OK I accept that could be the reason for the later finish but in cold weather delays and time wasting need to be kept to a minimum 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Aside from the tapes delays and Twitter vote count up Id say it was a smooth and quick paced running The tractors are needed if you want to keep the track in a condition to enable the passing that did take place to continue..... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As for updates, since Starsupates gave up I don't get any as I'm still banned by the club on social media. To be fair there are a few signs of added value but they all come courtesy of the hard working Supporters Club, who AFAIK are completely independent of the promotion. I'm sure if anything changes it will be trumpeted on here cos I sure as heck won't find out from the promotion (see above) One downside for the club by blocking fans on social media is they’ve no idea when meetings are on so it isolates those fans and they don’t attend 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As I recall the majority of the bans were as a result of disagreements with an individual. Not saying they were correct or incorrect but If that's a sound business reason to continue the ban they obviously don't want to increase crowd numbers.

Why isolate fans with bans on social media an indefinite ban serves no purpose A short ban maybe - I was banned for what I believed was saying some home truths I wasn’t offensive I didn’t think but there you go . As you say they clearly don’t want to increase crowd levels . Only in speedway Edited April 16, 2019 by Haza Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Riss and Jorgensen brave manoeuvres down the back straight. King and Lamberts battle and then Heeps overtaking Lambert. Toft passing King. Jorgensen Gp move on Heeps. That's off the top of my head while a bit bored at work. Didn't Lambert overtake Heeps in 15 too. Edit: Forgot Harris around Kerr bend 3. Finished at 21-15 pretty decent time I thought. Yayyyy Tellboy It was a tight match (with all the emotion that goes with it) until heat 8 when we pulled away by 6 pts There was some exciting racing 100% and we got the win over the Witches, can't be bad. Then off to a room full of fans for the press conference, everyone was happy, apart from Kasper who bravely faced us but as expected EVERYONE voiced their support for him, it was so good to hear. Thomas was obviously voted Rider of the Night by the KLSSC member, who else! Onwards and upwards for our Stars Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm sure it is but I've got along without them for some time now so in the words of the song I'll get along without them now Instead of the blue and gold hued version given out by the club I prefer to read the likes of Trees thro to G13Webb and all shades in between and make my own mind up. I tend to be swayed by the likes of Speedball and Bagpuss whose opinions I totally respect as they tend to call a spade a spade and in the main are unbiased.
