I enjoy watching crashes in any sport,always have always will and I say yes push the danger element as a selling point although to be honest there are far more dangerous sports than speedway but yes push it but guests are not an acceptable way to to run a team sport, the tribal aspect is the way to push a team sport, it’s why millions follow football and speedway is no different although you wouldn’t know it the way it’s run

When you take a step back and look att speedway from the grand scheme of things you have to conclude that the sport itself despite its woes and bad management is still moderately successful, not many other sports get the crowds either side of 1000 every week without any mainstream publicity or are even in the public consciousness, it’s expensive, it’s badly run and yet we still get crowds attending, cricket and tennis and other sports that get daily mainstream publicity and big corporate sponsorship but get less people attending outside the big events than speedway and on that basis two things really stand out, first is just how successful are stockcars and 2nd just think how big speedway could be if we got our act together and got mainstream publicity

Anyway now we have waded through the personal swipes and heard why some folk think it’s a waste of time,to those attending I look forward to seeing you on what will be a happy fun day with fellow speedway folk

The stoking of the fire between teams has been sadly lacking in modern speedway but Ipswich’s pillage of belle vue riders has certainly awakened that, Belle Vue fans are rightly reacting to it and it’s generating a real want to attend BV v Ipswich meetings next season, on the other hand does anyone know if the other 4 teams are still running

I would of thought most people are thinking of debating the posts and not the poster but then again bitter old folk with access to forums tend to be a bit sour

Thank you for that much valued input

Good for you,didn't need your life story but if you don’t blow your own trumpet who will ? And if you have a problem with my opinion and always being right don’t read it then, block me on every platform(only on Facebook)you see me spouting off on and then you can be happy knowing you don’t have to listen to my waffling ever again

There are better ways but it’s not a case of one or the other it’s do them all,every opportunity,you never know what doors open when you least expect them but definitely they won’t open if you’re not there putting yourself about

I give up, again some fans are no better than some promoters, can’t see the wood for the trees,?i doubt some people could run any sort of business, you have to be everywhere and everytime and take every opportunity to get in peoples consciousness; it’s costs nothing and the attitude that it’s not going to attract one new fan is typical short sightedness displayed in speedway and it’s why we are where we are

I was just using Ipswich as an example, it applies to every team and every opportunity should be taken no matter how insignificant it may seem

Maybe but maybe the venue isnt available in February? But what an opportunity missed by Ipswich who could of made a big reveal of their new signing at the show, tease the fans and then get bewley to enter the conference room infront of fans, I’m sure the organisers would of been very cooperative in making this happen and this goes for all teams

It feels sad for speedway in general that bewley has left belle vue, i get riders move on but it just feels wrong

Hope to see as many of you as possible next Saturday at the speedway show, a couple more teams and riders have joined and if nothing else is a good catch up, one other thing which I think sums up the mentality that is rife in the BSPL,a response to an email to the organisers from a promotion said”that time of year is time to sit back and forget about speedway” well when their supporters think it’s time to forget about speedway of which judging by their crowds most have who have they got to blame

Doyle and musielak, I like Dan but rather he stayed at belle vue

Musielak out of Ipswich, you would of thought he would be top of their list but obviously not
