recently do you mean since the play offs last year, since we've only had 2 home meetings this year  Berwick and Plymouth. Many people I know  assumed  Berwick would be rained off so didn't go. And perhaps the decision to stream at the bargain price of £7 had an impact. The time to judge will be next meeting against Edinburgh. Their fans always turn up if they think they've got a chance and after their brilliant result against Redcar at home recently who can blame them.

Not to replace our reserves, they won't. Want a rider on a 2.00 average? Needs a British passport.

Very impressed by pedersen got to be one the best signings of the season along with klima,based on what we've seen so far.

11.23 available now, down to 10.16 with the May averages (unless every replacement is equal or lower to rider being replaced).

I don't see them making changes, at least not this early.

[Wardey]

Absolutely lunacy to be thinking about replacing riders at this early stage.  Speedway is not Premiership football. Thought the crowd was OK, but have seen it bigger. Long season still.  Chatted to a few Plymouth fans, so fair play to them making the trip.

Tough times financially 

[nagy1]

Why do we accept these off times to race against Edinburgh? Track will be different and probably suit them. It is like the ridiculous way we accept the Plymouth matches after riding up in Scotland.
