  1. Demographic information on viewers/crowd is only good if the figures are helpful. Based on my first hand experience as Advertising Sales Director of the then broadcast partner (which is over 15 years ago) speedway fans are to old, to male, to poor and come from the wrong socio-econimic profile to be attractive to most advertisers. By comparison and based on 2019 broadcast information the average netball viewer is 30 years younger, and earns twice as much as a speedway viewer. Where Demographic information would be helpful is in developing the product to attract a younger more affluent audience which will be more attractive to commercial partners within the stadium.
  2. The issue with that is you pay VAT on the ticket but not the programme (id sold and not part of admission) so it dents the profit.
  3. Isnt he a Leicester asset who are also owned by the Bates.....
  4. It won't be. I can't see Glasgow giving us Sarjeant on loan after the Gaffer made the Tigers buy him after they were caught (again) making an illegal approach for him back in 2019.
  5. Opposite a country park and near a nature reserve. Noise pollution could still be an issue there I would suspect.
  6. Are Sheffiedl not announcing their 1-7 on Wednesday 1st December? I think that you will find most teams have a minimum of 5 riders signed, while some teams have clearly had their 1-7 signed for a while and are just timing their announcements to get maximum media exposure.
  7. And that may explain the initial shape of Leicester's track. LoL
  8. I like the way the team has been developing with the first four signings. Not sure why Rowe is a left field name. Based on my experience at a couple of Team GB training days earlier in the season I would rank Rowe behind Flint & Brennan but ahead of Palin and everyone else.
  9. Or maybe to do with the Bates owning Leicester & Sheffield.
  10. I dont't see the relevance of this to José Mourinho?
  11. 1. Not former. 2. Indeed my source is Scottish but not the one you are suggesting.
  12. You are correct on both counts I believe.
  13. Oh yes it is. And it would be a Great signing.
  14. Could we possibly see a new man in the hot seat with an alleged approach already having taken place to an existing British Team Manager?
  15. Because in 2020 teams were built to a figure below the 45.5 points needed to win a meeting.
  16. Because teams were built around a low average so all riders should have increased their average
  17. I will be surprised if he is not in the Championship and I would think a return to Scunny would be his favoured option.
  18. Club have just announced on twitter that Andersen, Douglas & Kennedy are not returning for 2022.
  19. Can we jujst deal with the important question - who is inside the Lenny costume? I've heard its Norrie Allen.
  20. Why would any TM win the toss holding a ten point advantage take gate choices in heat 15, incredible call. Had to be 1 n 3 all night long. But then again when Cami has been in charge they have only won the pairs if my memory serves correctly. As the Big Man himself would say FTT!
  21. At present its 75mm with nothing about the riders lining up in a straight line to the kerb
  22. It gets my vote but only works if the Start Marshal gets all riders to start within 75mm of the tapes. This makes it much harder for a rider to roll but I think most SM's are more interested in being a riders mate rather than discharging their responsibility.
