Woz01 3,589 Posted April 20, 2016 'Mostly'? There's plenty who aren't on final salary pension schemes who have only the pitiful state pension to live on. There's a lot of people on here who really should stick to speedway rather than just spout what they read in their daily rag or hear down the pub. Yes mostly as in majority. As a group OAPs have more disposable income than any other age group. Your way of looking at things, those on minimum wage should also get in cheaper because not everyone has a decent wage. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They should have saved some money for their retirement then...instead of peeing it up the wall! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Skidder1 7,658 Posted April 23, 2016 (edited) Leicester v Poole moved to Monday 9th May from Saturday 7th to avoid Leicester City on Sky (at Leicester's request) and the GP qualifier at Kings Lynn (which would suit Poole) Good sensible co-operation between promotions..

Trees 2,814 Posted April 24, 2016 Enjoyed the racing last night, track could've done with some water though, dust was awful on the first bend. Can the car park attendants please try squeezing a few more cars into the car park too, would help away fans immensely! Loads if space available even when the car park full signs were up (lucky chosen few still got on I noticed ) ...... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He would be grateful if someone in authority could look into this for him. Thank you, Mojo. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shale Searcher 1,264 Posted May 2, 2016 Has he changed his email address that he set the account up from? I had the same problem, nobody got back to me either, so set a new account up.... They are not very good at the help side I'm afraid... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I actually live down the road from one of the most deprived areas in Britain. Ive read the ONS and IFS on this issue. Its easy to find. He's just regurgitating the garbage spouted by Mick Horton and his crew. Gullible is the description I would use As ive said above ive done a little bit of research into it. Ive educated myself on the issue, so who is the gullible one? Edited May 2, 2016 by woz01 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jimmy jimmy 298 Posted May 4, 2016 i have read here that the Leicester crowds have dropped away a lot over the past season? It appears to me that the problem is that the Promoters seem to have little empathy with the fans who come. The track is finally sorted out, there seems to be a ton of passing there now compared to before, but the customer/promoter relationship is breaking down, which is disasterous. The clubs that are successful have a "bond" between the supporters and the promotion (Glasgow, Poole etc), and the fans arent taken for granted. Hopefully, the BV promotion will do the same at the new stadium, and look to really promote the venue rather than just open it up and hope everyone comes. That seems to be Leicester's issue right now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shale Searcher 1,264 Posted May 4, 2016 To be fair...... The weather for every home meeting this season has been poor.... Except the Sky meeting... Its either threatened to wee it down, or it has wee'd it down, and its been chilly as well. Let's see when the weather improves first before we judge the level of support on the terraces..

flagrag 705 Posted May 4, 2016 The question is with other clubs starting to make moves to make teams stronger should Leicester look at replacing Seb Ullamek ? Two options could be Nicholas Porsing who has no Polish racing at present as was at Peterborough on Sundays or do you take a gamble on maybe Davey Watt if he is interested.
