Thought Smolinski was paired with Pedersen in the original press release??? -
Bt Sports Costs
Daniel Smith replied to sportmaniaphotos's topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup
Just phoned BT and got unlimited infinity with SportsHD for £17 for 6 months, £25pm after 6 months. Currently paying 18pm for standard unlimited and no sports -
It's a small positive but a typical speedway positive. A speedway promoter being reactive rather than proactive. Being reactive could mean it's all to late for some

That old chestnut. People have to feel they're being served value for money. The fact the lions returned was great but that novelty has worn off & crowds have fallen. Leicester have an owner that for years believed what he had was perfect and didn't listen to nobody. Now he's woken up and started to realise that so many supporters have gone he's had to try to do something. No longer people give a monkey's with the use it or lose it threat. If people leave, it's their choice and couldn't care less if it's no longer there. Value For Money is all that matters

We haven't got rider's sharing the 1 or 3 team spot. Iversen has replaced Batchelor. Effectively, Batchelor is free to sign for someone else

Edinburgh's behaviour is nothing short of disgraceful. They've objected because they "COULD" have a fixture that day that shows in the calendar as 'TBC' Pathetic and is quite obvious jealousy over Glasgow being given the fixture. Advice for Glasgow, can you put 'TBC' against every other day of the week accept Friday's then object to every rescheduled Edinburgh fixture because you "COULD" have a fixture that day. That's how petty this all is. It's sad

It really wouldn't be like our club to mess the fans around would it We're turning into a bit of a laughing stock with our organisation to be honest. Absolutely p!ss poor

Our King's Lynn side that finished bottom in 98 would piddle all over this Poole side. It shows how far things have fallen away for British Speedway rather than a reflection on Poole. Poole can only put out a side to current regulations, and yes, currently Poole are THE biggest club in British Speedway. Belle Vue over the last decade have tarnished their history slightly but now could, if run correctly, regain their higher status. Everything is in place for them to do so.

Have to say, I'm now starting to struggle with my kodi. Last couple of days it's stopped auto updating. Still stuck on Tuesday's football fixtures etc & comes up with stream failures. Balls if I know how to fix that as I'm newish to this stuff -
As a No'8 meaning his PL fixtures will take priority
-
Troy's hoping Iversen changes his mind and sticks around all season. A bit of average manipulation required for that to work out though.
-
If Iversen is in, excitement levels will rise a little as that will make the team look very different. But, there's still a lot of work to be done by the promotion to better 2015's abysmal efforts. 1. Help in creating a better atmosphere. Just banging out loud music doesn't cut it 2. Rider interaction. We need to see some passion, Korneliussen and Schlein have it but we need to see it as a team too. 3. Interaction from the promotion. Last season we only heard Buster's passion when we limped out of the Play-Offs, need him letting rip from day 1 even if it's at my moaning. It will help lift people's spirits when you know the management care too (but don't give us the great racing speech when it's clearly shocking ) 4. Presentation. From 6.30 - 7.15 have the management & or rider's greet fans in, it's good customer service. Force themselves upon new people, don't wait to be spoken too. Bring back the theme night, live bands, BBQ's etc in the summer months. Start the season off with a cheap airhorn sale for a couple of meetings, the noise habit will just continue all season. The guy in the middle, we need a micman replica. Someone with enthusiasm but not shouty like last year's annoyance.

Coventry's New Stadium
Daniel Smith replied to Humphrey Appleby's topic in Speedway News and Discussions
Underlined what would be hugely concerning. To get things moving in the right direction you don't have to remove the old stadium first. That is a line an owner would use to build his houses then say the new stadium isn't financially viable. -

Lots? They are?!?

Is anyone actually buzzing for tape up next month? I'm in the 'completely fed up' crowd. This is a rant thread, let it all out peeps
-
Lakeside have the biggest squad the world has ever seen to cover missing rider's but sack a rider because he's going to be missing British Speedway Logic
-
At home Bjarne would be the best option. It'll be away where we'll see if he can be bothered.
-
Any questions & answers to share from those able to attend??
-
I hope those that are attending share the information of what went on.

2017 - 1 Or 2 Fixed Race Nights And When?
Daniel Smith replied to 1 valve's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
Looking at other League's it looks like Thursday's could be a problem for some rider's in the UK. Just gone through the Swedish Allsvenskan 2016 teams and there's some strong rider's within those teams/squads. That league runs on Thursday's 🙈 -
Absolutely love it, great idea. Laser technology now is pretty cheap too
-
At this moment in time, I wish we were lower league. Right now, Peterborough look a well run, professional outfit with the promotion keeping their fans well informed of any going's on. They're looking more ELITE than we are.

Amazon Fire Stick with KODI - a must have -
I couldn't care less about a name. Competitiveness and giving their all for the team is far more important imo. The way the team has been set up this season it's obvious we expected and big gun. Now we're not getting one we'll be exceptionally weak, imo on a par with Leicester
