King's Lynn v Swindon 02/05/2018
wealdstone replied to tellboy's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
Any advice re road works on roundabout? Got properly lost the other week trying to get back on A10 to Cambridge. Diversions took us up A47 towards Peterborough. Sorted eventually but not pleasant experience. -
This looks to me to speed up the decline in Speedway.

Fewer meetings and Rain Offs
wealdstone replied to wealdstone's topic in Speedway News and Discussions
The replies received are exactly what I was getting at. People will simply get out of the habit of going. Probably the authorities will react by cutting meetings to 10 heats and increasing admission and programme costs -

Way off track , however I did go there quite a lot mid seventies. Tommy Price may give you a clue. Mind you I can remember rolling starts and black tracks -

Totally understand your point but from where I come from it was Thursday or sometimes Saturday. -

Can't blame the Mafia for rain offs , but imo they have got the rest wrong. -
Peterborough v Ipswich CS Tuesday 24th April
wealdstone replied to bigcatdiary's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
Just pleased it was called off early rather than last minute. Sincerely hope the actual weather justifies the decision. If not accusations from the anti Peterborough brigade will claim it was due to concerns re crowd level. -
Probably keep quiet as if truth be known there would be a adverse effect on crowd on tuesday

So what have Panthers got to do to go through

Please can we have clarification of the position from Panthers management.

King's Lynn v Belle Vue 18/04/18
wealdstone replied to g13webb's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
Hope that he will now dispense with 50p surcharge on debit cards. He carried on with this even after it was in the process of being made illegal as the law was not yet in place. -
Peterborough v Ipswich CS Tuesday 24th April
wealdstone replied to bigcatdiary's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
Perhaps the bosses can ensure that the Bar ( at least the building) is open. Also no delay between heats 14 and 15 -
Think you are right. I went to the Final that year in Poland. . Chorzow if I recall.

Not sure if this has been mentioned before but my foremost memory of Ivan was during the qualifying stages of the World Final at White City where he fell off at the start and remained lying down until the race was stopped. The referee excluded John Davis although Bob Dugard pointed quite clearly to the Davis's tyre tracks which showed do deviation at all that could have caused Ivan's fall.

Lakeside v Peterborough frid 6th april 8 pm CS
wealdstone replied to waco's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
No problem with parking more than ample on site. However the Stadium leaves imo a lot to be desired. Take a chair is my advice. Last time I went mud terracing was the norm. -
Should also mention the indecent haste that another luminary of the sport rushed to take the 30 pieces of silver

The winter of discontent was caused by MF falling out of his pram after losing to Coventry and then seeking vengeance and retribution..

The mafia can and do just about anything they want.Every now and again they are pulled up by the ACU but ignore this as much as they are able

I thought that you had to be under power and on way to tapes

Very sad although a long way for me living in Harrow at the time, went to Wimbledon and Hackney most weeks during the seventies

Such is the current level of ambition

I am sure this decision gives no pleasure to anybody including the organizers who have suffered enough flack already. There is likely more to this than meets the eye and my own view would be that the EOES having forced a change of start time have refused Speedway sufficient access to the track for adequate preparation . As EOES hold all the cards and have already threatened to take their ball home the Speedway organizers are scared of upsetting their landlords -

Sure your comments about EOES are correct.
