Still this one, the orgainal and going over 30 years!

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.

Let’s see it moderated properly this time.

Obviously the new Forum was created whilst this Forum was down for a few days, just wondered how many are using it or actually aware of it, me personally i look in on both 

Barely anyone.

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.

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.

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.

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...

Had a look a while ago seems the only person on the forum is @IainB and I think he set it up 

I post on there now and again, seems a shame not to at least look in now and again after all the hard work @IainB put in setting up the new site, on the plus side at least this site has improved since its been back online regarding adverts coz it used to craze me the amount of adverts popping up every time i looked in, and i haven't set up an ad blocker so fingers crossed it continues as it is currently.
