I mistakenly thought that speedway supporters were mostly 'mature'. Certainly, in my experience of many tracks, it is the over 50s that keep attendances up. If you read many of the comments on here, it seems that there are a handful of 'immature' young voices who may not even take in as many meetings in person, yet still consider themselves to be experts and privy to 'the real truth' in all speedway matters. Please, gentlemen (term used loosely), grow up and stick to reasoned debates instead of 'football hooligan' type responses. Back to the speedway......................... Nobody from the Witches 'bailed'. There was a clear qualification...points scored (incl bonus) in meeting before nominated heat 15. Ipswich riders complied but Brummies top 3 did not.

When I arrived at 7:30 they had sold out of programmes and had also run out of 'concession' re-admission tickets, crowd more than they had expected.

Love the "pre Madonna's".🙃

Ouch! What a sad individual with, obviously, a lot of time on their hands. P.S. If I had a brother, he would be bigger than yours!

"It’s all opinions and mine will never change".....What? Even if the facts prove otherwise.

Any news from the end of season dinner, Fri 01/11

I hear this so often. You, almost certainly, also made some wise decisions along the way. Many who spent all of their earnings instead of thinking of a private pension, are now supported by the state while those who used their own money to plan ahead are now ignored by the state. The 'luck' and 'good fortune' is experienced by those who spent their money and now need government support.

It's not just Poole, it's not just speedway. This is a result of giving the sadder individuals amongst us the freedom to spout via social media. In previous eras they would have been moaning alone or in small groups of sad moaners and been ignored by most of society. Today, social media gives them an equal voice.

As in North of the UK or just North of Oxford?

It's on his own personal account, so that tells you!

If that comment was in any way serious then you have a huge problem. Only one person even considered the race issue, YOU! If you were not serious, I apologise.

"Emil has destroyed all of the goodwill he has built up in Britain"......You mean that YOUR complete misunderstanding of the situation has made YOU think that Emil has made/will make a decision that YOU don't agree with! I know that facts are not so interesting but maybe worth trying them out to understand the situation.

"I stopped contributing to live speedway a while back". So how do you feel able to criticise events that you do not witness? Wonderful things, keyboards!

"the contempt they have for the supporters"...what unsubstantiated nonsense you write! The injuries were unpredictable, without which we would still be top of the league, and as for "making no attempt to replace Doyle", that is uninformed drivel. Maybe spend some time away from the keyboard, in the real world, and you might see what is really happening.
