The White Knight 9,039 Posted August 15, 2014 so the promoters can watch football instead of PROMOTING speedway very sad . and people ask me why i dont go to the speedway now . Errr NO!!! So that the Promoter doesn't have to take a loss because half of his Crowd are attending a Football Match. By delaying the start they can do BOTH!!! A very sound business decision in my opinion - the Promoter would be mad not to change the start time. Whether YOU like it or not Football is way bigger than Speedway these days - accommodations have to be made in order to co-exist. It might be an idea to think your argument through before you Post unwarranted criticism of one of the better Promotional setups in the Premier League. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tsunami 10,219 Posted August 15, 2014 so the promoters can watch football instead of PROMOTING speedway very sad . and people ask me why i dont go to the speedway now . Wrong again, and on the same point. Nowt to do with the promoters getting to the match. All about making it a time convenient for those supporters and track staff to get to the match and also attend their speedway meeting. Plenty of promoting goes on which you will never know about, but keep saying it and you'll think your right. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gaz 214 Posted August 16, 2014 Of course its a sensible decision. What about the fans who go to the match? I would rather stay and watch the full match before going to the speedway and knowing I will get there in time for the start. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Big Diamond 51 Posted August 16, 2014 Its not even up for debate that speedway should be later and avoid people missing because of the football. Its not just ths speedway all sports in the region do it its common sense as only one team wins that battle. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Big Diamond 51 Posted August 17, 2014 Hope we can get the win but expect better Monarchs than at Berwick and Somerset and if millsy is missing would be a blow considering his excellent peformances at home and little options for a guest. However Diamonds have been on a good run at home recently which hopefully will continue tonight. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
