ouch Posted 2 hours ago Report Share Posted 2 hours ago The tedious attempts at points scoring with regards to attendance is all a bit pointless as NOBODY has any right to crow about their attendance as they are all rubbish. I few hundred more here or there is no kind of win for a sport that use to attract thousands. Sure discuss on track battles but with regards attendances we need to lose the me me me insular thinking of the previous guy and look at the bigger picture collectively. Given the well documented and well know issues at Belle Vue we are still the only club to have had support that allows us to remain in the top tier. Other clubs chop and change when their support drops off again and this impacts us in our league as we don’t know who we will be against from one year to another. Having said that I’m not expecting Ipswich to drop down again as Colman is a breath of fresh air when compared to the cartel member he rescued the club from. I think he will be a wonderful ally but hope he doesn’t alienate himself from the home crowd as the wind of change takes hold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baldyman Posted 1 hour ago Report Share Posted 1 hour ago There is no way Louis would have had Lawson turn up with dirty bikes, he was a stickler for professionalism 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTT Posted 1 hour ago Report Share Posted 1 hour ago The Lawson bike talk really is moaning for the sake of moaning tbh. Lawson's Dirty Bikes -> 6 Points from 4 Rides.......Nicholls and Hellstrom-Bangs Clean Bikes -> 1+1 from 6 Rides. Clean/Dirty bikes really didn't make make a difference at all, Just got beat by the better team on the night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SPEEDY69 Posted 1 hour ago Report Share Posted 1 hour ago 3 hours ago, Roger Jacobs said: But ... the point is that most, if not all, tracks can say the same. Better attendances for big rivalries or Bank Holidays, yet the extra people aren't tempted back for "normal" meetings, even at the NSS where very good racing is expected. Why not? It's not a new "cost of living" thing, it's been happening for a while, and needs to be addressed by the sport as a whole ... It's because it's not the racing which attracts the numbers, nor is it cost alone. People need to feel they get value for money and have a good time when there. Not stand around disengaged - it's engagement which is key. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s why last season we struggled against kings Lynn at home as their riders can ride out place Belle Vue fans get very touchy when you mention they can’t ride Foxhall … but that’s speedway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heat 8 onwards was terrific if you like racing and The Aces pulled away. Happy with the contribution from all Aces and pleased to see our Tom still mixing it. I thought we’d be outgunned at reserve but I’m happy with the 6-7 match up. Enjoyable but chilly night. Yes we at Ipswich absolutely loved gate and go it’s what we dream about Your pedantic patter around Belle Vue having the best track is rather tiresome …. We all know you have the best track yawn Your Tom??? Binned him and kept Blodorn lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
