happy potter

Sad news about the closure, never a good thing to hear.

Knowing the promotion and the lack of understanding in track matters he has probably ordered 10 tonne of hardcore!! LMFAO

It's a shame how the place has turned out, it's being run into the ground and it would be a sad state if it did shut but that is all that looms in the future for Stoke. Needs a new promoter but the current promoter wants ridiculous money for the sale. It has potential to be a great stadium but not with this current shower running it!

I keep posting on here to stay away and the posts i have read goes to show it isn't worth spending your hard earned down there. Promotion will never change as long as folks keep turning up giving them money. Save your time coming here, go somewhere else to watch speedway.

Stay at home mate with a couple of beers as the weekend will be nice. Spend your £15 on some Stella!

Stoke=Joke! Another shambles of a season if this is to go by. God help Max Clegg, talented lad at a s##t club!

As previously said by Fubar and Adonis you get nowt from Loomer. Communication between fans and management was poor to say the least and when fans voiced their dislike to a bad result the promoter thought it best to have a slanging match with said people, until you face him up on a monday dinner when no one else is there and he turns into a softly spoken chap, lol Commercial manager whoever that may be should be going around the local schools with a rider and his bike and a short video to try and entice the next generation of fans, (kids come in free and the parent half price for that meeting) and maybe just maybe they will come again, but the commercial side of that club is woeful to say the least. As said before it is a good race track if prepared properly and has great views and possible potential for expansion with more bars or buildings to keep fans warm on the back straight. It's not hard, promote properly within your area, sell the place to large companies and build up the place to a good level and fans might come back. My two children's god father was a previous Stoke captain in the 2000's and he loved the place but when another rider came from another club and sort of took over that's when the problems started as Mrs T found the new rider captivating and did all he wanted and balls to the rest!! Not sure about payment problems never heard that but it wouldn't surprise me if problems happened. The club is not going anywhere other than closure as he now relies on the stock cars and if that goes then he is FUBAR'd.

a Loomer Road season ticket holder. You don't want to be one of them mate, not worth the ink that is printed on it.

bloody hell a 4 for re frying chips!! LOL Mike Butler in reply to you save your money and go to the coast far more entertaining than here.

I don't know what the promotion think they are saving by using an inadequate generator? We used to have lights that were ok back in the day but never this dangerous. As I say one bad crash when the lights suddenly go out and that would be that. If the place has to run on a shoestring budget then as previous comments, a life is more important, so shut the place!

And that would shut the place!!

As I have said before, it's a joke! Feel sorry for people like Griffo who has been down there from the start and has put his heart and soul into his job, it's a pity those who run the place can't be arsed. Programmes being wrong doesn't surprise me, lights going out doesn't surprise me, 10 heats a meeting doesn't surprise me, track in poor shape doesn't surprise me, in fact nothing surprises down there anymore. Glad I spend my hard earned elsewhere than fill those pockets of the people who don't give a toss about the fans. Will the last person out turn the lights off please, if they are still on that is!!!!

Weather perfect here today, blue skies no clouds and a small breeze, probably end up with a power failure!!!

Place is a dump, run into the ground and no future! Lots of people went on a Saturday night when we were in the Premier but the so called 3 year plan to bounce back is another load of crap spouted by the promotion. Would rather go to other stadiums than the one 2 mins away from my house! Can't fulfill the fixtures due to being more interested in making money from the stock cars and the speedway taking a back seat,run the stocks but shut the speedway as it is a joke!

poor advertising? stoke? never its the same week in week out. imo this meeting should have started at half 6, he struggles to get 15 heats done some weeks let alone 24! and it never starts at half 7.
