Meetings are never known until a week before each meeting. Never take any notice of the nonsense fixture list that comes out preseason. I do have to chuckle every year when fans complain about fixture changes because they've prebooked hotels. People never learn. Also, when it comes to the Showground, you can never trust it's owners as they change dates whenever they feel like it.
-
Although nothing official it has been sugg3sted the first meeting will be towards the end of February now as some clubs have been slow to organise their representative. Bit of a kick in the nuts as I had taken Friday night off work (work nights) to enable me to attend Saturday.
-
3 days to go, and there is a deafening silence..
-
DEMAND for tickets could be enhanced by the fact that it will now be the final SGP of the season and where the World Champion is to be crowned.
-
only two days left thurs/friday ?

It's this week

Polish Extraleague TV contract 2019-21
Mark replied to racers and royals's topic in International World of Speedway
Agreed. Happy to call it a sporting draw but I'm not naive as the riders will have to get some of the extra money. Might be plenty of Polish fans who'll pay to attend 2 meetings each weekend in 2019. An idea for a Travel Plus Tour maybe ? -
Would not be surprised to see Bomber, Danny and Rich all have a spell at number one with this line up. Should be an interesting year on the Heath...
-
Lets hope Lynn, Borough and Ipswich finish as the bottom 3... Ipswich still look a terrible side and Harris’s average is only going one way..

Thank you to the BSPA

NOT sure "speedway spends millions" is likely in this day and age -

PHILIPRISING replied to Dave Stummings's topic in Speedway News and Discussions
THERE has been a huge uplift in the use of social media by many of the tracks (especially Twitter) in the UK and to a lesser extent even the BSPA. But, as we at SS have discovered, it is probable that the vast majority of fans do not which suggest that it might not be quite so effective as one might hope. -
Polish Extraleague TV contract 2019-21
Mark replied to racers and royals's topic in International World of Speedway
I keep saying 2 because its 2. Fact. If we get a rain off it could increase but its 2 now. Who says they would use a Friday for a replacement ? Maybe if all 4 meetings go kuput on the same weekend but that is so rare. Keep some stats and we'll chat again after Torun. You can't use hypothetical rain off's as part of the argument just to suit. -
The Triumvirate could not have done a better job if they had deliberately set out to drive people away. Louis falling out of his pram re number 1 seems to have been the catalyst
-
Just had a study of it, as you say it's a cracking site, so sharp, clear and informative.

He ended up with a decent Premiership average (they don't lie) and his class will shine through ...have faith brotha he is a top class performer and i'm sure will give plenty of entertainment, but I guess you are a pint "half empty" kind of guy
-
They've forgotten to do it. Surely somebody there must wake up soon
-
Definitely not for me Scott is well passed his best and his average is only going to go one way whereas I think Ty can easily up his 6.67 a bit, wouldn’t surprise me he finishes the year on close to a 7.00 as long as he can remain injury free.

Polish Extraleague TV contract 2019-21
PHILIPRISING replied to racers and royals's topic in International World of Speedway
WE could go on forever. But let's not. However you are a little naive about Polish speedway if you think the clubs will will be dictated to by riders. -
Nicholls instead of Proctor anyone?
-
Give it 6 weeks into the season and the excuses come thick and fast, Louis will be on the phone again.

Polish Extraleague TV contract 2019-21
racers and royals replied to racers and royals's topic in International World of Speedway
You keep on saying 2 GP`s - however the reserve dates are on another 6 GP weekends. Hell of a difference if they use some of those !!!! -
Polish Extraleague TV contract 2019-21
Mark replied to racers and royals's topic in International World of Speedway
Two new TV deals have given a huge amount of extra revenue over the contract period. R&R gave the values earlier in the thread, sigificant sums of money generated just from TV and more will come from sponsors because every match is live. Riders are not fools as they are the stars of the show and will argue there worth What makes you think the riders are not earning more given the huge rise in income due to these contracts ? If the riders are earning more, the clubs are earning more, there is more sponsorship coverage, the opportunity for more sponsors is obvious due to live TV - if you find that hard to swallow - there is no hope !! You refuse to embrace the postive and only mention the negative. I'm setting the balance and it is FOR 2 GP'S ONLY. -
Yes, it was Chris I meant John. She used to stand with us when we stood in front of the Office, and would go anywhere for Chris, even staying overnight at his house if he had a few meetings together down south. I don't think even I could pick myself out, presumably it was in brown sepia.

Not in this week's Star.
