Belle Vue V Lakeside Wed 3rd August
iainb replied to mdmc82's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
Hey Phil, thank you for your kind words, you sound like a really nice bloke. I hope you will be happy standing by yourself in a brand new empty stadium wondering where all the fans are, not realising that they're all fed up of being continually mugged off by so called speedway promoters -
Belle Vue V Lakeside Wed 3rd August
iainb replied to mdmc82's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
Shocking behaviour on BV's part tonight not informing the paying fans that the oppositions main man was not going to be there, news only broke after 7pm, so even if you'd done your homework (as I always do) it was too late. Check their Twitter feed and there's nothing about it. They and Lakeside (as they are just as guilty) should take a leaf out of Coventry's book and inform the punters in advance they have with no KK at Leicester on Saturday and have informed the fans, for this reason I won't be going to Leicester. It's alright saying going to any event and somebody could be absent... I went to see Axl/DC at the Etihad a few weeks ago, fortunately they had a replacement and didn't expect the rest of the members of the band to each sing a song in the absence of BJ! -
Belle Vue V Coventry 30th May, 2016
iainb replied to Aces51's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
If they want to encourage people to print their ticket at home and cut back on the queues and meeting delays, they've got to start charging the same price at the window. Some people will not pay the extra £1 on principle. -

Belle Vue V Coventry 30th May, 2016
iainb replied to Aces51's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
But be aware that it's an extra £1 per ticket for the privilege of doing so... literally a licence to print money! -
If The Elite League Goes Down To 7 Teams In Mid Season, Would It Be Able To Carry On Running?
iainb replied to Hamish McRaker's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
yes, but what encourages a Swede or a Pole to turn up to a TV match that puts a British punter off? -

Look at the Swedish Speedway, they have live matches with big crowds, Poland live matches with huge crowds... what is British Speedway doing wrong? -

Leicester Lions V Wolverhampton Wolves, Sat 21st May @19.30
iainb replied to Shale Searcher's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
The ref had a shocker last night, how he missed Auty blatantly touching the tapes in heat 1 is beyond me, Bech went down by himself in the first running of heat 2, was allowed back in and the meeting was left to drift along with rain falling. Watt was a disgrace, all riders showed good effort on a difficult track except for Watt and to be fair I've seen him perform the same in decent conditions too, this no points no money argument I find hard to believe, I bet he didn't get £0.00 for the meeting. If he doesn't want to ride speedway why doesn't he go home and get a proper job? -

Belle Vue V Swindon 11 May, 2016.
iainb replied to Aces51's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
Negatives out of the way first. Getting in was a total shambles, queued up for 40 mins expected to see the place heaving when I got inside and was amazed how few there were in (for the crowd at the ticket office), the staff in the ticket office did look very stressed! Then had to walk all the way round the outside of the stadium to gain entry to the south stand, I don't know why you can't just get in at the main gate and walk around, I hope this changes. The track reminded me of the Carduff track and produced about the same quality of racing, hopefully this will get better when the track matures. And now for the positives.... wow! what a place! viewing was awesome and the place has atmosphere, compared to the old place that was sometimes like attending a funeral. The teething problems will get sorted out. I just hope there is a league in future years for the club to run in -
Probably at Leicester preparing for next year

David Hemsley Has Resigned As Promoter Of Leicester Speedway

So Mick Horton to move the Coventry outfit into Leicester next season and some other poor unfortunate PL club sent up to the EL to make the numbers up. Will anybody give me 5000/1? -

Can't really agree with the riding abroad part of this, this was held in Britain and the Brits still weren't good enough. Lambert unlucky? Just not good enough yet, at least he has time on his side. Cook unlucky? a bad last after he looked like he was going to go through the card and a silly fall -
