AntiqueSteve 100 Posted July 20, 2017 Quite agree with these poster's !...lets hope the moaners stick to another site and leave this one to the fans than enjoy going to their local speedway track, we should be pleased we've got one to go to Same thoughts as me. Seems to be more iffy fans at Ippy than other tracks. Complain about their riders, their promotion, the track, the track preparation, the Team Manager, weather calls, you name it they will moan about it. A good team this year is wasted on the moaning fans. Quite Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CookieIpswich 249 Posted July 20, 2017 I've already said I'm not a real fan 😉 those who just "put up" will slowly see their sport die, and if that happens it would be a travesty to all those who have supported the sport over the years. This season has been worse than last season overall 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jenga 2,998 Posted July 20, 2017 fans dont have the clout to change rules/bikes/ etc or anything else thats wrong with the sport . so just go to support your team and as long as you come away entertained and seen a decent result from your team , keep going . if you dont go , gont come on here and moan about your team that you dont support in any way , apart from cheesing off other tru e fans of other teams and their teams posters . we all like to be entertained , but it is what it is . for one disgruntled fan , there are hundred more happy fans and posters . cant believe the number of ippo fans that dont go , but still moan about a team they no longer support !

CookieIpswich 249 Posted July 20, 2017 I'm not a die hard fan, but I "follow" the club through family links just as I do Leicester and just as I would do Exeter if they ever return. The clubs I follow I like to see do well, but as a non die hard fan I also don't see things through rose tinted glasses, I see it and call it how it is and my opinion is to be respected just like I respect your opinions. If I had no background in promoting, marketing and sport etc I'd probably not moan as much but as this is my background I can relate it to the sport and this isis where it loses every time You will never see me comment about bike set ups etc as I have no mechanical experience Just because you don't agree doesn't mean You can dictate where I post (pop me on ignore) Currently raining in Ipswich Forecast is for showers this morning and clearing later . Was raining here in Colchester but stopped now, just dull so hopefully clear up over in Ippo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Baldyman 6,243 Posted July 20, 2017 Dear oh dear, some people seem to have their heads stuck up their own butts. This is a forum, a place that's for opinions on things. Everyone is allowed an opinion and everyone is allowed to voice their opinion. Just cos it may differ from yours makes theirs no less valid. Pull ya heads out ya butts people. Anyway, hoping for a cracking meeting tonight with 2 full teams of their own riders going for it hammer and tongs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

2ndbendbeerhut 1,781 Posted July 20, 2017 so now its the fans's fault ??? Yes it is... the ones that go whatever the state of the sport. The "promoters" know that will get these fans whatever they do so don't bother to attract new ones. when these existing fans no longer attend is when the end is near ..... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
