Must be me as I thought he was being sarcastic not serious.

Very, very True... I have been involved in running and marketing businesses for over 30 years and in all that time (in fact ad infintum since commerce began), pretty much nothing has changed in how you make a success of what you do.. Listen to your customer's feedback.. Give them what they want, (or be honest and explain to them why you cannot meet these expectations).. And control your costs to ensure what your customers want is both value for money for them, but delivers profits to you.. Utopia is to earn the "lifetime loyalty" of your customer, and given Speedway is a Team Sport, that 'emotional loyalty' should be easy to engender and taken as a 'given'... My 'loyals' as they are referred to, are absolutely key to my success, as if I lose ONE of them, such is the frequency of their visits per week, I need TWELVE other 'non loyals' (customers who shop at various locations), to visit me once a week to replace them.. Instead of wondering why they are not getting any new customers in, maybe Speedway should try and attract back those 'loyals' who used to attend, whilst at the same time listening to the 'loyals' who still do attend, but are gradually losing their emotional attachment to keep themselves attending..

"A big whooosh". That takes me back to the good old days of the forum!!

Heat 2 troubles. Lewis looked to have a bike issue on bend one/two lap one that forced Alex into the fence. Lewis’ machinery problems were terminal and he withdrew immediately. Alex walked back to the pits but needed medical attention with the County Ambulance called to take him to hospital for a check up. Meeting delayed by about an hour unfortunately but in Warrior fashion we managed to create some activities to keep a good sized crowd engaged. Both sets of riders were generous with their time interacting with the supporters and helping to bridge the gap and John Carpenter & Barry Bishop were brilliant giving a public lesson on the mechanics of a speedway bike that was really well received.

Classic!!!

"Belle Vue have made hardly any changes this year"...... They have had around 20 Guests..!! I take it you must be using the same 'logic'' that Trigger used in Only Fools and Horses, when he proudly told everyone that in his job he had used exactly the same road sweeping broom for the past 20 years.... And then told all present that in that time it had had just 17 new heads and 14 new handles... "Awright Dave?"....

Who’s RR guys??

Surely if it’s anything other than Lawrence Rogers being replaced you’ll be mightily disappointed!

It will get dragged into the mess when the top 2 leagues only think of themselves yet claim its been the best AGM yet.

They can always book themselves into Scunthorpe and test their bikes there pre-season.

Yes a big "whooosh" for a couple of posters I think.

Is that meant to be breaking news!

These are professional riders so if they can’t work out the racing lines after a couple of rides then clearly they should not be putting their leg over a speedway bike. I don’t recall the riders of the seventies moaning about tracks, they got stuck in and rode it. We seem to be making so many excuses for our riders these days but its still a motorbike with no brakes on a dirt track. We lost plain and simple and the riders have to up their game for us to be in a shout of the playoffs.

Another new one or is it Reading Racer 2017 in disguise?

Do people seriously believe Woofy, going for the world title, was ever going to line up for Sheffield in the second tier of British speedway? If the rules allowed it, fixtures didnt clash and Sheffield wanted him, he still wouldnt of.

So is your grammar.

Could the Star do some investigating Journalism about the current situation regarding Swindon Stadium, The Promoters don’t tell the fans any thing, There is now nothing in the Local Press, The silence is shocking, I payed good money to see the “Final meeting at the Abbey” and there was lots of publicity for that meeting but since then nothing, Speedway Star please find out, and let us the fans get an update on the situation

Here we go!

Poole 44 Kurtz 7+1 Grajczonek 8+2 Worrall 6 R/R Harris 6 Woryna 14+2 Riss 3+2 Swindon 46 Batchelor 12+4 Bellego 4 Ellis 7 Musielak 9+1 Morris 13 Wajtknecht 1 Smith 0

The meeting last night had a 2 or 3 good tussles, which was definitely more than what we got at Wimborne Road the week before.

If it's slick - comfortable home win.

My first memory was when my dad took me to see Czechs ride at Romford in 1970. It was scary stuff watching the likes of Vaclav Verner ride inches away from the concrete safety wall at brooklands!

I fully appreciate you are, as usual, just stirring the rubbish but, even by your standards, that’s pretty comical. It wasn’t a great meeting last night but nor was it an awful one. I enjoyed it more than the match at Poole the previous week so to say the racing was so much better at Wimborne Road is, in my opinion, is just plain wrong. There was a fair bit of passing, almost all by Rebels, and some good close racing, Klindt in particular got stuck in. And there was the bonus of the Brady Kurtz show, what a bizarre performance!

ACES had five craven/fundin/mauger/collins/crump not bad eh !!

Sunday`s Wroclaw v Torun is a brilliant match
