  1. I NEVER wear trainers nor have done, nor will do ( horrid sweaty things - or is that my feet? ). I did wear black plimsolls at school in the early 1960s.
  2. I certainly have but the taste is excellent, only if you allow the cheese on toast to cool prior to applying a layer of peanut butter. Peanut butter and marmite was a real turn off for me I am afraid.
  3. Some racing would be a start! But, Yes! we need to see attractive, close racing with passing or the likely possibility of it. If you get two 'races' in a match now you are lucky. Two or three minutes of excitement is as far from VFM as you can get. At the moment it should be £2.50 to get in and 50p for a racecard. It would then approach VFM.
  4. This is an essential but very unlikely to come about with the current BSPA "leaders" in place. Stand down NOW Chapman and Godfrey ( even though it is too late to save the sport in the UK ).
  5. Attract a few birds of prey and watch the feathers fly!
  6. Stox a coming but this can only be done by erasing those troublesome and seemingly unnecessary speedway fixtures.
  7. Definitely the 4th Grade Grammar rule " Which rules have I broken?". That's three rules really.
  8. Spot on, why UK speedway in the PL was "saved" to show up this kind of muck I cannot imagine.
  9. With the quality of racing now served up following Buster's track reconstruction at the EOES, the crowd may double - to say 600 in September .
  10. I still have my KL Stars ( ex Norwich ) rattle that still works - Up For Sle - any offers. Proceeds to Sam Norris fund.
  11. Well, that puts the kibosh on the idea then. Since our glorious leader's live streaming intro statement didn't go quite as planned, the whole idea has been off limits.
  12. If Buster was going to do everything in his power to make it a success and requires better support for the sport at the Showground, all he had to do was make it £10 for everyone and under 16s free.
  13. £10 pound it is then. I am up for that but quite frankly not more than that ( personally speaking ). How successful has it been in ice hockey, do you know?
  14. I have copied this here from the U21 Team Final hoping to prompt discussion of Pay Per View live streaming - The real winner was the quality of the delayed live stream, which I personally would have paid for ( had the option been available LIVE ). This is the dilemma facing UK speedway in that making paid live streaming of as many matches as possible to see if that can add to the overall income stream for each club. I would pay for a live streaming view of every match from the NSS. I would pay £5 - possibly more and I point out that I would not be a lost fan from the turnstile income as I have never been there and am very unlikely to watch live in the stadium ( due to several factors including transport the and overall costs ). Would this match have made the Pay Per View income viable ie 1,000 people or 5,000 people paying to watch? As there was a potentially global audience it could have been 25,000 paying fans ( or more ). The BSPA need to grasp the nettle on this ( yes I know this was not a BSPA event ) but the likely future of UK speedway is at least partially intertwined with PPV income. This delayed live stream, which I enjoyed, was worth me paying something for, had it been LIVE . What do other people feel?

  16. He deserves some sort of fate and yes it could begin with a C. Or perhaps a three letter one H.D.& Q.
  17. And Buster gives NOT a whit. There were certainly less than 1.000 fans there on Monday, As an advert for the sport at Saddlebow Road, why would anyone new even bother to think about showing up for a future match? The income from speedway supporters is clearly of little importance compared to income from other sources and keeping the sponsors happy on TV. Let's have 50 one lap races per match as this is, as you say, Mr Webb, where any regular passing takes place.
  18. It's not the name that shows him / her up, it's the mindset. Never varies.
  19. Thank you on both counts. 6 man sides are an easy fix for One Big League and the clearest chance of turning things around. But as you say getting everyone on board when there is little leadership from the "leaders" - Ah well. If only they did though and introduced standardised machines ( by any feasible engineering means ) there is a chance that speedway racing could return and thrill the crowds ( who might return or even be renewed with no grey hairs, unless dyed in ). Instead of FTG speedway riding. That and no guarantees, only good points money for riders and make them truly earn their corn.
  20. Promotion ( personally ) for SS then? Or is he merely spreading the Good News of the gospels, rather than writing them?
  21. Is this a case of somebody, anybody, nobody etc should have told them? Can one of us get through? Can Philip Rising get through to the powers that be over the start time? If not when they switch on at 17.45 it will be over. Just in time for the result!
  22. I assume no news too. A regular feature of supporter disenchantment.
  23. Mr Parker was not doing his multi-club ownership role because of any love for the sport, it was a licence to print money in those days. Now Mr Chapman does it because of his slavish belief that TV "is a good thing" ( but cannot persuade to his fellow promoters to fill up the stadiums with a decent admission price when the cameras are there ). I think that is driven by Buster's arrangement with his sponsors, that TV exposure comes with any deal he has with them. Is that brave or foolish in the economic framework of UK speedway today? BV was still half empty last night.
