Poole V Swindon Semi Final 1st Leg 11/9/17

Just spoke to rosco he's hoping to used Newman again if we race Wolves away in the final . -
Yet again if there was runaway leaders in a normal season all the matches would be meaningless and you would lose revenue without any chance of getting it back .
-
yet again tell me the difference from any other sport ? You get plenty extra in terms that you see a grand final with every rider trying a 100 % and with a chance of your team become league champions..every club is losing money and you want to stop them giving them a chance of getting some of it back .
-
Yet again nearly every final in every sport put the price up for a final but in speedway its some how a crime even thou clubs need every penny they can get to survive .

? Without the play offs there seasons would have petered out a lot sooner ..this subject been done to death and the thing people can never quite understand is plays offs without a league title on the line hold no interest for the fans and would run at a massive loss . And what happens if went back to the old format and a team runs away with the league ? do you expect the teams in 2nd 3rd and 4th to have better crowds ? what about the teams who or 5th and 6th this year who still had a chance to make the play offs ,do you expect them somehow to have bigger crowds under the old format once there season is over by june ?

I think crowds are down full stop in most places.i remember having to wait before getting into Poole staduim and then finding it hard to find a spot to watch the racing .this year I just walk in 3 times and watched from where I liked..speedway is dying a very slow death in the uk and I don't think there is any cure for it no matter what format is used . -

I think everyone understands that if it's on tv and there are no price deals the crowd will be less ...who has said otherwise ? -

The forecast for Poole looks like heavy showers all day up intill 9 .The best course of action would be for a early call off to save everyone a lot of time and effort. -

But all these other sports that have them are not looked upon as Mickey mouse ? Yet again a only in speedway saying . THE sport won't move as it has to many fans stuck in the dark ages -
Like he buys all the stadiums where Speedway and Darts are played ? What are the crowds like for these mx events and what do they pay to get in ?
-
Why would Monday be perfect for fans ? it would be the worst night for many ...a million more sticking points than clubs just having to get there stadium on those nights .

Easy win for Swindon -
The bottom line is shov is right you reply (bite ) to his every post .
-
it's amazing he bites every time the rest of forum understood years ago that shov just having bit of a laugh .
-
Make sure you give him the correct money
-
You should have lent him a hand
-
They won the league last year ...try to think before you post
-
Spot on post ..your find it hard to find a Swindon fan who gives rats ass that he rides for Berwick ..as you say people would only care if he missed meetings because of that . get the fixture list sorted out to avoid clashes and it's not a problem .
-
A successful winning team with better riders will bring bigger crowds in .
-
Yea that is no doubt that is the main reason ..if it's allows a few good riders to come back all the better .
