ShanoXtra Posted 22 hours ago Report Share Posted 22 hours ago Ipswich management have been bent over and their ass smacked the past few weeks. Lawson absolutely making them look like mugs and a non professional sport, to previously slating the other promoters and the sport for cancelling matches too early and they’ve done the same tonight. Hasn’t rained one bit the last 4 hours on the track. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phannan Posted 22 hours ago Report Share Posted 22 hours ago Cracking weather here in Swindon. If the Robins were still racing they’d have definitely been coming to the tapes tonight.. and getting their ars*s kicked by the Aces 😬 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPEEDY69 Posted 22 hours ago Report Share Posted 22 hours ago Until those who run the sport put the fans at priority one it will never grow. The riders have run the sport for the last 2/3 decades, this fraud call-off was in my view 100% rider consideration, nowt to do with fans. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hasn’t rained one bit the last 4 hours on the track. Unfortunately those that run the sport and the club owners have no respect for the punters and call off matches to suit each one’s financial agenda and the availability of riders who may or may not want to ride on a particular evening because it interferes with one’s personal life. In years gone by with regular weekly meetings it would take a monsoon to call off a meeting yet today if a cat pissed on one corner of a track it would be abandoned. Speedway is not a credible sport in the UK and those in charge wonder why the numbers through the turnstiles are falling. Each one of you ask yourself this, would waste your hard earned money (does not apply to the gifted tax payer money to migrants or asylum scroungers and the hard done by illegal visitors to this country ) on the probability that a meeting may be on. When you have a number of factors that weight heavily against the chances of it going ahead, why would any one waste time effort annd hard earned money to venture out to any track that simply could not care less about the punters. On many occasions I have driven up the A12 in rain at around 18.30 to Ipswich and phoned through and on some occasions the meeting has been on and others because of the down pour it was called off and that was justified Today no one gives a fig and that is because the sport in the U K is no longer a serious contender for spectators and those in charge have brought this on themselves. Top league racing in the UK is a joke. One piece of advice to those in charge, take a look at Poland and work out where you U K promoters got it wrong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ouch Posted 21 hours ago Report Share Posted 21 hours ago I had high hopes when Richard came on board but it is concerning that he seems to have accepted the status quo so quickly. Makes our crusade for UK speedway much more difficult. ☹️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hawk127 Posted 21 hours ago Report Share Posted 21 hours ago 1 minute ago, mikebv said: Great to see the "feel good factor" from the sport being on ITV has kept momentum...😝 More interest in repeats of Neighbours as opposed to a league meeting from the upper echelons of the speedway in the UK and to put it on an entertainment channel where on fools believe in the outcome of a competition with so many flaws is tantamount to deception. Those who take part believe that they are doing the punter a favour yet ask the terrace personnel and they may say otherwise. The feel good factor does not cross the broader spectrum of entertainment and each promoter or owner fails to understand this and the chances of reaching the appeal of the likes of WWE are a pipe dream with the current custodians running the sport into the ground. It is never going to happen. At best it is a ‘has been’ sport and no one seemingly wants to know how to get it up the chain of notable events. You can but despair.
