Shadders 4,134 Posted September 28, 2014 First impressions are a lower crowd than expected, but there's still 45 minutes until the start time, so plenty of time to fill out. it depends on what you want to watch, do you want to watch a bunch of kids trying to make there way in the sport you follow, being paid a pittance and risking there lives to give you some entertainment or watch a few very well paid premadonnas sticking a little ball down a hole 18 times. If it comes down to Balls I think the speedway riders has bigger ones. Speedway every time for me. You forgot to add, "if you think you can do better"... etc. Rather watch top class sportsmen, or a bunch of kids trying to negotiate a tricky speedway track? I'd have rather watched the golf, but the other half wanted to come, so here we are Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Blackbird 54 Posted September 28, 2014 Having seen the behaviour of the Cradley riders and fans today can I respectfully suggest they need to calm down... a lot! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shadders 4,134 Posted September 28, 2014 They were fine until heat 20, then they went nuts!! Very funny watching them kick off. I really hope they move up a league next year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
greyhoundp 990 Posted September 28, 2014 First of all well done to Danny Halsey, the Cradley fans, we really need to go through a period of NOT winning anything then maybe the hotheads will drift away, it seems from reports almost every time a rider or the Team gets beat someone kicks off. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Blackbird 54 Posted September 28, 2014 With Greaves, Phillips and now possibly Clegg facing bans, then that period without winning something might yet begin this season... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fozzie4388 679 Posted September 28, 2014 Cradley rider didn't win? I'm guessing someone cheated right? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Silver Cheetah Snr 113 Posted September 28, 2014 Cradley rider didn't win? I'm guessing someone cheated right? Yes the referee according to certain Cradley fans. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mimmo 1,070 Posted September 28, 2014 Well done to Dan Halsey, a deserved winner, but as speedway meetings go, it's the biggest load of crap I've seen this season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shadders 4,134 Posted September 28, 2014 I agree. It was an awful speedway meeting on a dry and dusty track. Either have it in the evening, or move it to another track Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cityrebel 2,960 Posted September 28, 2014 Apart from the delays, I didn't think it was too bad a meeting, but that might be down to how little I expect from speedway these days. On such a warm day the track was under watered from the start, with dust rising from heat 1. I tend to agree with you shads, maybe it's time this meeting was moved elsewhere.

Panthers89 1,922 Posted September 28, 2014 What did the Cradley fans actually do then? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shadders 4,134 Posted September 28, 2014 I was by the startline where there were about a dozen of em. Apart from cheering when James Sarjeant fell they were pretty quiet. Then it all kicked off in heat 20 when Max Clegg & Danny Halsey had a battle for first place. Nothing as bad as I've read from other meetings. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Panthers89 1,922 Posted September 28, 2014 Apart from the cheering then when James fell, just passionate..... must be a real fine line between passionate and out of control then. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
