How Would You Improve Presentation?
ruffdiamond replied to oldtimer's topic in Speedway News and Discussions
well,,, was good to hear a bit more upto date music at Newcastle last night,,, Ludvigs gotta new 'jingle', (more cooler with the younger generation) heared a bit of Ferel Whalliams, (whoever he is),,, I think Roy dose a half decent job of the introducing, with some wise cracks and banter,,, not too impressed with the 'fireworks' tho,,, don't think they would've looked any better in my garden, (n a live in a flat, lol),,, but as long as they put some warmth into the air, it all helps :-) -

quickly delete this before TWK see's it, lol -
maybe he had turned too many wheels in the past ;-)
-
not sure if thats meant to be sincere or not ???
-
no wonder he can't make out the riders, with all them corks buzzing around, lol
-
thanks for that, :-)
-
al pick his poo up, lol,,, can dog's come to a speedway meeting ???,,, sure av seen some there in the past,,, cos I was thinking about taking in some away meetings as well while I'm travelling, n me two little freinds will be with us,,,
-
how many do you need ???,,, I might come along, but would I be allowed to bring my dog and let him run round the track, then stand on the podium thing and pretend he won a prize :-) ???

but it's not doing that,,, if your in a town with a big football club,,, and your child says they are into speedway at school or whatever, they'd be outcast and not cool, which puts them under 'peer' pressure,,, then all they'll want to do is stay at home on the x-box, or watch the telly and enter into the world of 'I'm a celebrity, turn me into a kick-ass zombie',,, and just shout down when they want fed or a drink, lol,,, -

gotta agree with what you say, and think you've hit the nail right on the head there,,, but, IMO, the sport is supported by, 'mainly' the older generation, who, unfortunately have passed the 'pivotal point', in which I mean,,, they have reached that stage when, they've grown up and looked forward to and discovered new things, then passed that point,,, where, new stuff and technology is way too complicated and can't fit it in their ageing hard drive,,, and are on the path of the latter, of your 'ultimatums',,, just a thought ;-)
-
to be honest,,, being able to run a couple of speedway bikes and get paid for having fun on it, must be such a chore,,, and wasting money on some flash apparel is terrible :-(,,,
-
and if it comes off in the wind,,, I could just look at the number on their back, yeah ???,,, thanks
-
as long as we can tell who they are and what team their in,,, that'll do for me, ;-)

Tape Touching - New Regulation
ruffdiamond replied to Mike.Butler's topic in Speedway News and Discussions
if the tapes were made from 'bunjee cord',,, I bet the offenders would definately think twice about doing it again :-) -
do they look good,,, what colour,,, black, white n blue based ???
-
they looked like a right old lot of raggy arsed rovers,,, they just turned up in what ever they could find a think :-( anyone that did'nt know them would of thought they were members of the track staff, or the gadgies grafting on the stairs, lol

Tape Touching - New Regulation
ruffdiamond replied to Mike.Butler's topic in Speedway News and Discussions
try convincing all the whingers,,, if a rider is moving at the start, he has a 50/50 chance of getting a flyer or missing it, some you win some you lose :-(,,, even if riders were in stalls or dog traps, (for big dogs),,, they will still not come out equally/evenly,,, some people react quicker than others and is that not makes them a better sportsperson,,, how many times has a rider laid a bike down to avoid a stricken rider ?, quick reactions,,, how many times has a rider been hit when down ?, maybe not so quick reactions,,,, so why penalise riders if the tapes are'nt touched or broken ??? -
yeah,,, he's a real character,,, have to admit, I was'nt too excited when we got him, really frustrating at times (IMO),,, but, gotta say, really nice lad and glad we have got him :-) also,,, Lewis Rose looked ok, if that was his first spin :-)
