Any news on the new Co Promoter ? Id have thought Robin Brundle would have been announced by now if he is that is coming on board . Or maybe he or Buster decided against it in the end .

if there is no tv cash or a major league sponsor I expect admission prices are going to have to go up to cover the short fall

for the life of me I really can’t think why that is the case

how about making season tickets worth having unlike Kings Lynn last season at start of the season you was one meeting better off but by end of season was worse off would have been cheaper to pay on gate what a disgraceful way to treat season ticket holders ? How about buy before 31st Dec you gain 4 meetings if you live 35 miles from the track another meeting off so 5 meetings saved if again bought by 31st December.

Lamberts biggest problem is his parents he need to dump them out of the pits employ an experienced mechanic and basically become his own man its time to move on from Mum and Dad . I agree hes not progressing as a rider and at times when he rides in heats of riders of same age he looks very ordinary.

plastic sheeting is obviously much much cheaper but I’m talking covers like Vojens have used in the past any hint of rain I stay away

can’t see how - I’ve heard 20k to 25k price tag quoted how on earth is that viable for clubs that get say 1000 to 1500 fans per meeting ? Far cheaper to call the meeting off - it’s a no brainier if the crowds was 4 to 5 thousand but on current levels will never happen .

id take Nick Morris over Lambert eveytime .

those 3 school age children are the exact age group clubs need to look after they are the future long term fan - if meetings started 7-30 a 9-15 finnish should be the norm - I’ve friends that’s stopped going basically because they start work 4 or 5am again they don’t want to be there at 10-30 pm - clubs soon have to take notice of fans needs or there will be no fans .

definitely on a week night presentation should be slick and the meetings should be done and dusted by 9-15 at the latest -fans wouldn’t feel cheated by this 15 heats is 15 heats if it’s spread over 90 mins or 120 mins it’s still 15 heats - sometimes a KL it’s the total lack of urgency that gets me .

absolutely spot on - on a Wednesday night at Kings Lynn this is just what’s needed with an early start at work or School the next day it would definitely encourage more fans to attend- the slightest thing put us off going weather being one of them slightest hint of rain we stay home and if I’ve had a busy day at work I think can I be bothered to stand around till 10pm for what is effectively 15 minuets of entertainment I use that term loosely. 7.30 first race would definitely encourage more to attend and some urgency shown to keep the meeting moving along as well .

one reason there are so many other things to spend our hard earned money on here and they are better value for money - myself and my other half are now members of Nottinghamshire country cricket club for £206 not each thats for us both we get a reduced cost membership because we live 35 miles from Trent Bridge we can attend all county championship all 50 overs games all T20 matches they are all included in the membership we are treated with respect by the club we are valued by the club we are looked after by the club basically they cant do enough for you - now we have KL speedway they basically dont give a toss about season ticket holder and why buy one no incentive what so ever in fact in 2017 you paid more than had you paid on the day - the club treat die hard fans for granted give them no respect to fans . Cricket is not everyone cup of tea granted but its all about value for money and not being treated as a fool .

how about having proper shale like we used to have red in colour rather than dark clay almost soil based what’s used now .

that is a very good point - wrestling sport/ entertainment is a farce yet people in there thousands go watch it - in speedway the season definitely just past was a farce yet crowds Id guess have fallen again - as you say wrestling is promoted marketed in a big way not saying speedway could do anything on that scale but its almost 0 % effort in promoting in speedway . Fans need value for money be entertained and treated with respect.

all my none speedway friends wouldn’t go anywhere near the sport they thinks it’s on par with wrestling.

the sport is doomed if thats all they got to talk about are these promotions so blind ? they really have there heads buried in the sand .

you’d better get used to old farts as you call them with no effort given to attract the younger generation along to clubs OAPs will be the majority before too long .

well they definitely do still do the text service as I still receive them .

same here regarding rain the weather needs to be dry and settled.

while clubs make 0% effort to attract new fans the future is bleak

what the powers that be have failed to realise is there are so many other sports out there to spend money on theses other sports have moved with the times speedway sadly hasnt - also the weekly speedway habit has been broken it was more or less speedway at our home track every week from March to October the weeks we have no racing we do other things and other things become a habit . Speedway is broken in the UK sadly .

he won’t do no worse than what we started the 2017 season with at no1 or what we ended the season with without a no 1.

lets hope so

How about making season tickets a more viable thing to buy rather than just saving one meeting how about save 4 meetings if bought before January 1st and offer £20 off as well if you live 35 miles from the stadium - I always used to buy one but with little incentive there really is no point - in fact 2017 season ticket holders paid more than if theyd paid on the gate .
