    Here's a couple of great opportunities for you to help shape the public profile of the club and British speedway

     

     

    http://www.leicesterspeedway.com/news.php?extend.32397

    SUPPORTERS of all seven Sports Insure Premiership clubs are being given the opportunity to have a say in the league’s future – and to get involved in race-night media operations.

    As part of a league-wide initiative launched by Premiership CEO Phil Morris, each club will be appointing a Fans’ Voice representative, and a Social Media ambassador.
    The Fans’ Voice representative will have the chance to join Zoom meetings hosted by Morris to discuss the status of the league as a whole with their fellow club representatives, and specifically ways in which the race-night experience for supporters can be enhanced.
    Meanwhile, the Social Media ambassador is a newly created race-night role which will involve working alongside each club’s existing social media team, as well as that of the BSPL.
    The role is primarily designed at content creation and therefore a working knowledge of social media platforms such as TikTok and Facebook/Instagram Reels would be preferable, although training will be given.
    This would be a role requiring access to the pits and centre-green during home meetings, and the successful applicant would need to be able to provide content at speed.
    If you are interested in either of these positions, you are asked to contact the club in the first instance at lions@leicesterspeedway.com
    Potential Fans’ Voice representatives should briefly explain why you feel you would be suitable for the position, and give an example of an idea/change to the sport which you would like to see implemented in the future.
    For the Social Media ambassador role, you should provide brief details as to your suitability for the position, including your previous experience with social media.
    All applications should be made by 5pm on Friday December 1st.

     

    Are these paid roles or are they expecting people to volunteer?

    the quote is 

    You have already signed a contract in Poland. What about starts in other leagues?

    I'm going to find more time to charge my batteries, hence the decision that I will ride in three leagues - in Polish, in British for King's Lynn Stars and in Denmark for Team Fjelsted.

    I do find the use of averages still a completely unnecessary system where teams that are successful are ripped apart. Teams are built to a decimal off the daft points limit and then we see multiple team changes throughout the year. Riders should be graded and throw the calculators in the bin. 

    so instead of using a fair method of an average based on their actual form, you want everyone to be graded which isn't fair way at all?

    Let's be honest I don't think tolley can have done much more to keep the brummies alive. He's been given stick on his rider choices but without him Birmingham would have been gone years ago. 

    One of the main issue's is the lack of supporters. Its alright moaning about the landlord and what not but the support at Birmingham is absolutely terrible. You can have a great track, landlord and team but if the support is crap then what's the point?

    Its his, or his teams job to get the support in though. Has he done enough?

    It was on the first bend and it was Pedersen who had a bit of a reputation!! It was a 50-50 call because Pedersen clamped him and touched his front wheel and in true Nicki style tried to play with Holders mind by having an altercation afterwards. 

    why does someone having a reputation play into it? he should have gone, 100%

    With the touted points limit being so low, it’s important to bring in young riders who have the capabilities to improve. The Tarasenko loophole Glasgow exploited has now been sealed so there can be no repeat. So only genuine 5 pointers. Guessing all teams will have very inexperienced reserves, though I think it’s important to have at least one reserve capable of winning heats. There’s going to be a lot of two races in the same heat.

    Couldn’t resist getting a dig in

    If Ipswich don’t sign up Emil and Doyle they will lose a fair number of fans 

    These 2 put bums on seats and provide huge entertainment…. I’ve bask going Foxhall since 1985 and I can’t remember the atmosphere being as good

    We won the cup and almost (should have ) won the league 

    I love to win a trophy and the cup final night was epic….. however I also like to enjoy watching 

    Not sure how this fits 

    1. Emil

    2. ?

    3.King 

    4. ?

    5. Doyle 

    6. Rew 

    7. Dan Thompson 

    What does that leave?

    Is there room for Brennan or one of the Cook brothers ….. even if this means Rew going to 2 or 4

    Got to say wouldn’t want Erik back …. Nice guy but so far off it and looks hesitant in races 

    should have won the league?

    No disrespect to any of the rising stars this year but Sayfutdinov and Thompson vs Bewley and Mulford is not really a fair match up. The Rising stars wouldn't have gained too much from that and technically just giving the 2 GP riders easy money.  

    Whereas Rising stars at 6 and 7 in the CL would be much more beneficial to them and the fans would see closer races . 

    6 man teams using "rr" would be better...  but what happens if a rider is injured.. guest? 

    But how often does the number one ride the opposing number 7?

    People calling for an end to the season by late August/ mid Sept. They say that October is when the weather turns and they look back over the summer with rose tinted glasses, remembering how lovely the weather was? I seem to remember late June, most of July and quite a few days in August being mostly crap weather with lots of rain about.

    As Woofy would say, "it is what it is" and British weather will always be very hard to predict. Some October's have been as dry as a bone and I quite enjoy speedway when the nights are fast drawing in and there are four guys racing under floodlights. 

    some days in december are fine, should we hold speedway then? Speedway is a summer sport, no one (especially the aging speedway fans) wants to stand around on cold and windy nights at the end of October (and even November last year). On the whole the summer are generally dryer and lighter and better conditions. Just because this summer was wet doesnt negate that.

    Watching scunthorpe TV and commentary blokes said they heard a rumour six man teams for prem no RS  ??

    What’s the point in that? If they need to cut riders 6 man teams WITH a rising star makes more sense

    I'm sure those running Brum aren't daft and know the score, and if they can only run on Mondays then they have no choice anyway. 

    have you ever listened to the current Birmingham promoter in a podcast? Sounds like a nice guy, but also sounds like he has no idea what he is doing
