Can we shut this thread.

May? It’s damn July now.

Nah

You know I wouldn’t mind a cuppa. No sugar please. I take it like I take my women. BLACK AND HOT.

Easy home win

My message said MAY, not is

It was only suggested he might be a good signing IF Riss returns to Oxford.

Sadly not live - being shown on Sunday 19th at 1pm UK time. Should be a stream.

Had a big off at Glasgow on Friday

New signing for Poole to replace Bowes 😜🤣

He had a bad crash at Glasgow on Saturday hit the fence coming out the 2nd bend and missed the air fence and ended up on hospital for 3 nights totally wrecked his bike think he could be out for a few weeks too

The engine room pairing of Howarth and R/R looks vulnerable. Kemp is going to really have to be on it as he will be getting at least six rides. Keeping Dan T at No.2 is baffling and upsets the team balance. I know the Douglas/Dan T pairing will deliver points but that is likely to be offset by the points return from the middle order combination.

Sounds like a good idea to me.

I was chatting with a once die hard supporter yesterday.He now visits occasionally and was stunned that it cost him £75 to get in to lynn with his 2 teenage kids to watch the tractors do more laps than the bikes.Say no more. Its just not value for money. Add in a drink each and a program and you've got bugger all change left from £100.

Never said he couldn't. I was questioning others saying it was a signing. You totally missed the point as per.

Pot Kettle springs to mind. 🙄🙄

The kicker on here is if I had gone on about free tickets that have been and are given out or discounted offers, all of which haven’t worked in the long term, someone would have replied with, “why don’t you try leaflets”? Maybe we should let everyone in for nowt like Lakeside did as that ended well. With regards the emails to the fan base, they have gone out to drum up business for Sunday as they often do and around 100 posts a month go on facebook and are duplicated on other platforms. My opinion is that most people think speedway as a regular biweekly event is a no go but a bank holiday speed fest is fine. Mondays meeting was boring and the dust wasn’t great so any newbies there would be unlikely to return. This happens occasionally and if you’re not hooked then it’s easy to give up as most people now enjoy staying in. It’s comfortable, the food & booze is cheap and the travel time to bed is hard to beat. If we could have plugged ourselves into social media or 100’s of TV channels in the 70’s & 80’s then we would have done so with the only pull being a special one off event coming to town every now an then.

He can guest at Worky on Saturday and at Poole next Wednesday if required.

Can see Fricke scoring big here in a tight battle

Other way round.

Your right. Unless Riss is returning and that’s freed him up

50-40

Kennet for Oxford at Scunthorpe scored 5 from 4 rides, but two of those were retirements, so just have to hope his machines are now sorted.

Yep and you reap what you sow. Don’t start bemoaning that punters have walked when you failed to listen to feedback. All on here and probably some lapsed supporters would not want the sport to disappear altogether but those in charge are testing the loyalty and patience of supporters across the spectrum. They do not appeal to the younger generation and are ostracising the hard core fan base who have been so loyal over the years by failing to be proactive to arrest the situation and put the sport on a firmer footing. None so blind as those who do not want to see sums up the BSPL and club owners/promoters who believe everything in the garden is rosey. Dream on the bunch of custodians who supposedly have the best interest of sport at heart, they don’t and they are failing every supporter and worse still every aspiring rider who wants to succeed but is not given the breaks they need or deserve.
