  1. Hardly guesswork . Ford has been trying to sell Poole the biggest club in the uk and can't find a buyer Workington closed down they can't find a backer but somehow you think people all want to buy Boro Speedway .? We all know why Buster brought the club has anyone ever said otherwise ? I doubt Ged regrets selling a losing business that no one else wants to buy he's been very lucky sadly people with zero business sense like you can't see that ..
  2. Hardly wrong as he sold the club like he said he had to . Buster was the only show in Town
  3. 9-10-18 he also said this '' As it stands though I do have to say that Saturdays meeting could be the last speedway meeting event at Peterborough . I don't what this to happen I but need someone to secure the clubs future . He go's on to say that he's does not want the club to close etc ..
  4. What closed for good ? not sure you seen the state of speedway but I don't think there are many people who want to run a business that is bound to make massive losses . Without Buster there is no Boro speedway ..be careful what you wish for
  5. Maybe Gavan will go to Rome ..I hear its nice when your team gets beat at Speedway
  6. Speedway is funny sport Swindon are just a rider away form having the best side .
  7. Take a point as long as we keep winning at home .
  8. Why was the Elite never the Elite .. the only problem was that people never understood the name or what Elite was suppose to mean ..We been over this a million times the Elite meant top division likes does in all the other sports when the names used . We have a local snooker league where the top division is called the Elite because it has best teams in Swindon it does not have Ronnie and Judd trump in it thou .
  9. One of the best meetings for a long time with Swindon saving themselves with 3 last gasp passes in the Meeting . I give Doyle a lot of stick at times and he look below his best again tonight and never thought he would come out for heat 15 but he did and pull off an amazing pass on the last lap making lines on the track that put him in danger of losing second place for the whole 4 laps . On a negative note another poor crowd on a lovely summers night against decent oppo and that has to be a worry going forward .Swindon as a team thou they are good to watch won't make a dent in in this league unless they can a get a decent reserve . It's bad enough at home but even worst away .
  10. Other sports that are much more televised don't have a problem .. another only in speedway thing .
  11. Yea because there are plenty of people who want to buy a speedway club !
  12. Shame to lose Tobi but it might end up better if we can get a decent reserve in .
  13. Never thought I would say this but to see Poole Speedway like that is sad .. No crowd a cow pat of a track and stadium looking like a tip ..The grass in the center green was not even cut .. The meeting itself was garbage and that is being kind .
  14. What a pasting that was .. Belle Vue should change there name to Jokers rather than Aces
  15. Not if there no top riders ….put lesser riders out and no where would be packed even you did ride once a year
  16. So if they were away not only were they be certain to lose the match the crowd would suffer as well .. The above example is why will still have guests because as nearly every idea lacks any idea about the money side of the sport
  17. And ? the stadium was full what the racing is like has little to with attendances as Belle Vue has shown us
  18. Correct ..the moment we stop using guests will be as successful as Poland and Sweden you can see it now fans who have stopped going will flock back once the news get's out . Clubs will have to take the phones off the hooks as the sponsors phone them up the sport will be awash with money and just like Poland with 20 ,000 purpose built staduims wlll arise just because we don't use guests
  19. The competitions were massive and people did care .what they never cared about was guests being used .
  20. imagine Cradley using a guest from Wolves or Swindon using a rider from Oxford ? it happened and no one lynch anyone or really cared . As has been said before thou guests are not ideal not one person has come up with a better and workable idea that won't effect crowds figures . The uk ran a system with guests and at one time had massive stature and still meant a lot .
  21. So if say Jason Doyle is out injured you replaced him with a championship rider of 4.50 ?
  22. Been here before ..the wilder media gave speedway loads of coverage when had guests not so many I grant you but still guests .. they also gave mass media to the World Championship that had some of most mickey mouse and unfair rules you can have . Speedway has always micke ymouse rules but its not stop it from being popular or getting Media attention . To much is made of what the public and the media think of the rules .
