IT seems the greyhound management at Monmore are not thinking that much clearer about the facilities they have there when a lot of their greyhound racing is is for afternoon bags when you only get a handful of people there,why are they ripping alovely seating area which has years left in it,the bar area is great,BUT it doesnt make sense to rip it all out just for an evening meeting or two at the track when what they already have in place was more the adequate to deal with the paying public.Madness from their management when the fixtures and fittings were more then good enough ,theres no way they are going to get that money back and the main crowd will only be on a saturday night,with the bags fixtures for about 50 paying folk.Clueless managent again for what gain.

UNDERWHELMING press release after all this time waiting.

When Garrity went public and made that video about what he did the first time around when he came out of prison does anyone know how close he came returning to speedway racing with getting his bikes ready etc /contract talks?!!! Maybe the bikes were there before he got taken back in,but if they were not its a massive ask to get up and running .

IS there anyway to get out of this dire situation of five teams and somehow jazz the season up a bit?!!! IM SURE!!! EVERYONE is fed up with me saying bring back the pit phone,match races or even a second half to fill this dire situation of five teams,and get some buzz back and people actually wanting to to speedway,even bringing in a polish team(yes i know rider clashes) for a midweek break in fixtures for a friendly match.JUST THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX where i dont think the mob running it at the moment do !!

Right or wromg Bob Dugard always showed passion for the sport and when he and Eastbourne used to come to Arena Essex for matches i just couldnt wait for the match to come around and begin as the friction mounted even more so when Jon Cook was in the Lakeside pits!! I sooooooooooooooooo much miss that passion as todays matches you get nothing!!!BLAND build ups to matches is the norm these days.

Adam SHIELDS while at Eastbourne spent almost the entire season one year with no mechanic and ive noticed there are a lot of ex riders willing to help and give advice in this day and age.What is the agenda with riders like Perry and trigger do they and their promoters think they should be full time only or is it still juggling work with sport?!!

Pub crawl needs tinkering with!!!!

You always knew when Todd Wiltshire was on track!!

Ive said this a number of times,JUST BRING THE CUTTING EDGE which was speedway many years ago and let the meetings play out with controversy,raw,energy.friction which will bring the crowds back INSTEAD OF THESE BLAND LADIDA MEETINGS where no entertainment is served up at all.AT THE MOMENT EVERYONE IS TOOOOOOOO NICE !!!!! Get the pit phone back and when a rider speaks to the ref EVERYONE in the stadium can hear the conversation and even though the ref never changes his mind at least it will get the fans involved to spice the evening up.SURELY that can be done in this day and age to get the pit phone back so everyone can hear

But thats the thing Len Silver DID MAKE IT WORK for about 5 seasons all be it in the lesser bottom league but he made it work under Cearns.He is on record that he made a profit for Roger.The point im trying to make is are ALL sports going to be banned at Central Park or does it take someone with fresh ideas and a fresh positive fresh approach to get any sport off the ground at central park,and once that happens other sports will follow.There is going to become a time where greyhounds need help to get the most out of the stadium.

Thank you

Surely there must have be people somewhere that could make this venue work or has it been looked at already that i dont know about? If so sorry to go over old ground but it looks perfect venue for someone to try!!!

With hardly any characters in ANY SPORT these days Speedway needs to go back to basics and NOT FINE anyone who even thinks about causing a problem or raising his voice in an argument.Ian thomas bless him was not everyones cup of tea but did he get people talking about things in an meeting when the racing was boring he got people talking and WE NEED PEOPLE like him to bring an element of friction in a meeting.In the UK these days the riders just swan in and out of the country ,with no element of doing anything other to score whats good for them and get out again and onto the next meeting.WITH FINES making people scared to breath speedway has gone stale,bring back the telephone and make it bigger and better for the riders to talk to the ref WITHOUT the risk of being fined,we know he/she wont change their mind but it was all part of the banter at one time when the racing was rubbish at least you had that element of banter that kept everyone talking.why cant we just get back to the natural reaction of riders without the risk of being fined?

Has he got an early plane to catch for Poland on sunday or is his best kit in Poland already,that was dire from him not to trouble anyone with his scoring.

OK so i get everyones views that they dont mind riders mixing and having a laugh with their rivals,so when the racing isnt that good how do we make it a bit more cutting edge with a bit of spice to the meeting.The only rider in this meeting to show any zest for wanting to mix it with rivals was Josh Pickering who was busting a gut at least having a go.How do we get everyone busting a gut if its all toooooooooooo friendly?

WELL!!!!! That was good!! Only PEOPLE ENJOYING!!! the meeting were the home and away riders themselves who were not at all concerned with the cameras in the pits picking them up having a jolly up between themselves!!! What a joke uk speedway has become with riders mixing with the opposition.Not in any sport in the world would teams act in this manner,ONLY IN UK SPEEDWAY.SMAMBLES

Very bizarre from Batch,and Troy almost shoots himself again,because everyone knows he has top class equipment and always had and turned up with immaculate bikes ,maybe he was minus a pit crew member but even then to be given 4 rides you would have thought someone would have had a quite word in his ear about going out for his 4 ride,but that was his worst of the night.Can you imagine if this had happened in Poland what the reaction would have been?!!!

WHY give Batchelor 4 RIDES when the first 3 he rode like that.What the hell is the team manager doing.

Huckenbeck for me please £200 more

For the younger fans that watch speedway today here are some photos of the 1979 INDOOR Lada classic WEMBLEY 1979!!!! Im moving house but got a bit delayed looking at these classic Mike Patrick photos i ordered at the time.!!!

This final 7 riders has to be a bit of a joke surely!!! As a neutral i dont like to criticise teams normallybut i have to say apart from Sam Masters this Oxford team is going to get battered away from home and as a floating fan,when Oxford come to town i for one will not be going anywhere near their away fixtures.Just dreadful.

Are they really throwing the kitchen sink at promoting Speedway in the city and in the midlands in general? Only Birmingham fans will know the answer.Why are thet trying just to find sponsorship,go out there and drag the extra people needed by to make it work,Its great that the club has backers but Birmingham isnt a small city get the word out and about.
