Haza

I’ve been lucky enough to visit many stadiums in Poland over the years as you say our stadiums are dated in some cases very dated - while Buster has worked wonders on the kings Lynn stadium with out doubt the way I look at it is the stadiums in Poland are for speedway only here it’s very different KL is a stock car stadium that just happens to run speedway others are dog stadiums- if we want to attract bigger crowds first thing promoters need to do is promote the sport and try to attract new fans the die hards are getting fewer and fewer as in my case was totally fed up by being taken for granted that I will turn up each week . 2021 is a massive season for the sport without doubt the question I’d be asking if I was a promoter is has my fan base found other things to do ? as in my case once you get out of the habit of going it’s hard to get it back .

Definitely need to bring back the World Cup and run it every other season .

This meeting has to now be in doubt if 6 people is the new rule how can this meeting now take place ?

Why not live stream it at say £5.99.

I can remember on the following afternoon Saturday -highlights was shown on ITVs World of Sport can also remember Dickie Davies saying at the end of the coverage get yourself along to Kings Lynn tonight to as Kings Lynn take on Hackney in the BL go welcome home the world champion Lee and world no 2 Jessup that has to be the best free advert kings Lynn ever had . Also I seem to remember those Lynn fans who was in Sweden for the final Couldn’t get back to Lynn in time for the Saturday night at Lynn meeting there was a lot of unhappy fans about that . That night saddle Bow Road was packed .

We have a great deal as well £29.99 for broadband BT Sports free via the sky box and we pay £6.99 for HD that’s on a 18month contract if we was happy with SD it be free . It’s the second time we’ve had this deal as long as renewed before contract expires.

It still up in the air id say - things change rapidly here in the UK and Europe I’d be very cautious booking flights at the moment or none refundable hotels .

Going by that I think he’s no alternative but to call it off sadly

Some riders will never return also - some must have taken alternative work this season .

I still think speedway season starting is little more than 50/50 mainly because of costs and riders being available and the age group of the majority of fans if they will turn up it’s a big gamble - stock cars isn’t such a gamble

Stock car racing returns 1st Aug with limited crowd - will this open the way for speedway to return ?

Speedway at KL is secondary to Stock Cars without doubt - the concerns I have regarding speedway is the age group mainly 50+ will that age group turn up ? As that’s the majority age group and most vulnerable to the virus.

My guess top priority at KL is getting the stock cars up and running he must have lost a small fortune on that front .

True - it was just an idea - I then think it’s a big financial risk for any club to start the season with possibly many staying away -though could it have the opposite effect If it was to start In August 11months since last season ended could it get big crowds - who’d be a speedway promoter ? Difficult decisions lie ahead .

If and it’s still a big if the season gets under way in August with social distancing the concerns I’d have is with the age group of speedway fans ie many 50 and older how many of this group will actually turn up for meetings ? It’s a massive gamble to start the season I think unless this group turn up each week - the conclusion I’ve come to is why not for this season only live stream meetings for say £9.99 a meeting those who feel safe to go pay as normal at the gate and those who don’t feel they are able to attend watch on the live stream this way the club wouldn’t lose revenue.

March 2021 is most realistic start date sadly

I’d not disagree with that at all

My guess March 2021 is realistic start date for the Uk Season to start

Oh I’m so pleased I kept my cash in my pocket - Premier Sport use speedway as a filler nothing more nothing less if the tiddlywinks world championships was on they’d dump speedway - watch Polish league on live stream and keep your cash in your pocket

I’ve fell for PS in the past speedway coverage - and always been disappointed by there will to drop speedway for any other live sport - they use speedway as a filler when there is nothing else better - I’ve watched all the Polish meetings so far live on the internet and hasn’t cost me a penny and will watch today live

This is the exact reason Why I steered well clear of Premier Sports - thought they was showing all meetings live ?

Hopefully it will again be on YouTube Fridays was excellent quality Pity the racing didn’t match it

What about the swathes of empty seats on the top level at Cardiff ? They are not hidden by the safety fence . For me after attending every Cardiff Gp for the first 17 years I became very bored with it and fed up with rip off hotel prices and I ve not missed attending in the slightest for me the highlight of the whole weekend was the Pairs at Somerset on the Friday and the social side of Cardiff seeing friends I’d only see once a year - the whole thing needs a shake up in my opinion other than last year when it was in September most years it’s even run on the same weekend each year why not have the last gp one season ?- BV would not create the same atmosphere as Cardiff though most of it is air horns but one thing definitely the racing would be 100% better .

Totally agree for me this is the route I’d go down cancel Cardiff obviously that isn’t going to take place - and go as late as we dare in the year with the GP at BV hopefully 14 day isolation on entering the UK will have ended if we leave it late in the season then run the gp at BV with empty stadium.

Unless things change dramatically won’t matter how big the stadium is for crowds they ain’t going to be allowed to attend . And even if they was how do you keep people 2m apart ? It be a total nightmare.
