more music like this 😎 

 

Myself and 2 mates ( one of which went to Broadmoor, but enough of that) ran a mobile disco for a couple of years in my late teens with 2 Garrard SP25 MKIV decks running through a Marshall Valve amp and 2 Marshall cabinets, no sound to light in those days, lots of lights powered by rotary columns of microswitches on different dwell cams, all taken from old Xerox copier mechanical timing arrays.

The mind-numbing game of throwing balls at a line inside of the track during the interval should do it. So very 21st century.

Engaging with the youngsters is such a pain for us long time attendees. Quite why the track shop doesn’t stock club flasks and comfy cushions is beyond me. Could we ban kids altogether or is that just happening by default due to the jolly nature of those older fans around them.

It's past getting  the point where people now don't care what happens, then will be thinking twice about attending speedway in the future, then if the punters don't attend the promoters business plan ( if they have one ) goes out of the window.  This applies to not just Ipswich it's the whole fookin sport

Agreed.  I'm also not sure how long Mayfield sports will be around.

Think most regular speedway fans would have said we have to a step back and regroup,but the men in charge seem intent on self destruction.IMO.

The Premiership is only in name apart from I/2 doz riders.

I dunno actually. We think along those lines because we’re part of a very very small pool of supporters that regularly frequent this forum. The vast majority of supporters that turn up at their tracks will have gotten on with their lives over the winter and been oblivious to the finer details of club sales and a new track. 
 

I’d bet there actually isn’t that many who are like kids at Christmas and want to know what they’re getting yesterday. 
 

A bigger number will be confused at there being no fixtures or season tickets on sale sure, but I’m not convinced it’ll be a dealbreaker!

From a personal point of view, after a long winter I’m at the point now where I’ve missed the racing and I’m looking forward to getting up to Lynn in a few weeks to watch some Speedway.
