  1. The big thing difference is that in Football play offs there is a massive carrot for winning them hence why fans watch them ...having a play off cup that does not have the league title on line means nothing to the fans and hence why no one would watch it ...that is why we don't have the craven shield Jack Young play off cup any more as they have been tried and never worked ..
  2. If play offs were a promblem in speedway then why are they not a promblem in others sports . Yet another only in speedway myth .
  3. Not really Sid ...like many others I am going go if it's looks like a decent meeting or we have a chance of making the play offs if that means going to six home matches then so be it .....
  4. How many do you think they have in Sweden and Poland .......you could have five home meetings a year but unless there was something worthwhile to ride for the modern fan won't go
  5. ? of course I want to know ....as I said if they were so good and made loads of money why do you think they don't have them anymore . the reason was overall hardly anyone turn up, I think Swindon had one of there lowest crowds ever and clubs lost shed loads of money ...it's not hard to figure out
  6. So why do you think they don't have the Craven and jack young shields anymore etc ? because the fans loved them and they made loads of money.... or the fans never went meaning that clubs lost lots of money ? Are rather a team who won the league by ten won nothing rather than speedway clubs going bust when the fans stop turning up because the season is over by may
  7. Yet again a easy one and one answered time and time again and about 10 times on this topic fans would not go hence why the craven shield etc jack young trophy don't take place any more as well as making most of the season pointless and putting clubs in danger of going bust ...so it is rocket science
  8. You told been told a million times the answer to that question speedway is always going to lose fans no matter what the rules are if was losing fans even before the plays at bigger % so yet again a easy one to answer ..here is one for why if plays offs or so bad why do have them in England ,Sweden and Poland as well as all the other sports that used them ,,are all these people are wrong and would make more money by having them
  9. So that is one team in each what about all the others if your team was between 3 -7 are likely to go if there was something to ride for or not ?
  10. Yet again another post that is out of touch with the modern day fan ,..sadly these days people want to be in with a chance to win something etc to retain there interest ...a runaway leader would kill speedway by june and leave no interest for anyone ...your living in dream if you thinks crowds will go up if that happened
  11. If he was correct then the Pl would not have play offs ...so he is incorrect and and shows it's no more that a myth .
  12. Not really he choose the uk as he would get more backing and of course a wildcard that fast track him into the gp's ..
  13. Most of the fans want the plays offs ...it's a small number mainly from people over 55 who don't want them If you going to bring the ko cup back at all levels that is not a bad idea thou I reckon who might have to have them all on the same day ...the only doubt is would enough fans travel that far north to make it work money wise
  14. I agree with you ..not sure everything else is irrelevant thou ...if he thinks and he wants to Aussie he should have rode for them . I don't cheer him on just because he is British as I see him has a Aussie ...not everyone feels the same but I can't see the point of waving a union jack about to someone who's heart belongs elsewhere and does see himself as British .
  15. Not really the same ....not sure when I seen a sportsman sing another National Anthem while not singing his own ...the bottom line is Tai is Aussie at heart and only rode under the union jack as it open up more doors for him .
  16. Your so stupid I am not ever sure you even deserve a whoosh ...any news on Jerran Harts release date ?
  17. Started off open so the fans could see what was going on .now its all done behind close doors so we cant see how poole rigged it
  18. Poole have got newman and ellis and we are happy because we got wright as our first pick with no doubt someone crap to follow . I like charles wright dont get me wrong but yet again it looks like yet another put draft fot us again and another good one for poole
  19. Surely the best odds are that legend of 2015 Nathan Cleverley at 100-1
  20. Of course who said otherwise ? he's still boring thou .
  21. it was hardly unbelievable ..even when does come from 4th to 1st rather than his normal giving up he still makes it look boring
  22. I never seen Hancock make a unbelievable move ..unless you count making the gate every race zzzzz
  23. They would had last pick in the first draft rather than the best rider who then somehow gets seeded 5th meaning they get a good pick in the second draft as well .
  24. No point you saying anything else as you have been proved wrong ..even if there was a press statement from Poole it does mean that is a fact that Newman would been given a place in the top 5 place in the Poole like up.. it's more likely to be either a lie as it's Poole or spin ..so not only it is not fact you also don't tell it how it is .
