Gusets? Do they need support? :o

Errr NO!!! So that the Promoter doesn't have to take a loss because half of his Crowd are attending a Football Match. By delaying the start they can do BOTH!!! A very sound business decision in my opinion - the Promoter would be mad not to change the start time. Whether YOU like it or not Football is way bigger than Speedway these days - accommodations have to be made in order to co-exist. It might be an idea to think your argument through before you Post unwarranted criticism of one of the better Promotional setups in the Premier League.

Agree - doesn't that make the 'Play Off' System so pathetic.

Try watching an episode Eddie. I think it is quite funny. I's a bit rude in parts - but it makes me laugh anyway.

HaHa. :rofl:

Damn!!! I was going to Post that - you beat me to it.

Quiet Stewie.

Too right old boy, too right.

It's much better on the Wireless.

It is if you are a casual visitor like me. Obviously myself and others don't matter - well that's OK then. Bloody Southerners.

Naughty. :nono: :angry:

Kathryn Tickell terrific. The Scots might claim it back if they get Independence. I'm a big fan of Pipe Bands.

As a casual reader of this Thread - I couldn't understand some of the Initials. Ah well!! My loss. :rolleyes:

Nice one. :rofl:

EH!!!!! Very true - and I didn't like them then either. orion - I am doing my very best to understand your Posts. Do you mean: "doesn't hold much water. Only asking - but that is two in a row I have struggled with. In fact I am still not sure about the first one.

Wow!! I should say so. Some really cracking Riders there.

Thanks for the update on Matty screm. Here's hoping his pelvis heals quickly and as painlessly as possible.

I would say that they probably are - but - then again I think that the Elite League only charge a Pound or two more, yet pay out, it seems to me large sums of money to certain Riders. That, to me, is what makes the Elite League unsustainable.Lower the Prices and you might attract one or two new Supporters but I can't see the Riders accepting a drop in Pay so, because of this, the League would be in even more trouble.

Hoping for another win this week. Hope the Weather is kind.

Well - if you label yourself Elite I suppose it's inevitable. If you are the BEST then, in business terms, you have to charge more than the minnows. Whilst I'm not sure I agree with the Premier League Promoters - I can at least understand their point of view. Drop Elite League Prices to Premier League levels and some may be tempted away to watch the Elite League. The stance of the Premier League Promoters makes good business sense. I might not like it, but I accept it.

Causes some trouble this KKS person. :shock:

Thanks for that SCB.

Great News that Matty and Aaron are going to be OK. I really feared the worst. That was one of the worst accidents I have ever seen at Speedway.

Then perhaps the Elite League Speedway is headed for the Premier League - to answer my own question. I bloody hope not though, to be serious for a moment. :o

................ and many don't want either the Double Points Rule or the Tactical Substitute Rule. Some of us would very much like to see the Result of the Meeting being decided on the Racing. THAT is what we go to see. If someone takes a hammering - tough - it happens. Fiddling/Contriving Results will always turn people off and your credibility is lost. Once that happens - Speedway will be left to the 'diehards' like me. But even I am getting very disillusioned and fed up. I no longer look forward to the Meetings as in former years. Difficult to argue with that. Many moan about watering down the Elite League and yet they accept National League Reserves. I know WHY they did that but, surely that in effect waters down the Elite League too. Have Prices dropped because of this? Genuine question, because I don't know. If folk are expected to pay the same or more for a watered down Product - then where is Speedway headed?
