  1. Certainly is: "The Dane, who was Comets’ fifth confirmed signing in November, lost one of his main sponsors and as a result is unable to ride in the UK this season." Doesn't mention that here
  2. Funnily enough I have got one of those (no really)
  3. I purchased one of those cassette radio walkman things from e-bay. It's a bit bulky, nobody uses cassettes these days, the am radio is a bit in and out and crackly but it was cheap and the sound was better than those two roving mics last night. I'm getting there on the technology front
  4. Unlike our friend, you're not unfortunately in full possession of the facts whereas he's always full of it
  5. If he was sitting near me then the last thing he'd be doing is listening to his phone. In the listening choice section of the stand, the booming inaudible PA wins every time I was listening to England U21s, it was difficult to hear but 8-0 v the Japanese was a great result for the lads!
  6. Air horns are fine but not in the hands of a groups of kids playing who can irritate the adults the most. I've read that some didn't see the problem. The good news is that Specsavers will check you ears as well as your eyes these days.
  7. toot - you missed one! And in red we have, toot, toot, toot, and in blue we have toot, toot, toot, in white we have toot, toot, toot and in yellow it's toot, toot, toot - what could possibly go wrong!
  8. Who's paying for that then? Has he won the Euro Lottery because we're told as a club we're not in the position to help either? Hope it doesn't go bang first meeting. “Rafal had said recently on Facebook that both his bikes needed attention and he didn’t have the money to fix them. “At this level you need to have two good standard bikes, it’s as simple as that. I know some of the supporters have helped him but unfortunately the club isn’t in a position, financially, to help him (gazettelive.co)
  9. No, it'd be better if both adverts were positioned correctly on the boards in the first place. Shocking thing to say, but anyone who stayed away because of hoards of kids, good call I didn't
  10. Can't be any worse than the £5 offer last year under the supremo and then almost closure thereafter.
  11. A plus for the EL or being at Swindon but speedway at the EoES is actually worth the effort, roving mic as it's currently used, apart that is. No, that's correct. Plus if you're a hanger on to the group then you get a concession. The thinking is that the hardcore will turn up regardless on other nights whereas the kids might turn up again and bring a paying adult with them in future, or indeed turn into the future hardcore. It may work but history tells us that it's more likely tomorrow's chip paper. That offer and a tenner all round might have been better for this one but someone always has a gripe over something unfortunately; probably valid on most occasions I might add.
  12. Short of VIPs attending are they, just hand a ticket to anyone walking by. Let's hope FP doesn't walk by, that'd lower the tone considerably
  13. First point makes no difference so still no requirement to investigate part 2. Just try to imagine Edwin trying to tell you the line-up of the heat when the bike are already at tapes, totally pointless. It's probably better audio in the cheap seats?
  14. Firstly you can't hear anything when the PA kicks in (including often making sense of what's coming out of the PA). Secondly, my phone makes and receives calls, that's it. I don't play the can't bloody leave my expensive mobile entertainment centre alone for 2 minutes game Bet Canary Wharf man will not like that
  15. If they didn't turn out in their droves to watch a better show and better riders in the EL then the fact that we're a stepping stone for Lambert is going to make little difference. If he listens to Woffinden then he may not be riding the higher league next season (Higher League, you've got to laugh ) so hopefully some 6 fingered fans will also make the trip on your advice. Although can't people glimpse from elsewhere anyway should they so wish? Not that I'm advocating that of course: better live as I said. If only they could put the Sky feed through the PA during heat results, that'd be a real bonus (did it once in 1999 as we listened to The Knights blow the title (good quiz question) so it's not impossible).
  16. I'd imagine that most of those who went to Swindon for a fiver to watch the so called highest level of British Speedway felt ripped off on both counts In our case, it's the fine line between losing money and trying to get a crowd in. This looks the least painful option but will enable Pearson to say what a good job the promotion have done to get the hoards of kids in throwing rotten fruit at him. Not the best headine to post. Whilst it isn't wholly inaccurate, it's easy to come to the wrong conclusion: Free admission for the big TV fixture (local rag headline) SKY CLASH WILL BE KIDS PLAY! (Panthers website)
  17. It'll be better live and you get the chance to do a Basil Fawlty if there's an irritating kid near you who doesn't like the chips.
  18. Normal admission unless you can follow in an adult with a group of brats and say that you're with them
  19. I know, but unfortunately while the lunatics are in charge of the asylum then that's the way it will be. Always good to have the opportunity to remind people of Jason Crump & friends Tell us which forecast, looks one to avoid in future!
  20. Two full sides of each team's own riders would be news these days. Usually work fine for me. They do change throughout the day but so does the weather. It's already looking better than it was so think that they will probably get away with this.
  21. Didn't understand that either, and without knowing the detail, but for the falls and exclusion (and what sounds like a heat 15 easy get out home decision by the ref?) then we would probably have still nicked this.
  22. I don't know about closet Rockets fan but he's doing a very good impression of Panthers King Canute
