My team are having a good season, been at the top or near top all season, but the racing has been junk, so I stopped going. DC watches his Speedway at King's Lynn so that's exactly what he's saying. Racings crap, atmospheres crap but it's still value for money Apparently, Speedway fans should keep paying their hard earned £18 even though they're not enjoying the product If tracks close down, the finger is firmly on the owner, not being able to bring in enough punters to make it sustainable. That's where the buck stops. No blame and finger pointing should be had towards the fans at all. Fans are NOT responsible for the death of a once (and still can be) a great sport 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If supporters stop going to punish the current owner then they are effectively closing the club down. If that is what you want that is your affair , but it will be you that closes the club not the owner. Nobody is going to continue to lose money indefinitely. What supporters should be doing IMO is to create a club that another party would like to take over. The above is not in any way an endorsement of Mr Chapman Absolutely rubbish Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

semion 2,192 Posted August 15, 2019 Is it not the same in all sports , put out a poor team that struggles and you will be down to the bare bones, in terms of support. Make the play-offs and all the once/twice a year fans are queuing round the block to get in. If I paid £18 to watch a film and it was naff, would you expect me to go back the following week and pay 18 notes to watch the same film ? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And not only that,, you are expected to go back every week after, otherwise its your fault the cinema closed down. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If the showground closes, where would you lay the blame? It 100% isn't the fans fault for not wanting to waste money being not entertained is it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wealdstone 3,454 Posted August 15, 2019 Owners come and owners go, in my view it is important to leave something behind that a potential new owner will want. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
