Belle Vues National Speedway Stadium
Daniel Smith replied to Phil The Ace's topic in Speedway News and Discussions
Still believe? The way this is going it will cost Aces fans £40 a meeting -
Definitely agree with a comment made earlier that Morris, Rossiter & Lyon need to get with Lambert and his party & go over it. The BSPA (& to a point, rightly so) won't give a flying fook to Lambert's opinion. The league structures and costs are the top priorities of the BSPA. Those leading the line for GB have a responsibility to bringing youngsters in line & being available at all times to sort these issues. Also, giving Lambert Woffinden's phone No' & vice versa could be a huge factor.

Was Smolinski's performance that much of a surprise? Not for me after his Best Pairs riding. Showed then he's gonna mix it -

how can you even suggest Darcy had any blame in that -

That was horrid. Hope Darcy is OK -

Harris, Oh dear -
Maybe the comments are taken out of context, maybe they're not. Either way they are not great reading. Does come across big headed. Just like Micheal Lee, the BSPA could make life very awkward for him and it doesn't sound like the German authorities want him kicking around their National squad either. At such a young age The talking should be done on track on a regular basis not from the mouth. If he knock in double figures week in week out then he can have his say. Good luck to the kid and all top rider's need that edge of arrogance, it's how you demonstrate it that's important. He got this slightly wrong, all part of the learning curve.

Speedway Best Pairs
Daniel Smith replied to DutchGrasstrack's topic in International World of Speedway
So, the average is a more accurate picture to the viewing numbers. The Best Pairs over ran on it's schedule so half the viewing numbers could have been people tuning in for the next programme for example. -
Speedway Best Pairs
Daniel Smith replied to DutchGrasstrack's topic in International World of Speedway
FFS people, reality check time. It doesn't seem to matter who the commentators are for our sport you lot can't help yourselves but moan about it. Considering Jack Burnicle isn't a speedway man and thrown into the deep end by Eurosport he did a bloody good job. Best Pairs, SEC, SGP, SWC, British Elite League, Swedish Elitserien are all on UK screens this season. Couldn't give 2 sh!ytes who the commentators are, we have speedway on the box. This is what we've wanted for many of years yet you're still not happy. Jeez -
Janusz Kolodziej Mateusz Borowicz Crash
Daniel Smith replied to Daniel Smith's topic in International World of Speedway
If that is it, that is truly amazing news Phil. Borowicz was out cold as Kolo had nowhere to go but hit him -
Speedway Livestream 6 Days A Week
Daniel Smith replied to SpeedwayTShirts's topic in Speedway News and Discussions
Don't be frightened by whats happening here, embrace it. This could only have an up sell to your business as more people get to see the events. This could also mean more DVD sales not less. Bare in mind that also, betting sites are adult only and I should imagine most DVD sales would be for younger eyes to view. If you fear for your DVD sales then I would be concerned that you don't believe in your production qualities enough. Pretty much free advertising, give it a big cuddle. -
Woofy Still Getting Good Media Coverage

In your opinion I just Googled 'F1 drivers with tattoos' in images. Come back to me once you've had a look -
How Would You Improve Presentation?
Daniel Smith replied to oldtimer's topic in Speedway News and Discussions
Agreed, teenage kicks has no place on the terraces with modern teenager's. That song hasn't aged well in my opinion, if there's a different more modernised version maybe but not the original -
Woofy Still Getting Good Media Coverage
Daniel Smith replied to Steve Shovlar's topic in Speedway News and Discussions
Tai came across very well on Game Changers this morning. Seeing as it's based around kids none of them seemed put off by his physical appearance. He seemed to enjoy himself and isn't frightened to make an idiot of himself either. He really is the best thing Britain has had in the sport for decades and I've turned into a major fan of his. -
How Would You Improve Presentation?
Daniel Smith replied to oldtimer's topic in Speedway News and Discussions
Obviously there are limitations regarding some clubs but it's down to them to come up with idea. Just because some clubs can't have airhorns doesn't mean the rest of the sport should follow suit And that alone is a major problem. We need the teens & early 20's to come in. The only way to do that is to make sure it's enjoyable. I don't care what anyone says, the racing alone will never achieve that. We need to create a whole package from 7pm to 10pm, no gaps / dead spots. Does every genre need to be covered? I don't think so. When you look at most people, especially the older generation they generally just have a good old chin wag during breaks. For me, music is for the younger generation to enjoy. Again, keeping them interested with filling gaps. With the music, before and after races it has to be up beat high tempo stuff. Once the 2 mins is hit there should be classic tense music. At King's Lynn they've done this occasionally and it does bring people's focus back to race time. -
King's Lynn's main rivals are Peterborough & Ipswich. Reason is they're close and they're shyte. Always plenty of banter when the 2 teams clash (not always friendly). Always check for their results and love it when they get battered. It's just a great shame they're both in different leagues. One thing is certain though, I'd never want one of these tracks to close down. In terms of rivalry in the Elite League today, the only little bit of bitterness remains with Birmingham but that has only filtered over from both our Premier League days. Some decent clashes and war of words between clubs management. Other than that it's all hugs and kisses

How Would You Improve Presentation?
Daniel Smith replied to oldtimer's topic in Speedway News and Discussions
I've mentioned this on the Lynn v Gora thread. It peez me of with how boring the atmosphere at tracks is. I think atmosphere is the one thing that WILL bring people back. An awesome atmosphere makes a bad meeting ok and puts smiles on faces. This is where speedway right now is: Sh!te presentation Sh!te presenters Sh!te music Sh!te tracks Sh!te racing =Sh!te atmosphere What I'd do: Theme nights for spectators Music & presenters to include crowd interaction Cheaper airhorns, speedway is about noise Get the fans to bring a football / Polish speedway style singing crowd (I'd so be into this) How likely is this? 0. Promoters are only interested in taking and 0 giving back -
Eurosport Take Swedish League
Daniel Smith replied to remembertheracers's topic in International World of Speedway
I watched the ice speedway the other day and the guy commentating on there is dull and I switched it off. The commentator has to have a little bit of enthusiasm for the viewer to enjoy it -
Is that Matt Williamson face planted in 169 and is he ok? Awkward looking photo

Getting better though, there is a more mature but youthful exuberance exploding out of their posts. Good working progress
