Coventry Stadium - The Promotion Men Vs Boys !
ovalfan replied to markyb's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
err.. i dont think there were 24 elite league meetings- broadly the equivalent of f1 stox. There are f2stox superstox and banger type meetings all over uk certainly more than 24 over the weekend. Dont comment unless you know what youre talking about! How very ignorant!You can get a couple of good speedway meets in a year but so many today are processions. And THAT is boring. -
So they run it on a flooded track. Shows they can if they want to. No thought to paying customers when they dont want to race normally when theres a rain drop in the air or a trickle of water on track. Turned round well in an hour shows how so many fixtures get drawn out usually.

Looking at radar i think thats it. Shame poole not behind as would be interesting to see if they would be continuing!

Nice to tell the sky viewers its off before the people who have paid to go in!

Lakeside Vs Poole 1st Sept (sky Meeting)
ovalfan replied to SCB's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
Should have to get to at least 12 or 13 heats to call it off. If that were the case would they even have tried to continue? A line appeared and with more trackwork should have gone to heat 15. And they wonder why people dont go if weather looks iffy. Watching middlo was funny. Was so angry looking. Only wants to get to a result when winning. Nothing to do with safety. -
Birmingham Future In Doubt ? Alan Phillips Has Had Enough!
ovalfan replied to Brummie Kev's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
I appreciate alan put a lot of cash into the club and it was losing money but the interview is an insult to the fans that supported the club. Hes living in dreamland saying hes the best promoter theyve had??!! If he was so good at promoting crowds would be bigger?? Reckons would have got 3-4000 there if july 2nd meet had gone ahead- really????? Says no problem with gra but blames them- among others- for closing. Still says hes a brummie fan but has screwed the real fans, some of who are out of pocket and admits riders not paid for last meeting at home- probably longer if other debts to br believed. If it ever reopens after the mess hes left i cant see how he can ever set foot in there again. -

No surprise to anyone. I do feel if they had invested a little more in a slightly better team the crowds would have been better and losses would have been less. If forced to go NL i cant see that surviving. PL possibly but will the crowds return? The whole league needs a complete shake up. Elite with too few clubs too repetitive. -
British Final 2014

Tai's next public appearance at the local garden centre then on gardners world. -
You are joking!! Why do that when rain forecast. Called off after a shower is a surprise but not if it really was watered. Maybe more rain to come though.

Elite Riders Championship - 25/09/2014
ovalfan replied to Woz01's topic in Speedway Testimonials & Individual and Shared Events
Cov track has had a hole on turn 1 for a couple of years that they refuse to fix properly due to cost. The november stock car date was run in no rain but had some afternoon rain and due to very bad preperation material turned to slop and caused more damage. Possibly why they changed track curator. -
One of the oldest venues still going. Will be sad if it closes. I would hope planning will make it difficult to change its use but they do appear un-nervingly confident about getting it!
