If only! Them were the days..

[scoobydoo 2,253]

Doyle did the witches no favours with his non existent team riding , Harris team rode with Ellis and hes not even a Sheffield rider

Sudden Sam is the worst of time ... talks a lot without making any point .

The promoters need to make televised matches cheaper, particularly now, maybe they ought to survey their crowd on a non TV night to see what would persuade fans to turn out!!

Scored 10 to help us beat you last week. Batch was signed as a 5 pointer, he’s far from a problem.

Get rid of Sam. 

Don't pan to  the 500  crowd and say it's a good crowd. Don't show them. FFS

A more interesting & enjoyable meeting than I'd expect from Foxhall.  Sheffield put the point the Aces nicked from their visit into perspective.  Foxhall was always going to be the one track Musielak would struggle on this year.  King seems to be trying to hard, Batchelor looks spent, why was he in heat 15?

They also need to make them less tedious. Waiting while adverts and interviews play out at home is so so boring in the stadium.

Exactly. I said as soon as it was announced, "So Ipswich don't want to win then."

Well watching it on catch-up and skimming all but the races I wasn't sure which riders were who Riss & Barker and the camera operators don't help, but Witches needed a 5-1 - King hadn't had a good night but was only option to partner Doyle.

Sadly Sam will be in danger of being remembered as the worst ever speedway broadcaster in all of human history rather than the top rider he was.

Of course they should do...

As they should have done for a long, long time.. 

Two hours of free advertising for the sport so maybe they should at least try and make it look popular..?

Restaurants put you in the window tables early in the evening for a reason and that is to make their establishment look "popular"....

As they know that people are "sheep like" and easily led and influenced...

Speedway showcases itself with rows and rows and rows of empty seats..

A bit of a waste of a two hours advert I would suggest...
