tellboy 3,666 Posted March 10, 2014 (edited) Anyone know who the other (not publicised to date..) members of the ZG team are? And also what time the practice session the evening before starts? Wondering if time to see that practice and still get to the EoESG for the meeting there on the Tueesday evening? I think practice starts at 5pm on Tuesday,with apparently an autograph session as well. Incidentally does anyone know what the start time is for the match on Wednesday.I just assumed it was 7:30pm which it says on th BSPA site,but on the King's Lynn website it says 7:00PM Edited March 10, 2014 by tellboy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Catabracadabra 14 Posted March 10, 2014 Should be a very good test. It will show the difference in standards and how strong and top class teams in the ekstraliga really are. I will be up there with the falubaz fanem, in green and yellow. If the racing is so so on track then the difference will be made up with the atmosphere and excitement we will make. If fans in the uk were more like us falubaz fanem then the atmosphere at most tracks would be so much better. At times in zielona gora stadium the fans and the atmosphere make up for a bad meeting and you don't even realise it's been a off par meeting as there's so much going on, exciting, bright, vibrant, loud, tribal,empowering.

Yes, see my previous post below:- Just remembered that I took this video of the crowd's antics at Zielona Gora-hope they don't bring so many on the 19th, or the home supporters will never get a look in! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DzwrA1FRoUg Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Would love speedway to have that loud and proud feeling. Over here The best we have are probably Cradley fans but that only equates to about 30-40 people. Some years ago now I suggested getting a supporter's group for this very thing at King's Lynn & about 3 people thought it a good idea. It would be the biggest grower for speedway in this Country, I firmly believe that. Edited March 10, 2014 by screamer Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bagpuss 10,789 Posted March 10, 2014 I don't think its something that will ever get off the ground in this part of the world screamer, generally speaking Norfolk people are too laid back and stand-offish. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Absolutely and it drives me nuts. Even when you Norwich fans burst out with 'On The Ball City' at a football match it couldn't sound more boring I'll make it happen one day, just got to find a plan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Pedaler 149 Posted March 10, 2014 I don't think its something that will ever get off the ground in this part of the world screamer, generally speaking Norfolk people are too laid back and stand-offish. And probably on average 20 years older than the typical Polish fan. Remember seeing the aged locals at Leicester looking on with disdain and disapproval at some travelling Polish fans at one of their meetings a couple of years back, and I keep hearing complaints about drunken Polish fans at Cardiff...how dare these people upset the quiet sedate life on the terraces with their rawkus, youthful, boisterous, vociferous and bawdy (oh,and did I mention alcohol fuelled?) support for their team? How dare they enjoy their night out? I'd expect that there will be similar complaints coming from the KL regulars too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
g13webb 4,254 Posted March 11, 2014 One of the most enjoyable meetings in recent years was when Poland came to Lynn for the WTC in 2012. The place was packed and the noise was terrific. Most coming from the Polish fans on the 1st and 2nd bends. If that could be rekindled on a regular basis I sure the crowds would flock back.... fantastic atmosphere.....

I remember in the PL days when the club sold airhorns for about £3, the place was rocking. Almost everyone went home with smiles regardless of the result. A lot of people hate them but they do add to the atmosphere dramatically. For atmosphere away teams use to like coming but now it's as dull as dishwater Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
semion 2,192 Posted March 11, 2014 Nothing to do with massive home wins then Screamer, Just fans happy cos people were blowing off airhorns all night ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yep, quite a lot of these threads would talk about the atmosphere rather than the whitewashed scorelines or poor quality racing. The club use to put on theme nights etc also. Made a massive difference to the enjoyment of the evening. It wasn't purely based on what happened on track and somehow we need to get that back. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
