  1. See it now, I don't know what it is but for 30yrs now I've gotten these 2 mixed up all the time. Apologies for any offence regarding Carter Can't promise I won't get mixed up again mind, no idea why I do it with these 2. Taking myself to a corner:-
  2. I just find it disgusting that it should be suggested that the biggest thing Kennett ever did should be ignored, forgotten about, just to wax lyrical about him because he's a Speedway rider. Absolutely not. He's defined his history as a murder, end of. If people want to talk about him expect the full history, not selected history. Like everyone whose committed very serious crime, his whole life history belongs in the bin if you're not willing to have the full conversion
  3. We were all hoping that GB had a chance in the SON. So far over both meetings Woffinden & Lambert are seriously lacking speed
  4. They may be exempt but planes won't fly for 2 people
  5. Oh ffs, thanks to you lot, I've now just realised I'm also a fokkin Aussie
  6. Well I hope all the UK promoter's say "you dropped us so suck it up".
  7. I still watch all Speedway online / TV. I'm just not wasting money trackside on the UK dross if that's ok
  8. I may be wrong but I think the rider's running the Anlas tyres were 1st & 2nd more often than Mitas & carried far greater straight line speeds too. Any stato to verify?? It would be nice to see which tyre each rider is using & engine manufacturer / tuner
  9. What exactly is the objection about?? If I owned a stadium right now I too would be looking at other possible income /selling up options. Speedway is dead, let's be real
  10. A nice round of applause for Connor Mountain & Ricky Wells. Good to see them in the points.
  11. What the hell is this nonsense Speedway is on it's backside because people are walking away (or dead) & not being replaced. All the above are catering for those that are already at the meetings. A newbie will have zero interest in bike setup's, meeting formats, ex-rider's, merch, museum pieces etc. This comes later if you regularly keep returning. All you've done is run off stuff YOU'RE interested in & will add nothing to bring in outsider's. Apologies as I know I've been a quite rude but these ideas keep being rewashed year in year out. Not meaning to be angry at you but this isn't what's needed. I've seen mentions of 20-30 heats too, why?? 15 heats are pretty boring now so why make people hang around for an extra hour of more boring racing?? Speedway is a very very simple sport. It just needs to stop all the modern day faffing about, delays between heats, fixed 2mins like GP's etc. There needs to be a hige crackdown on track standards, these bikes don't like grippy tracks. Make them all slick. 1hr 30mins per meeting as standard, from parade to parade. It needs to be all students free. 2 meetings, mid summer, £5 adults & concessions. 200-300 free family ticket giveaways in town / city centres & / or supermarkets. Get scheme's set up with Primary / Secondary School's. Basic basic basic ideas. Speculate to accumulate. Speedway doesn't need to be clever, it just needs to get "The Main Event" right. Get that right, everything else will fall in to place.
  12. Shows how bad thing's are for us right now, Peterborough's No7 for our 2nd in the averages
  13. I don't get why he's getting personal grief then, unless as captain, it's something to do with the team overall being battered by fans & taking it personally??
  14. The question for me, is it Lynn fans because he's been doing well for Lynn or Eastbourne, don't know how he's going for them??
  15. Exactly the reason why the only choice would be the one suggested in Olly Allen. Rider's would trust & believe in him
  16. That has crossed many people's minds I'm sure, but it doesn't make any sense. The stadium would have an average inactivity of 5-6 days a week. Speedway meeting's & training / practice days a big part to mid week use. As much as cars are the biggest income for the stadium, I don't think the stadium would be financially viable if either sport was lost.
  17. Blame me - says Buster http://www.kingslynn-speedway.com/news.php?extend.31099
  18. That's a fair point but unfortunately take us over by 0.26. 5.02 or below to replace Wells or, 10.93 for Wells & Heeps
