I love league racing but I wonder if these sort of meetings would make money for promoters by attracting good crowds, depends what sort of monies the competitors would want ....... I'd love to see some sidecar racing, just the noise of the bikes makes me smile. I've never bothered with the other two but would part with money to see them .....

I'm guessing league racing ain't the answer to attract crowds. Events involving solo speedway, sidecars, short track, drifting would attract crowds on Friday\Saturday\Sunday

Do that but they should have considered it ALL!!!!

It must help, as must position sharing ........

I guess club promoters get their "team" (including everyone involved in the club?) round the table and discuss the season ahead? Throw about ideas?

Never too old!!!!!

So play some great tunes, have some banter over the tannoy during breaks, get the kids chanting, give the kids name checks, read out tweets, give answers to comp in the prog (14 questions, one after each race) etc etc .... make some effort

Money makes a difference eh ....

Why people bemoan the track prep between races annoys me so much, tell the kids and moaners that it's for rider safety and racing quality, should be good enough .....

Yes, GRW, he has improved the stadium without a doubt but the club doesn't have a great feel about it at the moment, hopefully things will change in 2016 ..... just little but really important stuff for the fans.

Hope it was the weakest team who voted against then or how ridiculous would it be .......

Don't they want to support their local team?

But what about all the other promotions, selfish and surely bad for BSPA business as a whole ...

No, how many did you ask then and what ages? But don't forget to tell them they damned well hurt and the rest eh, always hated crashes, more so through the years Good post, only a few promoters and riders "get" the fan thing!!

Yeah but we've been talking about this for years, have they not?? Rider position share could easily have been implemented this season, why wait .... so frustrating. OK so probably not as easy as I think but they are constantly in contact ...... tch!!! More fool him for jumping the gun I would say ..... ffs!

Philip and Kelvin didn't ask the youngsters did they, typical!

Yeah I know all that, not what I am saying though, guess I am asking opinions really about Buster's ideas .... and why they haven'the been done already ..... So why did it not happen, is that not a yes vote?

If Buster thinks that a one/two night EL and/or team berth sharing could happen why did it not this year to help our league? Or is Buster just hopeful and will these measures never be voted in? Why are the promoters not seemingly doing the best for their businesses? Or is it they can't see/afford a way forward? I cannot believe that they don't see Woffinden et al racing over here as a good thing for the league and each of their businesses? Or having asked the riders, even if they were offered less matches, one/two nights a week, are they not bothered/too mercenary to race in the BEL?

So how would you describe these dirty riders? Spiteful, ruthless ba****ds, dumb, untalented .... or a mixture?

Said for years that Speedway meetings need to be better promoted than they ever have, the promoters need young, enthusiastic people working with them to do it too!

Don't the mods know?????? Is it impossible to completely ban people who have multi aliases?

We'll have to sing and chant like the Poles do, their matches attract plenty of teenagers, 20 and 30 somethings!!!!

One definition of "retarded" is foolish or stupid so in SCB's case calling JC a "retard" could just have meant a stupid or foolish person ...... not that SCB needs anyone sticking up for him, he deserves a good old thwarting at times with some of the stuff he says. On the other hand he can be one of the most clever, informative and on-the-ball posters on here.....

Bloody good job!!!! They can do without losing a single fan from what I've seen this year!!!

Not for me, fans say all sorts, some rude, some sensible, some dumb, but promoters should ALWAYS speak with respect and love for their punters, they cannot afford not to!!
