Baldyman 6,243 Posted June 1, 2018 (edited) Surely that song would be sung about all the holder clan. Oh and don't forget one for Jason Doyle Edited June 1, 2018 by Baldyman 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dontforgetthefueltapsbruv 10,706 Posted June 1, 2018 Think those chants tend to be 'insert you own choice of ₩@#£€&' Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Baldyman 6,243 Posted June 1, 2018 Omg, there is plenty of choice, could be singing that chant for hours on end. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If there is one thing the powers that be don't get (and trust me, there is a lot that they don't get) it's branding. I've never known a sport to be so out of touch with the modern era. It doesn't look that cool. If it did, youngsters would be flocking to Tracks to watch Speedway - and they aren't doing that. So - as I say - these bloody suits cannot be that 'cool'. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And IMO this is the major point Yes it is extra expense and yes you dont win because of a fancy suit and covers BUT any future upturn in the sport will be down to attracting quality higher profile sponsors They would only want to showcase themselves is this kind of professional manner 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Indeed, Mr Wagstaff started it at Lynn in 2000 when the riders all have silver bike covers to go with the black race suits. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Would they still be attracted if the team languishes at the bottom of the league?! No disrespect to Ippo - just asking.......! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
