Byker Biker 472 Posted February 22, 2013 That depends how you define 'negative' To some on this thread it is questioning the team or promotion in any way - in other words, you can't be critical at all without being labelled with that tag. To me, being negative is not having a good word to say at any point, being positive being the complete opposite. Both are almost certainly motivated by prejudice,are equally ridiculous and should equally be ignored. Fortunately, there is a third way - being realistic. By that, I mean coming to a judgement about the teams prospects on what we actually know from past seasons and the rider performances. I don't think its difficult. Spinny's excellent post above is both a typical example of that and a typical example of his contributions to this thread in that he says what he thinks (and, I suspect, what most think). You could do worse than simply read any posts he has made on this subject. I raised the issue following the way I perceived the tone of the thead having waded through pages. Both you and SK are balanced throughout as with your replies to me, thank you. If both your inputs were removed from the whole thread it leaves a lot of negative comments and doesn't paint the posters in the best light. There is a minority who seem to have personal issues with the promotion and I wouldn't have thought this was the platform to get them resolved hence my conclusion that there is too much whinging. It just seems to breed more negative behaviour. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Shale Shaker 106 Posted March 1, 2013 Jump on the tram to Hillsborough, quick pint in the Deep End, cut through Morrisons car park via Macdonalds to line your stomach, then round the corner to the New Barrack Tavern - not really much of a special effort required.

Very good mate, but you have taken me a long way round to get the Barrack Tavern, its about a 25 minute walk from my home. No the special effort is down to the fact that I have to be at work for 4.30am the next morning. So there won't be so many. Otherwise I will be the next morning. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Halifaxtiger 5,318 Posted March 3, 2013 . There is a minority who seem to have personal issues with the promotion I think that's true but their remarks can be ignored. Equally, though, there are those who won't hear a word against the team or the promotion and who aggressively attack anyone who even questions any aspect of the line up or the running of Sheffield Speedway, however reasonable those comments might be. They even go on to suggest that fans should simply be grateful that the team is running. To my mind, the latter is just about as low as a promotion (or its supporters) can get, because it implies that fans should just turn up whatever the circumstances and that they have absolutely no responsibility to attract paying customers. That's not just nonsense, its a disgrace. And remember Halifax if I am your Dad SKJ is your little brother. All being well see you, Squall & Spinny Junior on the 11th April, when no doubt I'l put the mockers on your boys again 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
