  1. As much as people won't take much notice of this post, it is absolutely bang on the money with that 1st sentence. How old is their youngest member of the BSPA?
  2. The thing is, the BSPA are blocking modernisation of the sport. Mike Bennett our presenter, use to use Twitter to interact with fans so direct questions could be asked to rider's / management, birthday messages etc etc. It was banned by the BSPA. Small interactions like that help fill gaps
  3. I think everyone is looking at this completely the wrong way round. How do we attract youngsters, YOU HAVE TO ATTRACT THE PARENTS. Kids can't attend without them. Personally though, we need to aim our attention at the age group of peeps in their early 20's. The majority have money, no commitments to worry about etc How about group discount, this age group goes everywhere with mates and partners. Lads / Lasses group nights, 20% off admission with free drink. Discounts with a local taxi firm to take punters to the town centres etc after meetings If there are 4 or more people in a vehicle they get a 30% admission voucher Onsite bar with cheaper than town centre beer and club tunes / live bands There are loads of things to try that would be cheaper for promoters to deliver than paying a GP riders wages
  4. Dropped a bollak there my son Proceeds go to the Ben Fund for that meeting FIM meetings have to be paid for to the FIM I'm sure the 2 FIM events would have been offered as sweeteners for losing the SWC to Manchester which we held these events prior to Buster being chairman. Last but not least, I believe Edinburgh don't hold the relevant licences for holding international events See what you want to see springs to mind
  5. Correct, and you could see things going in the right direction 10yr ago. Since the cronies thought they could do better British Speedway has slipped back another 20. Unfortunately, as I've said previously, Buster is on a loser as anything he wants to change, the old boys will still have the power to veto anything that is progressive.
  6. I think jc would agree with that. After knocking up the super7 series (forward thinking) the old cronies got their hands on it and totally fooked it up. Anyway, great to still see ya popping in now and again fella. Think it's safe to say, you're better off out of this game as it's one serious sinking ship Your old man has a stinker of a job trying to save British Speedway's future
  7. So, we are just a few hours away from having a genuine No'1 announced. Or are we?!?!?!
  8. John Cook, There's only 1 group of people within speedway that are "thick, biased or both". BSPA is such a group, the problems facing British Speedway are now at a point that they are beyond fixing thanks to you & your friends short sighted fook-ups
  9. Just like Niels had his fans meeting which you was expecting him to stay but he didn't. I don't believe the next signing will have an average over 7.00
  10. Those that want Roscoe sacked need to explain is, which Brits he should of signed over what he's already got? Woffy not in the EL Harris and King always staying at Cov Lambert at King's Lynn So what people are saying is Swindon should run a Premier League outfit in the Elite League?
  11. I think the choice has to be between him & Roynon. Not much else to choose from
  12. Hasn't that been the problem with the riders we've had. Only Robert Lambert could make a pass happen
  13. Yep, he certainly had all that last time he rode for us. I believe him coming back can recapture that belief in himself.
  14. I'm so chuffed Mads is back, Buster is being true to his word in delivering a side that has more heart, passion and entertainment. Certainly should deliver some racing
  15. I can't see Buster paying out on a superstar. Before you say we had Niels, we wouldn't have to pay overseas travel expenses due to him living in the UK.
  16. May be at King's Lynn. We currently only have Batchelor as our heatleader
  17. Believe it's to be in the evening. They put a press release out saying rider's will be announced on our new race day of Thursday instead of the fans meeting. 7.45 is our tapes-up time
  18. Correct, make risk by the Revolution team to run Jawa's
  19. I think your wrong but you may also be right. We'll never know. One thing for sure, he owes us nothing. He's gone above & beyond to deliver on track for us and that's what he gets paid to do. I suspect, this change is about ambition to develope and better himself and a change of scenery may deliver just that. This may also have come about because of his accident, knowing life is short and financial gains cannot be ignored. I certainly don't expect rider's to see out the career at one club
  20. Simon Lambert 2010 PL Ave 3.42 2015 PL Ave 5.19
  21. Could you add the number of matches & rides to the list?
  22. Yep, and I feel Lambert and MJJ won't be classed as such
  23. #KLStars 2016? 1 Batchelor 6.91 2 Schlein 6.24 3 Bjarne P 6.55 4 MJJ 6.52 5 Lambert 6.59 6 Kerr 4.22 (4.69) 7 Rose 3.00 Ave 40.03 (40.50)
