  1. For me it has to be Prague and Torun. Prague being the easiest to get to and plenty to see and do over the visit. Racing wasn’t the best but with the ease of getting to it etc I would good back again. Torun was amazing atmosphere and nice town to stay in. We hired a car to get to it from the airport but there are plenty ways including the fantastic Travel Plus Tours. Thoughts on the your best and others you have visited. ?
  2. Which riders does it affect ?
  3. ....and there is the problem.
  4. If the idea is to get extra people into the track then they need to work with a very large employee in the area. e.g Council / NHS / Union / car plant etc. - Offer all the staff reduced price price tickets (e.g £10 or £12) every meeting on ideally a place like standing only where they can upsell if they choose to. Maybe in return the company offers sponsorship in the future.
  5. Ice hockey teams across the country don't own they rent. What you need are tracks that are used every day and night of the week.
  6. Watching Emil Sayfutdinov race last night was something special. Do you think Ipswitch have done a big favour to alot of other clubs to bring in the crowds when he rides away at other tracks this year in the UK ? When Ipswitch are in town its a definite one to watch and hopefully if Nick Pederson is ok that should help bring in a few extra in through the gates around the country. Anyone else ?
  7. Commercial organisations (and non commercial) can post details of products for sale and links to their own websites in this section. This includes any Books or meeting videos.

  11. It is with great sadness the loss of one of our own, Steve Turner. He was a great chap and always smiled on the terraces and had many friends on the BSF. He was one those who brought a lot of forum members and fans together. I remember meeting him many times and have fond memories of our trip to the Cardiff GP together with Fd and Co. Rest in peace my friend.

    Newcastle Diamonds 2021

    Hit the nail on the head! The sport is a £10 sport. Riders must get other jobs that fits around it like in lots of other sports with such low gate money or ride abroad as well. Also people says its a family sport but that is far from it. The vast majority of kids around 12 and under will be in bed by about 9:30 on a school night!

  21. The banqueting suite will be built on the site of the Hare and Hounds bar with the terraced area at the finish line end of the track also making way for the new development. “The way it has been designed will allow for the top floor suite to be open for 500 guests or split into rooms of 250, 150 and 100 people capacities providing fantastic views across the track. “On the same level will be five brand new executive boxes which will cater for 20 people per box. These, too, can be made into one large executive box for 100 guests. Our existing executive boxes will remain in place until the new development is open and a new entrance will be in place until building work is completed.” https://www.rmcmedia.co.uk/magazines/westside/article/Owlerton-Stadium-announces-plans-for-5m-banqueting-suite

    Sheffield 2019

    I see the tigers have linked up with the Sheffield Steelers ice hockey. They are going to offer a some kind of discount to the Steeler's season ticket holders which is great news but they could by missing a MASSIVE opportunity here. Why not offer £5 a meeting vouchers to be used for say 2 meetings valid until the end of April to ALL Steelers fans. There will be over 7000 fans at the ice hockey on Saturday night! Both sports are very family orientated with ice hockey season just about to finish and the speedway about to start.
