  1. Past hour
  2. Woke up this morning, stretched out my elbows, No Wooden sides ! another day to be grateful for .
  3. I’m sure Garage and his Tory failures will save us all
  4. Dont worry Kier has 2/3 more years to achieve his plan and relieve you of those
  5. Today
  6. Cheerleaders performing on the centre green in the interval ?
  7. Even that home record last year got broken on many occasions
  8. Perhaps the Godfreys' ambition is to run the Scunthorpe speedway to a sensible budget, and provide entertainment (and home wins) for many seasons to come?
  9. I used to watch the Colts for a tenner, with my then teenage lad, getting in for free... On a Friday night... With crowds of around 800... The racing was more than on a par with what was getting served up at top league level, and, for the two of us, was around £12 cheaper... Hence, we watched the Colts far more than the Aces... And, given most people in Manchester wouldn't have know their Matej Zagar from their Kyle Bickley, anyone new to the sport would have seen the racing for what it was... ie "the racing".. Personally instead of promoters clubbing together to put out a sixth team, they would be far better clubbing together and marketing a 14 team league with teams across the nation... At what level? "Reasonable"... As the audience they would be trying to attract probably won't know any of the competitors, so "big names" would mean absolutely nothing to them.. Time to "Rip it up and start again"...
  10. Sad news RIP condolences to the family
  11. I see that you say matt ford made a mistake with his admission prices last season,but very difficult to know where to pitch prices for leisure events especially in these times,actually nobody knows the right answer but the owners have got to call it as they see it.(no doubt clive you will have to have the last say,but the trap is set! haha)
  12. Can't say things like this you'll upset poor little Toshy Woshy 🤣
  13. Still alive, got a roof over my head and food in the cupboard.
  14. tbf I don't think anybody else is interested... we have enough of our own problems to discuss without expending energy on Poland's first world problems. And some clubs do crow, instead of looking at themselves they reach for the gun and hold it to the fans heads, instead of running to a budget they can afford in a league that is sustainable for them on a race night that brings in their best crowd.
  15. Health service glasses Gigolos and brasses Round or skinny bottoms Take your mum to Paris Lighting up the chalice Wee Willy Harris Bantu Stephen Biko, listening to Rico Harpo, Groucho, Chico Cheddar cheese and pickle, the Vincent motorsickle Slap and tickle Woody Allen, Dali, Dimitri and Pasquale Balabalabala and Volare Something nice to study, phoning up a buddy Being in my nuddy Saying hokey-dokey, singalonga Smokey Coming out of chokey John Coltrane's soprano, Adi Celentano Bonar Colleano
  16. They don't crow, They just go public with the truth when fans give up on their team after losing a few meetings and fans always say that they want to know the truth. The Clubs put the money in before a wheel has been turned knowing that they're far more likely to make a loss than break even in order to put on the best product that British Speedway can offer in it's darkest of days. We've got Polish threads on here but other than me, Nobody dares to speak the truth about a number of similarites to British Speedway.
  17. It was what happened, don't think it is now though and the number of MDL sides would reflect that. If anything the volunteers who were doing things for the love of the sport were pushed/priced out by those who wanted the credit for themselves.......PJL anyone?
  18. Based on starting 1-7's that lets face it mean nothing as hardly any will actually stay the same due to injuries / form but... 1. Poole 2. Oxford 3. Glasgow 4. Plymouth 5. Worky 6. Edinburgh 7. Berwick 8. Redcar 9. Scunthorpe Think 4th, 5th and 6th could go to any one of the three there and hope Plymouth sneak it
  19. I don't think that this is true at the lower levels. My experiences in the MDL some years ago suggests that this is exactly what happens, despite the total indifference of the promoters.
  20. https://www.savecoventryspeedway.com/_mobile/news.php?extend.4312.1
  21. Crikey must have had a good day somewhere? Last season might not have felt like a disaster but with newbies starting on a 2.00 this season thats quite an extra chunk of points used up.
  22. Reasons to be cheerful ? Summer, Buddy Holly, the working folly Good golly, Miss Molly and boats Hammersmith Palais, the Bolshoi Ballet Jump back in the alley and nanny goats 18 wheeler Scammels, dominica camels All other mammals plus equal votes Seeing Piccadilly, Fanny sniffin' Willie Being rather silly and porridge oats A bit of grin and bear it, a bit of come and share it Your welcome we can spare it, yellow socks Too short to be haughty, too nutty to be naughty Going on forty no electric shocks The juice of a carrot, the smile of a parrot A little drop of claret, anything that rocks Elvis and Scotty, the days when I ain't spotty Sitting on a potty, curing smallpox
  23. Decent expenses rates would feature pretty highly. The number who actually do it "for the love of the sport" are far fewer than many like to make out
  24. Respect to them until the ** go up and they start crowing about if you don't come you'll lose it or worse still go bust mid season, then they're left with an "asset" that nobody wants to buy... and that must sound familiar, especially to you guys currently down in Suffolk. And you don't see much criticism of the Polish operating model on this forum as it's the British Speedway Forum and most are posting about the issues facing British clubs and not Polish ones.
  25. usually they're cheap and won't speak out of turn 🤣
  26. Big surprises in store according to Rob Godrey in his recent interview on 360 speedway podcast.
