  1. But why wouldn't you possibly get a rider,, in this case an RS, that could possibly be 2nd on that list instead,,,,, why in speedway do fans not want to be better,,, why is it always,, they are doing okay so that will do,. In sport you are meant to try and be the best you can be.
  2. Strangely on a close finish on TV they will replay the front wheel going over the line first,,, but the transponders are not in the front wheel,,,
  3. This year I don't think transponders are mandatory,,and even if they were,, they don't register till the headstock is over the start/finish line,,,,
  4. Doyle is one of the worlds worst jumpers,,, although he does seem to do it less here,,, but I guess that's cos the competiton isn't so good
  5. Riss was never worth the 6 he started with,,, most of that was made up with a stint at reserve last season,,, clearly he wasn't all that to end up going to reserve. How he can be so good in one league and so poor in another is baffling
  6. Wasn't there so can't comment on much,, but good to see Danny's score,, definitely riding himself into a team spot for next year. Looking at some of the other scores,,, they really should be doing better,,,,
  7. Okay okay,,,, swap the mud for baked beans in tomato sauce,,,, or strawberry jelly
  8. They need to do some stuff that keeps the crowd interested whilst there are breaks,,, I suggest pole dancing, mud wrestling and a wet t shirt competition.
  9. It's down to one person who wins tomorrow,,,,,, the trackman
  10. I don't get the moaning,,, just shut up and pay up next time like the good people you are,,,, you know ya gonna
  11. Let's see if they can put together a track that doesn't suit Wolves this time.
  12. Agree about the product,,, I've been going less and less the last few years,,, and this year after watching 2 I've basically stopped. It just doesn't do it for me anymore,,,, dull racing,,, dead atmosphere,,, it's like what the hell am I doing here.
  13. One thing I haven't seen mentioned is a sign the age of people that go. No one has mentioned influencers,,,, invite a few of them. They play a huge part of what the younger generation do and don't do today,, and how and where/what they spend their money on. You can guareentee the crowd going up just so they can see and meet the influencer.
  14. The clubs know nearly all the fans that were mugged off tonight,, will be standing outside waiting to get in another time,, with another chance of being mugged off some more. Fans are treated like schitt,, cos they let themselves be.
  15. So didn't the bikes have to be raced flat out before heat 10,,,it is strange they nearly always make it heat 10,,,but then suddenly can't get any further
  16. Let's look at another motorsports,,, touring cars,, formula 1 and others,,, there was a big push a few years ago with things like getting people who played computer games to try car racing and stuff,, think it was Britain next top racing driver,, or something like that,, there was a whole program for them to start at the bottom and work their way up,,, but let's concentrate on speedway,,,,, it needs more young riders,, they need to be able to get free track time on free equipment,, okay that would need a sponsor to put money up,, but other sports manage,,, me personally I would be trying to attract some young muslim lads and some young Chinese lads or lasses,,,, these communities follow and support all their young sports people,,, just look at snooker in China now,, and the millions that now follow it because a Chinese lad made good,,,,each club has thousands of new fans possibly waiting in the wings If we can un earth some talent from those community. It's also about having an evening out where you go home feeling entertained,,, it's been said thousands of times before,,, but alot of people want more for their money,,,, not just 15 races,, where you may see a couple of good ones,, or maybe not,,, 5 mins of watching a tractor going round every 15 mins whilst listening to the greatest hits of the 70s,,, don't cut it in modern life.
  17. 6 rider teams,, no doubling for foreigners,,, it's all been said before,,,, what's new? Shared number 1,, been mentioned before,,, more teams,,,, well yeah Is it about dragging the sport on for a bit longer till all the oldies are dead,,, or is it about finding new ways to find new fans? Let's be honest the majority of speedway fans are probably over 50,,,in fact I would say probably over 60,,, so the majority of remaining fans will be dead soon,,, what then? As for me,, hardly go at all anymore,, like thousands and thousands before me. Can I be tempted back,,, yes I would think so,, but I don't think the put forward suggestions would do it,,,, bringing some integrity back into the sport would help,,
  18. With the way Lidsey has been scoring points recently,, shall say belle Vue by 16
  19. No I meant how many in your collection,,, as you often ask for times,, so I'm guessing you collect them,, so was wondering how many complete programmes with times you think you have
  20. Just out of interest,, how many meetings times do you have recorded?
  21. I thought the Witches were going well at one point,, that went down hill quick
