Phil Posted Thursday at 07:23 AM Report Share Posted Thursday at 07:23 AM Still this one, the orgainal and going over 30 years! https://www.speedway-forum.co.uk/forums/ The British Speedway Forum has been bringing fans together for over 30 years. During that time it has been far more than just a discussion forum—it has been a community. Members have shared countless moments of fun and enjoyment, formed lifelong friendships, including marriages, and, sadly, mourned the loss of fellow members. Through all of life's highs and lows, the forum has endured and continues to thrive, remaining a place where speedway fans can connect and keep the community alive. 7 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No logic in everyone using both as it'll just be the same posters posting the same comments on both forums to a point where it's just a waste of everyone's time. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chips Posted Thursday at 03:32 PM Report Share Posted Thursday at 03:32 PM (edited) I signed up to the new one after seeing a post on facebook saying that this one had ceased to exist and that the new one was replacing it. Clearly this was misleading - I won't bother with the "new" one as this one has far more history, members and banter.

marko Posted yesterday at 08:26 AM Report Share Posted yesterday at 08:26 AM Is this forum dying a slow death like the sport in this country? I started a topic yesterday for the Scunthorpe vs Redcar match because it was going to be on BSN, but why is an fan of a club that ceased to exist eight years ago starting a topic because two sets of fans who still have clubs to follow are clearly not interested, and there has been scant follow up after the meeting. Oxford were at home last night, but not a mention of that match on this forum, its like it never existed, Plymouth is the same, often no threads for their home matches. I know not all fans do social media but you would think a few from a group of at least 500 (that's the min most clubs get) would want to be interactive. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think iainb set up most meeting threads on here.... And only probably did that, usually on the day, due to no one else from either team involved bothering... There has been a growing feeling of "what's the point?" I would say since Sky stopped showing Speedway, and their seven figure input also stopped.... With the ever increasing constant sharing around of riders, even with an ever reducing number of teams, suggesting even those running it don't take it too seriously, and, for them, just putting on a Speedway meeting, of any degree of relevance and credibility, is the only box to tick for them... Apathy is probably the feeling of many, either on here, or even those dwindling number of die hards who still attend tracks regularly... The two nights in Manchester for the GP's though must have delivered circa seven figures in income, therefore, there still must be hope for the sport in the UK if they can make it a credible offering...
