Haza

Freesport / Premier Sport soon ditched live Polish speedway week 2 and it’s gone not on till 11pm in my opinion they won’t show it live while they have any other live sport to show on a Sunday afternoon even live tiddlywinks will get priority over speedway

Thanks for clearing that one up

Far better to call off as we did than have 8 heats like they did at Rye House then call it off all that does is pee fans off - from my point of view I’d not attended if Lynn had been on last night will take my own personal view of the weather and the likelihood of rain and conditions I and many more have been mugged too many times by speedway promotions and at £18 a meeting it not going to happen again .

After the damage that was done on meltdown Thursday by riders and promotion and other times when the fans have been mugged in the past some fans have made it clear they will not attend meetings unless the weather is dry and settled if that’s a consideration of the call off I’m not sure . Anyway I’d better not be negative or I will get shot down

Definitely don’t want to forget stock cars because most definitely the stadium wouldn’t be viable without them it would have been flattened years ago - so if you’ve not got a stadium how do you run speedway ?? Stock cars are a very important part of KL how could the Stadium survive on 14 speedway meeting ?? Charge £30 to get in maybe .

100% right on dangers of speedway . Stock cars you can knock them if you like but without them I doubt there’d be any speedway at Lynn - and we’d still be watching on muddy terraces Stadium improvement wouldn’t have happened either -and you say they aren’t every week I’d take a look a the fixture list if I was you - they are definitely doing something right with the crowds they get could it be seen as value for money ? stock cars isn’t for me but it’s getting to the point speedway isn’t either .

I was talking about speedway not F1

Couldn’t be in a any bigger mess than it is now I’d have thought

Hopefully they are listening and early indications say there are and definitely some fans won’t attend unless it’s a dry settled evening guess it’s a case been mugged too many times .

The clubs text messaging service still in operation just had a text to say meeting postponed

Another good call in my opinion.

What’s the point in looking at stadiums that’s long since gone ? Can say the same about many many more clubs . It’s the total lack of forward thinking dating all the way back to the 1970s in those days 13 heats and a second half was enough times have changed speedway hasn’t that’s one problem- another in the glory years promotions should have invested in the future 80cc for instance the Danes Swedes and Poles have all done this what have we done ? For me though one of the biggest reason for the decline of Speedway in the UK is the loss of weekend fixtures especially in the top league - an away fixture on a Saturday has much more appeal than even a home fixture on a Wednesday.

Trees is the most blinkered speedway fan I no of lol never criticises the promotion and on delicate sudjects sits on the fence . As you say would make a great promoter or even politician

It’s like anything in life it all stems from the top and works it way down to the bottom- if the BSPA to promoters enthusiasm is low the fans enthusiasm is low - we think just 15 heats is enough to attract fans which it clearly isn’t - it the whole race night experience that’s poor - also the Poles have weekends as there race days that makes a lot of difference to a Wednesday night the Poles also run a slick meeting 2 hours done and dusted we could learn so much but again we fail to to do so .

Looking at the forecast for tomorrow and Wednesday think that more or less rules us out of attending that’s unless they have it wrong still time for weather to change hopefully.

Sounds like Horton selling off the family silver.

All clubs have the same chance to sign riders as any other clubs if they chose not to do so for whatever reason that’s up to them it’s not Poole fault that rider want to ride for them surely? ask any young footballers that doesn’t want to play for Man United for instance. I’m perhaps missing something but are Poole really that much stronger than the rest of the league ? as for someone saying they could do an Ipswich what they did in 98 I’d be amazed if they did - yes Poole have a good side as they do most years I’d expect nothing less .

All helps to get a bigger than average crowd when Batchelor visits with Swindon so well done Troy on that one .

Don’t you criticise the club or even say they did the right thing -none critical reply won’t want to upset the club I guess .

Had it been on last night I’m one that definitely wouldn’t have turned up - the weather has to be 100% for me not being mugged again by speedway promotions

Either way the club made a wise decision calling it off when they did in my opinion. Lets look forward to next week now and get some better weather and get our home season under way with a win .

The even bigger fiasco is to have a repeat of meltdown Thursday and basically that’s the scenario we could have tonight - with many fans saying they will not go to meetings if there is any possibility of rain after being mugged in the past the attendance would definitely be down tonight - I was happy and still am happy that they made an early decision it’s better to call off as we have this time than get fans in the stadium on a wet night and then call it off all that does is pee everyone off .

I thank the club for making an early decision on Wednesday I’d have thought that was probably positive? though I’d sooner the sun was shinning and the meeting was on probably another positive? Anyway this Wednesday is off let’s look forward to week Wednesday when hopefully we shall have much better weather and have a great opening meeting.

Yea I’m feeling the same with some of your comments zzzzz

Well that isn’t what we all wanted to hear but it’s far better to call off now than having a repeat of problems of the past - so we’ll done for making a early decision.
