Think they're missing out there. Richard Coleman said the stats for the Ipswich steam show it's people well outside Ipswich who subscribe, plus those not fit enough to attend any more.

No! Unless BSN cover it then nothing. there is a special deal £0!! on for U17s for the duration of of the holidays - hoping to boost the crowd

What time do the gates open?

I get the sentiment, however, to many Promoter's, they are doing "their job"... Which, to them, is to put on a Speedway meeting with, (hopefully and ideally), 14 riders in attendance.. Any 14 riders within some ultra flexible adhoc framework... To the majority of Promoters they see funding their hobby, giving riders a chance to earn money, and putting on a Speedway meeting for people to attend, as being their contribution to the sport in the UK... Moving it forwards isn't on their agenda... Independent governance, jeopardy and consequence of meetings, prizes worth winning, and scrutiny of your infrastructure, costs money...

Do sheffield have a live stream? Can't find anything but that doesn't mean there isn't one!

Interesting that he says "Poland + One League" next season means exactly that... Not "Poland and One Country"... Which means DU'ing for many, should they decide to ride over here and not Sweden or Denmark, will not be an option... As for his ideas for Speedway in the UK?... All very basic, and common sense, however, they are exactly the same as has been discussed ad nauseum on here for around 20 years at least.. And are all clearly needed... Hence, you can only presume that those running the sport are acutely aware of all the issues they have themselves caused by their lack of vision... But that they simply don't have the capability, be it either financial or the individual leadership skill set, to unpick everything that obviously will need to be unpicked.. Because, given how glaringly obvious the issues are, they would have already started to do so if they were capable people wouldn't they?.. Having personally been fortunate to work with CEO's and Main Board Directors of one of the world's largest retailers, for many years, Richard Coleman comes across to me, as someone with the same political nuance and "bigger picture" skill set that I used to see and hear from those at that rarified level... Not sure how the significant number who are quite happy in their own insular, hobbyist world will receive him though... As his positive vision for the sport in the UK will be a million miles away from theirs..... Best of Luck to him though, UK Speedway is certainly as low as it has been for probably 60 years, so what an opportunity for positive change.. Should those who run it be open enough to allow it..

Lord only knows what on earth you are running on about. Have you got the link detailing the ‘knee injury’?

Hurt himself? He put Reid Battye out the game for nearly three months!

55-35

He’s a very impressive figure. Those that sometimes get the Speedway Star but not always, I recommend picking one up and reading the full piece about British Speedway as well the SGP and his thoughts on Emil/Laguta.

Moderation on this forum ? Yes please, it would see the back of you with all of your aliases with any luck. I live in hope.

Lord only knows what on earth you are running on about. Reading between the lines he had it booked before signing for BV as he had a free week, and signed for Lemo 'as long as yous let me go for my week in the sun, mate'. Just a pity we all get fibbed to about a 'knee injury'.

Going to be a very expensive night for the Bates family so lets hope they get a good crowd in tonight.

Freedom of speech is a human right so it's a tricky situation for the moderators to be in when it comes to clamping down on content.

I signed up to the new one after seeing a post on facebook saying that this one had ceased to exist and that the new one was replacing it. Clearly this was misleading - I won't bother with the "new" one as this one has far more history, members and banter.

Barely anyone. No logic in everyone using both as it'll just be the same posters posting the same comments on both forums to a point where it's just a waste of everyone's time.

Good interview with Richard Coleman on YouTube chatsgp

I think it's fair to say that given his actions since commiting those horrible crimes that Garrity has no respect for the rules & that's why he finds himself back inside. Only one person to blame for this.

Cook has let this team down masively this season missing them early crucial meetings which we could easily have won if he had been bothered to turn up. Just a pity Klindt was not available a couple of weeks earlier as I agree Kemp is not the same quality. I think Jackobsen is a decent rider but needs to just calm down a little and be patient instead of making stupid attempts to pass, he going to really hurt himself if he keeps that up.

Dave, could you provide us with details of how to lodge our objections, please?

Hence why I said "many fans" as it's not directed solely at you. We want and need change to move this sport on and genuine ideas CAN help. As much as they deny it, promoters, managers and riders do read this forum. Ideally, we should be paying £15 admission. Ideally we should have Zmarzlik, Laguta and especially Lambert over here full time. Ideally we should be have major brands as sponsors. We are where we are because British Speedway has been stuck in this mentality that the fans don't matter. A constant dumbing down but increasing prices on us. Because of such measures, even the hardest of hardcore fans have been picking and choosing meetings. Many have given up all together. At fault for all that has been and always will be the clubs owners/promoters. It's never ever the fans fault if a club fails. Seeing Coleman's message, so sadly, makes me laugh. Why, you say?? If this guy keeps "running his mouth" to improve the sport, the other promoters will run him out of town within 4 years. Shamefully, Sandhu, Frost, J.Chapman and to a point M.Ford all ran out of the sport for trying to be 'progressive', many before them and since have also come and gone. Very loudly, it needs to be said to a number of this current promotions:- "You're fukkin s#!t at your job."
