H20

They were no where near 1000

Hard one this new club is there a lack of fixtures to get fans back to regular racing ? Every two weeks would work as routine but if them nights are rain offs going weeks without speedway its hard to keep a srong fan base. Totally understand clubs with senior teams thinking this is enough but for a new team like Workington hope fitting in extra meetings can work for them.

Totally agree I'm not being in any way negative I'm deligted speedway is returning but I also want it to be really successfull and stay running. My opinions are only my own and it's just a buisness reason I give them as I will be able to attend most meetings unless I'm away, I just do not see a Saturday as the best buissnes decision here. Far to much else going on esspesially speedway on TV and I've alway thought this even when the Comets had decent crowds I alway thought they would be more on a Friday or Sunday night given a long enough run at it to get the regulars adjusted to it. A fresh start they are no regulars to get adjusted.

Totally understand the thoughts both ways but unfortunately speedway does not pull in young fans like it used to no more unless parents drag them there away from there playstations. Other clubs run midweek without a problem so a Friday or Sunday would be better than Saturday, like I say speedway with the amount of GP's now the speedway of nations and the Euro Champs all on a Saturday on TV fans will stay at home and watch speedway esspesially if the weather is poor. People attending weddings or party's even going away for a night its generally always a Saturday so why go against all that without a need to. Because Workington have always ran on a Saturday does not mean its still the right night. Me personally im just glad speedway is returning so whenever it runs i'll be there but I know other that won't attend regurally, my thoughts were if it were my buisness I would definately move away from a Saturday as I think more fans would attend which will be better for the club. And as for running on a Saturday afternoon that would be a huge mistake, Reds getting much better crowds (depends on how much their seasons overlap) than Town were so it would be Sundays at a worst case for me.

Yeah i've read through the posts and all similar to the reasons previously but the times they have change race night its not a true reflection on what a steady race night would be say on a Sunday or Friday just a simple opinion on why I do not think a Saturday goes against speedway to get the best attendance posible. It also is affected if people are away for the weekend so Friday or Sunday to me are a no brainer, if it were my buissness i'd never consider a Saturday at all for speedway. I understand at this level it must be weekends due to age of the lads riding as midweek would be difficult.

Having speedway back is great to look forward to but just reading the posts looking like they are sticking to Saturday's. Never understood the reason to run on a Saturday night as to much else going on espessially all the speedway on TV on Saturdays now. It does not keep much keeping speedway fans away if it's on TV to for them to get there fix. I would not consider the rugby at all and would either run on Friday or Sunday as I think running reguarly on either would get a better crowd than a Saturday night. Hope it's a huge sucess after all the cost, work and effort put into this project.

Thanks for that information

What's the rule for Polish teams building teams ? Wroclaw so strong now keeping same team. Torun building a strong side then very strange Leszno replacing the departed Sayfutdinov with Bellego !!!! Seams a strange move that considering who could have been available

Premier Sports starting already Speedway delayed start due to football.

Has anyone seen any decent deals to join Premier Sports ?

We were a party of 12 going out tomorrow morning but only four of us able to go that can isolate for 14 days on return. Gonna be a very empty plane this.

Just looked at tickets available for Friday GP are now at over 9000 available !!!! How is that possible ? They only had 7000 available when they first went on sale.

I think the GP Challenge should always be after the GP series is finished and then we would not get riders like Zagar going through the motions knowing he is it it nest year. How Kasprrzak was even nominated was a mystery he must have friends in high places.

This series has shown the riders constantly in the semi finals and the riders not getting to them. Fresh faces is what's needed to give others a chance to up there game unlike the current riders that have had there fair chance, Lindback, Iverson, Zagar, Kaspezak all had their chance get some new riders in.

Still big pressure for BZ it only takes one incident and your GP is over. Looks like tickets selling now as they were not moving before the last round. Massive battle for a top 6 place too.

Shown speedway all season then drop the play off meetings to 10pm. Poor decision from Premier Sports

Everything still to ride for but didn't BZ look excellent last night ? That drive he got from moving his body weight onto that back wheel was unbelievable.

Why are Leszno not riding that weekend mate ?

Oh yeah never realised that league had not finished by then. Thanks for info mate, when will fixtures be out ?

After some information does anyone know if there is a meeting on the Sunday after the Torun GP anywhere near Torun ? Thanks

After some information, does anyone know if there are any meetings on after the Torun GP on the Sunday ? Thanks.

My point is that the Friday is not selling well at all this tells me that not many fans are going because if you are travelling for the Saturday GP its a no brainer to go to the Friday to. Yes the Saturday was just about sold out but they are still selling tickets for the Saturday its strange that the Saturday did not sell out straight away this year as it normally does.

When tickets went on sale for the Friday there were only 7300 available and they have only sold just over 1000 now. These events not proving popular at all at the min. Even in Wroclaw they did not sell our for either event 1 or 2.

Totally agree if your not in a rush the bus and train are really easy but lime you have been tild you have to head into Bydgoszcz first. Taxi straight from airport quickest way but like above agree a fee with driver first even ask a couple first.

Well there certainly not selling many for the Friday not shifted 500 yet since they went on sale. Even the 1st two GP's did not sell out either. The polish fans don't seem to be travelling to these GP's
