Not being funny who still has a daily news paper or even local paper ? they are all full of yesterdays news - if the sport is trying to attract the next generation of fans news papers certainly isn’t the place that will get them along to the tracks , all publicity is good don’t get me wrong but it’s 2019 not 1970s .

Yes I’ve criticised how the club has announced the team this winter - but in Speedball case it’s a definite plan in the clubs case to me it’s been a muddle along make up as we go along winter . take yesterday new team sponsor and Toft announcement the same day if it was to max out media coverage why announce both the same day ? It’s whats been said by Trees for one max out media coverage so two bits of news on the same day bet Poltec not too pleased .

Spot on and top post - think you should be working with the promotion

Opportunity missed yet again (if correct ) thought this delaying to announce the team was to max out media exposure but when you find out via a forum it says it all

Good point you never no

Well least you have your team Kings Lynn fans are still waiting.

More controversial ? couldn’t be much worse than the mess British Speedway in at present.

can hardly wait

When they was putting there team together possibly

Would have thought he was a dead cert for the Witches team . We shall see .

I wonder if Scott Nichols is going to be a surprise addition? If he’s not already signed for another PL club .

That’s the best post I’ve read in ages just saying it as it is - and I agree 100%

Season tickets at KL for many years have not been worth buying miss one meeting then your on a loser - offer fans a good deal then they would sell more .

If the team can be worked out through the process of elimination the point of drip feeding fans for the local radio stations and papers is more or less pointless as the team is already known , so the excuse it’s for media exposure is pointless- for me the best way is do it in one hit get radio tv press along with those who sponsors the club and riders - and do a live stream via social media.

Social media is definitely were the next generation of fans will come from - speedway sadly is stuck in the 1970s

Absolutely spot on - we got more information back in the day when all we had was the local press and the Speedway Star - a lot of people blamed Marc Gent when he was in charge of press release and social media for lack of information and I was one of them but clearly it wasn’t his fault - I’ve never known any business to take its customers for granted in this way and it’s a very dangerous game to play in my view .

Doesn’t change the photos from the other night though -though any media has to be good but it will get to the point were more people will pay OAP concession (if there is one now ?) than pay adult admission price that day isn’t far away .

Yea Radio Norfolk listeners just about sums up the average age of those who attended Tatum and Pearson’s get together going by the photos on social media , and that’s one of Speedway’s major problems an ever ageing supporters fan base not being replaced with the next generation.

Must admit I’ve not studied each clubs fixtures but it’s not rocket science that Pboro and KL really don’t want to be racing home meetings on the same night .

Can’t believe there is no Witches v Stars and Stars v Witches fixtures on Good Friday that for me was the one thing I thought for certain would happen- missed opportunity I think

And I doubt one man owns 3 of the 7 teams in Poland

Sadly I think both Ipswich and Peterborough fans will be saying the same - it is all about saving the PL and the tv deal with BT - only in speedway could you have one man effectively owning 3 clubs in a 7 team league .

It absolutely stinks if Harris ends up at either Lynn or Ipswich if he does this is the precise reason why one man shouldn’t effectively own 3 clubs in a 7 team league . If he was was to end up at either club it’s another nail in Speedway’s credibility coffin .
