  1. does the stadium offer free water? even nightclubs (that clearly are in the money making business) supply free water.. look, if this is a kings lynn policy, let it be known..if it is, fair enough, we then all know, but what niggles me, is that someone saw an oppertuinty to fleece the public for every penny here..
  2. has the promotion made any comment on this subject? i may be wrong, but the food/drink outlets profits, would surely go to the promotion? if thats the case, i doubt bsi members would be searching?
  3. speedway in general dont always help itself, 24hrs to start time and extremely little detail about the event. PR could/should be far better than it is
  4. the stadium owners would of been aware of that, and could quite easily of made a notice to everyone a week in advance
  5. it appears to be a fleece em for all its worth tactic to me. i see no reason why, on a hot day like that, they could treat people in that way. yes, cinemas do it, but its known before leaving home, when has speedway ever advertised this policy? i have never heard of it
  6. wonder where in the rules and reg, it states u21 final can be won on a toss of a coin if its tied and raining? yep, only in speedway!
  7. no8s were only in play when there were r/r facility i believe?
  8. cant believe anyone can think a comp like this could work, british speedway rules are daft, its embarassing on sky tv, watching mix n match teams, they would be even crazier in a euro comp..get it right here first before goin global and showing the sport up further!
  9. yeah, the scots, welsh nd irish really helped!! think last time i saw scots was at foxhall in 70s eng/scots/nz/aus with bobby beaton!!
  10. get used to it, 4 ENGLISH riders, support someone else if you that silly
  11. hands up, i was wrong..well done gb and rosco..i thought king and stead would be out of depth, and i know opponents were under strength, but that said, gb did great job in reaching the wc final..again, i dont see us doing much, but id happily be proved wrong again!!
  12. i defy anyone who prefer little cardiff over this
  13. yep, all fair replies. just picking up on the promotion/relegation point, now is probably the 2 leagues has ever been, i wouldnt of thought bottom of el and top of prem would be that big of a difference. i dont hold the finances, so others know best i guess
  14. Golden Helmet in original format, not like the time it was over- done by defending it every match.. loyalty card a great idea which someone mentioned.. end the sharing of riders discount for away fans arriving by coach (as that can be proved) to help with costs pannini style sticker book for kids.. billboards advertising in town centres heres a big contraversial one, Proper promotion/relegation programmes bring back full page pics with a autograph oppertunity for kids meetings need to have an "event" feel to them presenters who can build the tension
  15. wolves fantastic for me, not so much the viewing points though, not keen on one set place. worst track is easy and obvious, but enough been said bout that track!!
  16. think your positioning in the league with play off system has effected away support..take edinburgh for instance. why bother travelling to plymouth (for example) when they are nailed on for play offs, the old style lge system, in that instance, would maybe of got them out, as it was a different scenario..for edinburgh, i would guess some edinburgh fans even miss home meetings now, as they just got to wait for playoffs to start now
  17. theres enough gaps in the speedway calendar these days, the riders you mentioned could be brought together in a series of test match style games
  18. if that 4 were selected, saddlebow would be empty, saying that, your last part of sentence isnt far out!
  19. i once did the olle nygren training school..would like to think its move on since those days...my claim to fame is Bo Brhel getting told to get off track whilst i was on! he shot past me on the back straight, felt awesome speed alongside!
  20. here we go... i CLEARLY no louis fan. i dont care one iota about ipswich any longer, but with it being a side i supported without fail at home for 37 yrs, and probably 15% away, id suggest, you focus on the promotion.. what do you hear coming out of the foxhall press office? very little. how many yrs do witches "see out season"?...do anyone actually believe they have rebuilt the witches?..what progress has actually been made?...i personally think the witches will scrape into the play offs, but is that whats really become of ipswich speedway? 6th spot in a lower tier? to claim to "re-build the club", you dont even own an out and out number 1, its a team of odds n ends..but hey. whats left of the "regulars", you enjoy it!
