  1. I think that maybe he has taken on too much? CEO and TM combined must be a full on role, especially considering the SON and BF will also need organising.. (And he needs to find half a million quid for the SON!!!)... He has often seemed to miss an obvious trick when it comes to TAC SUB rides and ensuring "hot reserves" get plenty of rides... Maybe just concentrating on the CEO job, (even if just for this one season given all on his plate), would help him?
  2. Scott was there.. Should just have used him... Watching it last night, it did really have no "Wow" factor in any way shape or form.. If I was someone watching in or around Leicester, there certainly wouldn't have been any feeling of "FOMO"... Tedious follow the leader racing, fulfilling every "first out of the gate wins" cliché, with a crowd looking both sparse and "freezing" if those huddled together near the start line were reflective of the evening... As someone previously mentioned, if this racing was in Poland, in front of 10,000 home fans screaming their heads off, you would watch and think "I need to be there"... Not many watching will have had that same feeling last night... Out of the three meetings yesterday, Birmingham seemed to offer up the best (only?) racing... BHM's used to be a huge opportunity to sell your product in front of big crowds... It certainly didnt look like there were any "big crowds" yesterday...
  3. Is he American? I didn't know.. Maybe Kelvin should mention it more.. Smashing...
  4. No real point though for that is there..? It is UK Speedway after all.... Rinse and Repeat ad infinitum.. Nothing really changes, so a waste of time and money having investigations etc... Just crack on with the rest of the season and lets get all giddy for the play offs, and the "bumper crowds" they bring, plus the return of Robert Lambert to one of the four teams, and the chance to play the annual "Who will Bomber guest for?" Bingo.. Breaking News. Those who run UK Speedway are not very good at it... They were not very good at it 25 years ago, and stll wont be much good at it in 25 years time.. (Assuming it is still with us, obviously)..
  5. Could we get her to run UK Speedway?
  6. Who paid for the SON of a few years ago? Two meetings, Saturday and Sunday... Only cost around fifty quid for both... Presume that wasn't a quarter of a million?
  7. SON tickets at those prices should have gone in sale in December.. An Xmas present for someone, or even yourself...
  8. Agreed... There will still probably be more there though than attended citeh's "4 in a row" parade last evening...
  9. Looking at the amount of seats left in the grandstand currently, it may not be a bad result.. For a BHM meeting v Sheffield it is very surprising... SON and BF ticket costs impacting the Aces' "bread and butter" meetings?
  10. And, on days like today, Saves me around £100 as the result will be largely irrelevant in the context of a top four finish..
  11. Got to love Polish Speedway... Over here you would get loads moaning "keep the noise down"...
  12. They could have gone all the way... The torrential rain would still have been there..
  13. Bring Bomber in to guest...... Worked in the play offs... Until Sheffield nabbed him for the final... Best of luck to Doyley.....
  14. In the Speedway Star it says that replacing Milik was a cost cutting exercise and that the last couple of crowds were not where they would like them to he.. Saving on Milik's travel being a saving mentioned..
  15. Shush.... Carpet, lift, brush....
  16. And achieved it all without 115 allegations of cheating too.... Shows it can be done..
  17. "Have you ever rode a Speedway bike? Risking your life for our entertainment" The stock comment on any Speedway social media site to anyone daring to criticise anyone who rides a Speedway bike "for our entertainment".. With the stock answer being.. "See if they do it for free"....
  18. Wozniak... One of the few in Poland who isn't intimidated by Zmarzlik when he rides against him...
