Swindon v Belle Vue. Thursday 27/09/18.
orion replied to Sidney the robin's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
This has to be the worst speedway match of all time .10 mins between races to back drop of a 1980's sound track .if you wanted to know why speedway is dying this is it -

Barry has brought a lot of gimmicks into snooker including the one frame shootout with a shot clock he also brought double in double out in the darts grand prix ,..You look at cricket and what 20 -20 has done for the game ...people do try to bring in new rules and change the game .sometimes they work sometimes they don't

As has been said before when you on any other come up with any better idea's than guests etc that work with out effecting the crowd let us know ...I am a fan of better idea's that work not replacing no 1's with juniors .. I Doubt you will get in on Thursday as it's likely to be a sell out as Swindon have had the same 1 -7 most of the year ..I must admit it's had a massive effect on crowd numbers at the abbey -

The crowd can't have been as people don't like teams like worcs had .looking forward to a massive crowd at swindon this week as they have used less guests this season than they have used in 20 seasons .after all that is what fans want.. the same 7 each week . -

I See in the 20-20 cricket finals yesterday Worcs had a player called wood they got on loan to play 20-20 crickets from Notts This same player thou still plays for his parent club in the four game thou ..amazed the crowd was so big seeing the same kind of thing effects the crowds so badly in speedway . -
Yea no doubt about it ..once your like that you will never change ..the moment he's out he will become a danger to children . Also I expect he will be back under the forum under another name

Spot on Baggy .it was plain to see what was going on and I find it amazing that anyone could think that what he done was a mistake .No one in there right would have done that on purpose -

Good racing ? heat 15 was really good and then we had one pass by Morris ..the rest was dross from the gate with riders spread out .There again maybe it was the best meeting of the season -

orion replied to g13webb's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
They just done it because was a joke of a meeting almost like a friendly ..as I said no one cares about the ko cup ..the crowd itself was one of the lowest I have seen at Swindon for many a year . -

orion replied to g13webb's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
I was at the meeting, they were bad decisions but quite clearly done on purpose ..when you have toff at reserve your are hardly going let him not replace riss and let him go off 15 instead ,,as I said there attitude was one of not being to worried about result heat 14 showed you that as well -

Hardly a Howler ..they never cared less .hence why they let riss go of 15m when he touched the tapes ..The ko cup is one big joke -

Racing was just as predictable in the past as were the matches. The top riders used to be miles clear of other riders in the old daysand have cma of 11 plus where now you get nothing like that now .As for the racing just like today 90 % of it was from the gate and most meetings were crap but made to feel and look better because the crowds were bigger . -

??? it's pretty easy to understand ...things that worked 30 years won't work today ...surely it can't be that hard to figure out .It's bit like asking the BBC to bring back shows from the 70's because they has 20 million viewers back then .but in 2018 hardly anyone would care or watch them . -

Of course I understand speedway was better 30 years ago ..when have I or anyone for that matter said otherwise ? what has been said and you alude to it yourself is that things that worked then won't work now . -

I think that go's against what most fans are saying .it's common sense that because of the internet and all the other forms of social media people are more aware than ever on what riders are likely be at a match and that in turn that has can a massive effect on the size of the crowd . Do you really think if Swindon were missing there top two are were replaced say by juniors that people would not find out and it would not effect the crowd ? even by a speedway fan standards that is an amazing claim ..I think it also shows how the older fan is out of touch with things
