  1. 4 out of 7 at the training camp. Going well then
  2. I'm sure if something positive happens that adds to my experience of being a Stars fan I more than some do shout loudly. This winter from the club they've added nothing that I should get excited about. I feel the team is poor, training announcements irrelevant, link up with UEA that'll have no bearing on the sport as a whole and my experience. For all that an extra £1 for the pleasure. So far the winter break has been as poor as the 2017 season itself
  3. Sky will be rubbing their hands as the subscription costs rise and rise on BT. There will be a bust point for everyone and if BT are charging £35+ then they'll be in trouble and lose more subscribers than gain each football season
  4. I must be a rare breed when it comes to MRI scans, but I do go through a process to cope with them. Becoming a Speedway rider Lay on the bed, cage goes over my head (that's the helmet going on). Then I close my eyes. As the bed goes in I'm rolling to tapes for heat 1. Left thumb resting on that red button (clutch). As soon as I hear the 1st noise (usually a loud tic tic tic) that's the green light then the next noise (errrrrrrrrr) bang, tapes up and I'm away. Then just repeat. Even give some fist pumps a finger pointing to those behing the glass (the fans). Generally manage 15 heats per scan but if theres over run I just pop some wheelies, doughnuts etc It perfect for killing anxiety Best of luck Starry
  5. People are pointing fingures in the wrong direction in the banning of the girls. It's not the sports themselves that are removing them, it's the television channels putting the pressure on, trying to be politically correct. If Speedway insist the girls stay tv will pull the plug
  6. That's not what I meant, sorry. I believe the new main stand will effectively be on the back straight is what I was meaning.
  7. I've tried to make sense of the planning paperwork and I believe the Speedway start/finish with be at the other side to that main stand building
  8. Now not sure on this Belle Vue team. Could be top 2 but just as easily be bottom 2
  9. Using the 'Matt Ford' method it's obviously going ro be a 4.00
  10. Much of a muchness. The team strengths as a whole are more even throughout than last season. A couple of big boys have gone but at the same time NL standard riders have also gone from the reserves. Edit: Scrap all that, it's a load of dogs dangling ball sacks
  11. the reaction of those clubs will be interesting. Edit: Just had a quick cheak of the other clubs and it looks like Buster has tried to pull the wool over people's eyes again. Every team has held their price with Somerset and Leicester holding theirs at £17
  12. Another one that doesn't get it, and yes I am a parent thanks
  13. Doesn't matter how big a fan someone is, there's always a point that breaks that passion. Last season did that for me and I have every right to complain if I don't believe things have improved. In my opinion, there doesn't look to be any improvement for 2018 so I'm complaining about it Thank-You
  14. It seems you're not understanding. The club are trying to attract a new fan. If it's just the usual adult who always goes just this time with 2 kids instead of 0 the club makes a loss. They're chasing new adults to bring kids in for the future. This initiative is doomed to fail, I have no doubt
  15. The problem is, the adult is the one that has to take the junior to the meeting. If said adult thinks £18 is to much, he and the child misses out. That's the most likely outcome to newbies that they're trying to attract, punishing the regulars that's always been there.
  16. Typical speedway, better of with less people to support it Have fun
  17. And Peterborough is Friday or Sunday so a nice weekend bonus
  18. I'm allowed an opinion regardless of whether you see it as moaning or not. As of now to your great delight I'm sure, I'm no longer attending. There's no justification in increasing adult admission prices in an even further watered down league. As they say in Dragons Den - I'm Out
  19. I just can't get excited by this team. The majority of the team have been part of the failing team of the last few years. I'm just not seeing the average improvements in the riders signed.
  20. They have stated that the final 2 riders will be announced tonight
  21. Top 4 (in no particular order) Poole Swindon Wolverhampton Belle Vue 5-6 can put up a top 4 challenge Leicester Somerset Wooden spooners Rye House King's Lynn
  22. You're right. More than anything fans want continuity but only when things are going right. At King's Lynn though, they stick by rider's when clearly things ain't so and that's the issue. 2018 is turning into same old, same old. Iversen, Lambert, Rose, Kerr have been in a failing Stars side consistently, not saying any are to blame but if we want to improve, just shifting the furniture about doesn't cut it
