But the revised criteria wouldn't have been known before the state championships?

What's happened with the track itself MD? , all that extra space at the back of turns one and two looks tempting!

Yes what's happening is incredible, feels like the days of the 261 Tigers... At that point the support of Radio Clyde really raised local awareness could be wrong but it felt like crowds dropped when they ended their involvement. I am not sure if commercial radio still has an impact. The website is packed with excellent content but in my opinion it's presented in a cluttered manner.

Hi DjEuan, The previous Tigers presence on Facebook was an embarrassment, the petty internal bickering and language would have put any casual observer off. So far the reinvigorated pages seem clear of that, which is great. Now to sort out that's dogs breakfast of a front page on the website. Its way too busy, tries to do too much on one page and has far too many fonts. Again our rival sports lead by example.

Hi MD, The Rocks average was taken from a newspaper article so it was no doubt embellished. I have been a regular at the Rocks this year and only twice would I say that 350 was a possibility, one on the snowy evening and the other was a Friday night game in the main hall which had a small crowd for some reason. I would say the true average falls between 800-1000. Which given the Rocks pricing, facilities and show indicates the task ahead for the Tigers!

I think a 1000 would be a great achievement given how far the sport has fallen from the collective consciousness. The use of social media has improved dramatically in the last month. A quick look at our 'likes' shows how much catching up to do there is when compared to others. Warriors 25k (average atten 5229) Clan 11k (average atten 3000) Rocks 9825 (average atten 1500) Tigers 1578 (average atten 550?) Facebook is a great way of keeping current fans engaged but twitter imo is a better way of spreading the word. Need to create a buzz to get fans through the door then create a slick entertaining event to keep them coming back. Mingin toilets, crackly speakers and hour long delays for an ambulance appear to be off the agenda in the brave new world of the Tigers.

Track was poor compared to the last few years at Cardiff. Didn't enjoy the meeting as much as usual partly because of the racing and partly because of Tai's accident. All things considered, BSI dodged a major bullet.....this year, may suffer from the ricochet next.

Was probably the most processional meeting so far, but the ref kept it moving along so wasn't too bad. Screenie had two fantastic passes and Joey R was all set for a cracker of a pass when the track caught him out and he took a purler. Redcar offered nothing from an overtaking perspective. Still an enjoyable afternoon given the local weather conditions.

That GP was off the hook!! Brilliant

Get it right up em! Monthestripes.

Cheers R&R and thanks for the heads up about the tickets.

Got some tickets for the Sunday however I had to give my passport details, which are now present on my eticket, I take it I need to take my Passport on the day so the details can be checked. Can anybody confirm that this is the process?

Not your normal sponsor http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wNgB24NUgG8&feature=youtu.be Brilliant!

Enjoyed that, some cracking heats and what a crowd, local promotion must of worked their socks off to get that crowd, in (nowadays) a speedway back water. A wee change to hear clapping and cheering rather than the airhorn.

Great news a fast rising global brand, who are a perfect fit for our extreme sport. Hopefully their involvement will open a few commercial doors that were previously closed. Crikey is Speedway cool after all?

Thanks for the update.

Gutted that there are no meetings after the GP, has put the kibosh on me going this year. I have been to Leszno a couple of times now and I have gotten greedy for two meetings during my Polish speedway weekend.

I know last year it was rumoured that the Prague track was going to ripped up and modified. Does anyone know if that has or is still taking place? Went to this GP a few years ago and enjoyed the city but the racing itself was rotten. Thinking of going again this year but changes to the track would be the clincher. Thanks in advance Fingers
