  1. 2,500 or so I would guess.... A couple of hundred, (maybe more?) Aces fans boosting the attendance..
  2. Having to log back in seven times was somewhat annoying ..😁 Luckily I only missed two laps of a race (Ht13), and the Aces were on a 5-1 when I logged back in!! The coverage is good though, and I get many more than expected bought the stream, (me being one), so hopefully they will sort out the issue going forward.. The racing, for Sheffield, was ok, it's just a shame the track is so narrow on the bends given the speed they hit them.. It looked like a very decent crowd, which shows, once again, that there is a following for Speedway if the product makes it worth attending... The NSS will have 3,000 plus there on Friday, me and my lad being two of them now, yet at least 1500 of us won't have regularly attended all season.. Make the product credible, give it some jeopardy and consequence, add in a wider variety of teams, and those 1500 or so would attend far more often.. Especially if you open your doors, often, during the warmer, drier, months!!
  3. Hopefully, we get, at least, seven teams with around ten GP riders involved... Tonight showed, unfortunately, the difference between the top level lads, and the young kids who really shouldn't be exposed to to that level, yet... As the crowd tonight showed, there is enough followers of the sport... You just need to make the sport something that people can get engaged enough with for several months..
  4. To be fair, the start of the season said Blodurn, Zischke, and Cook were a huge gamble, according to many.. The engine room has proven to be the big plus..
  5. Luckily, the NSS is going to be filled.. So the usual seven seater taxi won't be missed..
  6. Kurtz and Doyle, a different level.. A shame to be honest as the second leg is probably a shoe in... Great to watch top class riders do what only they can do...
  7. Getting peed off by having to keep logging in.. Is BSN always like this?...
  8. To be fair, they don't bring many to the NSS ever, and don't have too many followers at home.. Utopia is a Sheffield lead by 12 or so, as hopefully, they may bring a few on Friday, which creates a bit of atmosphere...
  9. Tate looked like he was riding on a ride on Blackpool Pleasure Beach!!
  10. Drizzle at Owlerton... And ordered the bloody BSN stream too.... A wet track could help Sheffield, wasnt it wet when they beat Ipswich?...
  11. Or indeed, fans of any other teams who are watching on a screen... The same fans who always watch Poole matches, and then always complain the racing is rubbish!!! Every. Single. Time!!!!!
  12. I would imagine the risk is another accident .. Down to five riders would leave them with little cover, especially as no tac subs...
  13. Use a credit card... Do 50, £500 "Gold VIP" season tickets with lots of extras, free bar, free spare tickets, etc, that would raise £25k.. Get a bank loan... It's £46k not £460k...
  14. Some good out of season publicity for Plymouth... An air fence fund will keep them in the minds of the people in the town... Meaning some good interest created for next season.. Best of luck with the fund raising, if I was involved in their marketing I would make it as dramatically close to the season start as is possible before announcing... "Thank you Plymouth! We have made it!!!"...
  15. It certainly looks like part of the back wheel "could" be on the line, therefore even using Speedways equivalent to VAR the decision wouldn't have been overturned..

  17. What are "cleaning apps?".. Asking for a friend... Just like all citeh's trophies "won" since 2008, there should be an "*" next to the name of Poole on the list of 2nd Division winners... To be honest though, I can't tell whether Cook's two wheels were on the infield, so unless "a body of irrefutable evidence" comes along (like citeh said they had over two years ago), then the ref was correct...
  18. Didn't know this meeting was on until I came on here.. Saw the result and to be honest I was a bit surprised to see that Sheffield gave Kings Lynn permission to use Max Fricke.. 😁
