That certainly will not help this situation Speedway finds itself in. Cost should be kept to an absolute minimum or your Supporter base will drop. We are already seeing this happen. I don't know what the solution is, if indeed there is one. I do think that things like a Campaign on Social Media might help. I am not a very Technical person and wouldn't know where to start something like that - but surely Social Media should be used to push our Sport more than it is at present. Surely someone at the BSPA has the nouse to start something going. Waiting to be shot down in flames.

Well he certainly seems to have turned things around.....................

:rofl:

Looks like he could be in for a very good Season for the 'Aces'. Let's hope so. :approve:

No my friend I didn't. I have always been very well treated at Newcastle even though I am a Mackem. I thoroughly enjoyed my times at both Newcastle and Redcar. I made many friends at both Tracks. I would still have loved a Team at Sunderland though......................................................

I sincerely hope that the School Holidays works for them - in the end - that can only benefit Speedway.

Yes - excellent stuff gustix.

They must be having a 'Giraff'. :rofl: :rofl:

I am sad to hear of Joonas's retirement. I loved watching him on the Television. I thought that he was an extremely talented and exciting Rider to watch. I wish him well for his retirement.

Aye - those were the days. We were often 'upstairs' at the Stadium having a drink, a laugh and a chat with sometimes all seven Team Members. A great time was had by all. Nowadays it end of Heat 15 usually - then off home. Such a shame - but - such is progress.

I did the Review for Newcastle a few years ago.

Sadly no-one will listen. The Second Half System brought us loads of British Speedway 'Stars' back in the Seventies. We, Great Britain, won everything in sight. They changed the System - and look where we are now. :sad:

Are you a Representative of the North East Tourist Board OVF? Great Post. B)

I hope that you two have a great time on your travels ProperSport and HT. Hope the Weather is kind to you too. ENJOY!!!!

A good positive idea woodenspoon. :approve:

I like the Racejacket on your Avatar WG1884. That was always my favourite. Before the Advertisers got their grubby hands on the front of said Racejackets. :nono:

You could be right. I, for one though, sincerely hope that you are wrong.

The Council will probably believe whatever makes them benefit more financially. Or - am I a cynic........

It looks incredibly sad for 'Bees' Supporters and the Club itself.

By golly - Donald Trump is starting his wall a long way from Mexico. :unsure:

Gauranteed a 'Like' is the mention of Anderson's Pies. They are great. I am going to a Meeting at Redcar in a few weeks time to see a Sunderland Team racing. Rather knocks your argument on the head - doesn't it?

I agree to a point - but - FOUR HOURS is ridiculous. Allowing for the 'extras' at a Testimonial Meeting - I reckon two and a half to three hours with three hours being the absolute limit. You are right when you say that you have to consider the Rider whose Testimonial is being celebrated - but surely you should consider the paying public too. Without them - it wouldn't be much of a Testimonial.

Yes. Fair comment Paulco. I take your point.

AAhh right. Thanks very much Paulco. A ridiculous time for a Meeting that. :nono: I reckon, if it was cold, I would have left before the end.

Where was this SCB?
