Workington V Plymouth Pl 4/6/16 7pm
topaz325 replied to Comet Dan's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
Plymouth select team kept the scores quite close until heat 11 then the Comets eased away for a comfortable win, not too many notable races but heat 11 was the stand out one with Vissing, Roynon and Barker having a great scrap with Roynon just edging out Barker on the line but it was very close!! A very accomplished 15pt max for Ricky Wells who was backed up well by Vissing, Hansen and a rejuvenated Adam Roynon. -
Poole Pirates Vs Belle Vue Aces 23/5/16 Sky Meeting
topaz325 replied to Shaleshifter's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
If you are going to referee a meeting badly at least be consistent!! -
Workington V Somerset Plkoc 14/5/16 7pm
topaz325 replied to Comet Dan's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
Well done to Somerset , the better team won on the night, not a good start by the Comets, 2-4, 2-4 then 1-5! Not helped by two engine failures in heat 3. Yes bit of a stop start season regarding fixtures which is not very good for fans or riders, seems to be the way with a lot of teams though? Not helped by a few rain offs too. Not sure if the late organisation of a pairs meeting will attract many casual fans though? Still better than no Speedway at all thougth. -

Bt Sports Costs
topaz325 replied to sportmaniaphotos's topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup
Paid for BT sport recently....may stop sky sports next year its all getting a bit much and GPs usually much better than EL. -
Which team could make the change....
-
Finally bit the bullet and got bt sport Paid far too much hey but im a Speedway punter and im used to getting ripped off.
-
Apologies but going over old ground again.... Personally speaking, no long drawn out meetings, no TR rule, stop ripping the fans off with rained off meetings and keeping the entrance money!!!! Better presentation. Already this season we have the Belle Vue saga, the WSL postponement, Redcar v Workington cancellation......just to name a few. I have virtually given up on away meetings now.
-
I do not know if this has been posted before on the forum but a prediction for the winners of the GP, SWC, EL and PL. Apologies to the National League in advance..... GP. A tough one but out on a limb, Peter Kildemand. SWC. Denmark but quite open this year i believe. EL. Poole. PL. Peterborough.

Yes Trees , would be nice !!

I agree with SCB but i still get downhearted (?) with the politics of the sport and the way some promoters treat the fans, i know quite a few people who do not attend anymore because of this....and some promoters are still confused why people are staying away. Some people will only put up with so much. The GPs and the SWC usually are very good and professional (Joker aside) and a good League match can also be very entertaining if two teams are evenly matched and given a decent track to race on.

Some of the Moaners posts are hilarious, just imagine if they had beat Glasgow....... -
Tactical Ride - Premier League Cup
topaz325 replied to bigcatdiary's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
Just scrap the chuffing TR rule for every competition. -
Cannot see what all the fuss is about if Tai does not want take part its his choice , personally i agree with his deciscion...many riders are far too busy to fit in so many meetings these days, British Speedway has changed and is well down the order of Influential Leagues.

Workington Comets V Berwick Bandits 3/4/16 7:30pm Border Trophy
topaz325 replied to Comet Dan's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
BBC weather for Workington says fine all day, are you coming up for this meet Steve? -
Some of my relatives travelled to a meeting at Berwick a few years ago, it was raining all the way there and raining when they got there but the turnstiles were opened and my relatives paid to get in.......it was rained off a short time later....no refunds given...my relatives or myself will not be returning to Berwick Speedway anytime soon.

Periscope. A Promoters Nightmare App.
topaz325 replied to Steve Shovlar's topic in Speedway News and Discussions
A few interesting points highlighted in the Star this week in the Fans Forum item Social media strategy......"We all find it very restrictive and strange that we have to ask to put our own stuff on our own websites, but there is a very positive mood for that to be ironed out and go forward with it" Keith Chapman. Abandoned meetings/Heat 10 rule "On re admissions, i dont think its something weve had to deal with at Scunthorpe. Sometimes mother nature intervenes and its beyond our control and your battling to get to heat 10. But it has been abused once or twice , and i can assure you that has been noted." Rob Godfrey "I can only speak for myself at Kings Lynn, and when we have a wet meeting our crowds dont drop at all, because ive always had the policy that i give refunds at the gate". Keith Chapman. -
Ty Proctor is not coming over now and another rider is being lined up to join the Comets.

Sorry now edited, keyboard frenzy!!

Even for you Jenga this is drivel of the highest order.

Very poor from Edinburgh, no doubt the Moaners promotion will come back with some valid reason (poor excuse) as to why they objected.......
