Poole Pirates Vs Berwick Bandits 18/5/22
speedwaysliders replied to Shaleshifter's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
Call off just doesnt make any sence,Berwick riders are already in the area,no other sport happening at the stadium now greyhounds have gone,and if the owners of Poole speedway are this lazy,Poole speedway will be gone as well.If may have been a differant story if the Berwick team had to travel, Cant think of any reason not to give the meeting a go,as the rearranged fixture most prob will race on a chilly overcast night!!! -
See central park has stopped evening greyhound meetings for 8 weeks as the track lighting has to be upgraded,weather that would have stopped running speedway early in the season i dont know,but the track lighting was at a point where they couldnt continue,it was that bad,and 8 weeks upgrading says it all really.

British Speedway statement
speedwaysliders replied to MattB's topic in Speedway News and Discussions
Someone ,somewhere has to get speedway on normal TV.The amount of people that dont know about the speedway product is mind blowing.Also we need more people like Matt Ford,who has bust a gut to get speedway fans into the stadium,other people just expect the crowds to come in auto mode.!!! -
Nightmare signings
speedwaysliders replied to dontforgetthefueltapsbruv's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
TWO spring to mind as having the potential ,they were James Cockle and Justin Elkins.Both were great at lower league racing but when it came to championship racing,it should have been so much more.Think Cockle who i love watching race by the way,was too interested in having a banter and not turning up to race to his potential with his bike kit etc,but was value for more in bottom grade. -
Born 2/7 2001 makes me feel old just typing his date of birth,thanks lisa

Could the sitution change over the winter? Be a shame if Oxford return,could have been bumper pay days.

Premiership Play-Off Ties CONFIRMED
speedwaysliders replied to BartoszZmarzlikFan's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
Nice to know that this "Top secret meeting" went ahead without ANY FANS being involved and didnt have a clue what was going on.Surely at least be up front with people and tell them what you intend to do or maybe do.But maybe this emergency meeting was a result of a promototers pub crawl and this was the end conclusion!!! -
Wolves v Panthers 13/9
speedwaysliders replied to noaksey's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
Think people are being a bit unfair on Flint,he was giving everything but getting knowhere on that outside line.He has still had a great season and i would love it if he turned out to be a match winner in the coming weeks.Think the wolves track is going to be toatally different come the playoffs -
100% agree with you there,but with the super quick A22 to connect the 10 miles journey,ive just got this vision of shuttle bus sponsored shuttle bus to and from Arlington.Also places like seaford and even brighton 40 mins drive could be targeted.

maybe ive missed a lot of the info to the build up to this season,but does anyone think the sad passing of Jon Cook was the start of things to come,as he had so much knowledge of how to go about things and get them done,a massive loss to the sport let alone eastbourne.Also dont the Dugard family have any input into the running of the club? I really dont understand how Eastbourne get themselves in this mess time and time again when they have all the assets of the stadium to full back on,either to promote other things specially during the holiday season,it cant be that much differance to Poole who DONT own the stadium but have made a fine go of it over the years(i know they are even struggleing at the moment).I know that other fans done on the south coast,most prob wont enjoy what im about to say but why not ALL CLUB OWNERS just pull together and promote SPEEDWAY down there,trying to attract old fans to travel,and also promote new blood coming in.

Kings Lynn Stars v Sheffield Tigers 19/08/21
speedwaysliders replied to Bald Bloke's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
Buster is Buster, ihavnt always seen eye to eye with what he does,but on this occasion you really should take his view on board if no one is willing to get out on the track and see.He must have close on 30 years worth of experience,so if he tells you the track is raceable,and no other option to test the track is taken up,surely you would give it a go,at least for the fans.ALSO cant you detune these so called rocket ships speedway bikes or even have a sysyem where you can get the engine in the old upright position if aload to do so. -
Kent v Eastbourne 03/08/21
speedwaysliders replied to BEATTHEBOOKIEBOB's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
How did Troy Batchelor look tonight? A strange quote from their match report on monday night when they won at Kings Lynn said this............ "Meanwhile Troy Batchelor was also clearly struggling for full fitness as he lost positions late in races and had medical treatment after the meeting, so Tigers will need to await updates before they visit Ipswich on Thursday." Sometimes in Speedway you dont know what to think!!!! -

Kent v Poole 27/7/21 6.30pm

Would Len Silver get the best out of Lewis Bridger if he returned to the sport?I have to say a bid yes. -
Is anyone losing interest
speedwaysliders replied to cityrebel's topic in Speedway News and Discussions
I just think that all the ,fun,banter,health and safety rules,and most inportantly the characters in the sport,has been replaced by bland meetings that when riders turn up is just a number to them and move on to the next one, that if you speak out or raise your hand bag you get fined ,no pit phone to add a bit of spice to the meeting,even if the track served up crap racing,at least you had something to talk about!! AT Hackney where i started i was completely hooked not just by the racing but everything else that happened at the meetings with Andy Galvin and co always at the front of it.Today i look at a meeting and ask myself is it really worth the effort,maybe just to see a couple of good heats and nothing else.
