foreverblue 6,096 Posted October 11, 2013 for a long time now the worlds best riders havent been in the elite league. you are lucky down at Poole you got 2 of them where have the Crumps Gollobs Pedersens Hancock Hampel Sayfutdinov Jonsson Lindback been for the last few years. Only a matter of time before Ward and Holder even Tai and NKI decide not to ride here. The league is dying dont know why Poole fans expect things to be different But if we can't as has been suggested fit riders like Hans,Troy,PK,Watt,Zagar, Harris, then it will be riders like Janowski, Buckowski or Skornicki as the top riders. i wouldn't be happy to pay 17 quid to watch that.

Us at Ipswich had a super team in 1998 but now we are in the premier league. I still go and the racing is good. Im sure true fans would go wether winning or losing or whatever the team was. I see your point though Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

foreverblue 6,096 Posted October 11, 2013 (edited) I would pay 17 quid to watch BUZZ and PK at the showground any day. Pure entertainment... I agree Buckowski is very entertaining, he may be your best rider at the showground, perhaps a bad example, as for PK he was one of the riders that maybe we wouldn't be able to fit in.

I wouldn't be happy either. That's why the admission cost needs to reduce at the same time as we lose the top riders to make savings. Alternatively, as others have suggested, perhaps the new team-building rules will concentrate only on those riders who are based in UK for the whole season - thereby saving all air fares etc 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
E I Addio 15,845 Posted October 11, 2013 Not entirely accurate!! Matt has a third party to sell advertising space in the programme and in the stadium. Matt and his co-promoters gets the actual sponsors in! There is abit more to it than that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Steve0 5,517 Posted October 11, 2013 so you would be excited to see a team without riders like Hans, troy or kildermand. Of course I would - we were PL for a number of years and I quite enjoyed it thanks 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The league is dying dont know why Poole fans expect things to be different I don't think most Poole fans do Gavan. We experienced a drop in attendance when we dropped into the then National League, but crowd attendances were soon back to normal once people realised the racing itself was just as good to watch and I'm sure that would be the case if the big boys don't ride next year. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LagutaRacingFan 1,936 Posted October 11, 2013 If the admission prices remain the same but the quality of riders drops then I'm giving up with speedway. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

stevebrum 6,824 Posted October 11, 2013 I would pay 17 quid to watch BUZZ and PK at the showground any day. Pure entertainment... PK yes, but i`m sorry i wouldn't pay £17 to watch Buzz at Monmore. Exactly. Let's not forget that the omly reason he was here in the first place was because he lost his job in Poland when his Polish club dropped him in order to save money once they were out of the play-offs. For some bizarre reason some think that he has suddenly changed his mind and actually wants to EL this and next season. Some are even including him in their proposed 1-7`s for next year. Bizarre! Not a chance he will be back unless Europe leagues shut down. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BluTiger 21,701 Posted October 11, 2013 PK yes, but i`m sorry i wouldn't pay £17 to watch Buzz at Monmore. Neither would i brum, but you would at the Showground surely. He did spank the World Champion there twice recently on his way to another max.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
