Trees 2,814 Posted May 16, 2022 The promoters need to make televised matches cheaper, particularly now, maybe they ought to survey their crowd on a non TV night to see what would persuade fans to turn out!! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bald Bloke 3,287 Posted May 16, 2022 (edited) Get rid of Sam. Don't pan to the 500 crowd and say it's a good crowd. Don't show them. FFS Edited May 16, 2022 by Bald Bloke 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Col 854 Posted May 16, 2022 A more interesting & enjoyable meeting than I'd expect from Foxhall. Sheffield put the point the Aces nicked from their visit into perspective. Foxhall was always going to be the one track Musielak would struggle on this year. King seems to be trying to hard, Batchelor looks spent, why was he in heat 15? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They also need to make them less tedious. Waiting while adverts and interviews play out at home is so so boring in the stadium. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Col 854 Posted May 16, 2022 Just now, norbold said: Exactly. I said as soon as it was announced, "So Ipswich don't want to win then." Well watching it on catch-up and skimming all but the races I wasn't sure which riders were who Riss & Barker and the camera operators don't help, but Witches needed a 5-1 - King hadn't had a good night but was only option to partner Doyle. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
keepturningleft 589 Posted May 16, 2022 Sadly Sam will be in danger of being remembered as the worst ever speedway broadcaster in all of human history rather than the top rider he was. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Of course they should do... As they should have done for a long, long time.. Two hours of free advertising for the sport so maybe they should at least try and make it look popular..? Restaurants put you in the window tables early in the evening for a reason and that is to make their establishment look "popular".... As they know that people are "sheep like" and easily led and influenced... Speedway showcases itself with rows and rows and rows of empty seats.. A bit of a waste of a two hours advert I would suggest... Edited May 17, 2022 by mikebv 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
