  1. Absolutely, you'll never catch me in that poop hole unless the Stars team are the visitors
  2. This is a strange one for me. Isn't Lambert old enough to race everywhere else except the UK? This fixture will be set up under Polish regulations I should imagine and not part of the BSPA. If that is the case he should be eligible for this and I agree, he would be stronger against what's available for that Polish team I can't remember how to spell. (Zielona Gora (copy paste from above ))
  3. Can I ask which track that was? I'm sure we (King's Lynn) allow free entry to registered carer's
  4. Most tracks normally price disability entrances as concessions but if a helper is required they are usually free entrants I believe
  5. I'm with you on this one. It's a "no frills" line up just solid. Passing will be at a premium this year.
  6. My understanding was that the council were paying for the construction and Belle Vue were to pay a fee of around £1.5m back to the Council over 50 years + yearly rent or something?? The builders will be receiving their money straight after completion so that won't be the hold up
  7. I thread isn't about hate. It's about rider's you just couldn't connect with. It's a very different meaning
  8. If the SGP's are only netting BSI £1.5m a year profit that is poor. Their business director should be fired but to the general public that seems to be a reasonable amount
  9. Interesting thread and I have quite a long list. These are what I can think of now Ryan Sullivan Ryan Fisher Gary Havelock Tomasz Gollob Darcy Ward Chris Harris Mario Jirout Kris Kasprzak David Norris Scott Nicholls Magnus Zetterstrom Ben Barker Andre Compton Martin Dugard Joe Haines Jerran Hart Eddie Kennett Nigel Sadler
  10. Just from statistics of my mates the Cardiff GP does nothing for British Speedway. I have 4 mates that I use to go to speedway with when at school, they now only do Cardiff. They see it as a one off spectacle just like MotoGP and F1. I now go to Cardiff with my Mrs, Mum, Dad, Sister, Brother In Law and 4 Nephews. Only 1 of my nephews, my Dad and me attend King's Lynn week in week out. So personally, the stats don't add up that the Cardiff GP supports British Speedway.
  11. There certainly is. Some got severe stiffy's when they'd seen him mention Aus as "home" while racing a sprint car.
  12. Nigel Pearson has just announced new 5 year deal for speedway on SkySports
  13. Ohhhhhhhhh, the haters are gonna love this Tai Woffinden is the new GB Team captain Congratulations fella
  14. Jeez TWK. First you wish some bird 'you fancy' looks like George Clooney, now you want to get your leg over with Phil Rising. When you actually gonna tell us the truth? This is actually like waiting for the Sky deal announcement
  15. I'll keep it short:- The last thing Speedway needs is published negativity
  16. And your defence is for exactly the same reason.
  17. NeilWatson, I see there's a date left open on the 25th March. Any chance a friendly fixture with us could be put together for this one? Need the Derby fix
  18. What would be a good year for Great Britain? For me, regardless of the results it will be the team manager & riders showing passion, aggression, anger, pride etc. Even if they finish last at King's Lynn I just want to know they care unlike previous years. That alone is improvement and Rosco is the right man to bring it Has my backing 100%
  19. I've always said, once speedway hits £20 per adult admission I'll stop attending regardless of how much I love my club. It's difficult to justify the prices now, especially to newbies. The pricing of speedway at the moment is all about sustainability rather than looking for growth. British Speedway need to keep the pricing as it is for the next 5-7 years as income v expenditure is an ever decreasing margin. The BSPA at the moment are getting things just about right, protecting costs and pricing over none sustainable quality of riders. In my opinion, British Speedway will only start a growth pattern once the"big boys" aren't required and we get back to breeding our own. I'm a firm believe that everything goes round in circles and over the next 5-7 years, if the BSPA get it right speedway will return as a know rather than a forgotten support but patience is required. Our time will come, I believe
  20. I'm hearing that speedway is going to be on the Fantasy channel. Guaranteed quality team riding
  21. My most favourite closed tracks are King's Lynn's Norfolk Arena, Peterborough's Showground and Sheffield's Owlerton Stadium but it won't be long until March now when they're up and running as normal
  22. Why not use them??? Both pay good money and a Premier League football team has Wonga as a main sponsor so clearly they do pay big. I'm not keen on money lender's but these are the best possible sponsor's to get along with a bookies.
  23. Regarding the question, my hope is simple. The racing is going to be better, the riders remain healthy and I'm sure as hell going to enjoy my speedway. Bring It On 2014
  24. I certainly did not say that, read it again Edit: Here it is:- The facts are clear. While Peterborough are not running a team the BSPA hold all the assets. At this point Peterborough have no say what so ever where riders go and how much loan fee's are paid as they're not seeing a penny. _______________________________________________________________________ There's an important word in the above you may have missed Ok not seeing a penny may be wrong but the facts are the riders are negotiated with the BSPA & the BSPA set the loan fee. What and if the former or current promotion see of that no idea. From our supporters meeting the Buster's comments were clear. Signing Iversen & Bjerre had nothing to do with Peterborough and loan fees to be paid to the BSPA.
