Two meetings at Cardiff ?

I always seem to be writing negative comments on the forum ........which is not good for anyone, there are good clubs out there. I do attend Belle vue and Glasgow occasionally and on the whole are a good experience ( Glasgow v Leicester debacle ), plus the GP series is very good, so there is light at the end of the tunnel if we could just turn this oil tanker around in time.

Indeed Mike attended the meetings in question at Worky, all crammed in at the end of October, the last one a double header iced off, the club was on the slippery slope to the end but this did not help matters.

Agree have seen many meetings run late in the season in less than ideal conditions just to get them over the line.......rider safety anyone ?

Yes , bag searches at Belle vue , I suppose it’s the sign of the times with terrorism.

In a world of four riders doing four laps we get bogged down in averages, rising stars , doubling up, down, guests , r/r etc.

Agree about fixture congestion going into October but running in November no way , it’s bad enough in October standing around in the cold and rain. Next season needs to run between April and September .

Card last time I was there , seemed to run out pretty quickly of any cans they had and limited selection of draft beers, oh and staff usually can’t handle big crowds

Doubling up overload

Weather looking very wet this Thursday in Sheffield

Plus the obvious mistakes

Usually have a lot of time for Pearson and Tatum but they come out with some rubbish tonight , still we all have bad days at the office

Seems pretty open now Belle vue with RW back , Sheffield looking better

Good news but will need radical changes for next year regarding costs for riders etc , so will anything change at this years AGM, With the crowd numbers Newcastle are averaging this season the added input of another promoter will only go so far… Sorry to sound negative but just being realistic Best wishes to the club for next season

IGreat meeting, pity the 2nd leg is not being shown on Freesports

Unfortunate but again does not put speedway in a good place again

Agree have sympathy with the travelling Leicester fans, i looked at the forecast on Saturday and all was good indeed it improved on Sunday morning (apart from that foreseen shower at about 3:30pm). So i booked trains and hotel.....

Didn’t know about that?

Not good , wasted journey ,transport etc If every meeting is called off with a heavy shower 2 hours before the start…,

Heavy shower , should be ok now

Agree base your budget on the worst attendance and have a large pot of money to lose .

Hope I,m proved wrong but does not look good and as THJ and Rob says there is no one waiting in the wings to take over.

Another club joins the long list of clubs that have shutdown.

From what i remember its lack of support from the Russian speedway authorities for costs and logistics.

SON Semi finals that weekend.
