As i told you before rosco said ward more than paid for a reason for himself ..so dont bring it up again as its a void point . Not a case of me selling the plays offs as they are here to stay .its up to you to come up with a reson why the crowds would be bigger without them and you cant -

Yet again no one has ever said they were the saviour of sport so I am not why keep bringing that up ...yet again you keep going on about thou matches what you say had poor crowds but they fail to come with any reason whey would be bigger if the play offs were not in place . As Rosco pointed out ward more than paid for himself so yet another void point . the bottom line Swindon got Ward and Bigger crowds as they were chasing the plays offs i have already explained twice in the last hour about what a silly point it is to saying that should get rid of something that is good just because we survived without it before ...but then you go and say it again in your next post ....as i said should we get rid of the internet ,cable tv etc just before we got on without them before ? . If you are going get rid of something you need to come with a reason why it would be better without ..and thus far you can't up with any bar we survived before . -

??? there are a million things in life that we survive without tomorrow but that does not mean that is reason not to have them ..Do you think we should get rid of the internet as we Survived without it before ? do you think we should rid of cars ? after all we Survive without out them before ? ....Do you think we should get rid of cable tv ? after all we used to survive just watching 4 stations .......yours is just a crazy logic to base things on -

If we cut both your legs off tomorrow you might survive but that does means we should we do it .so it's the same with the play offs ..why would you get rid of something that is good just because you would survive anyhow . -
Play Offs Should They Be Scrapped.?
orion replied to stratton's topic in Speedway News and Discussions
Asked me what ? what is the question ? people have given you the reasons why more people would go because the play offs over and over again ...when you have been asked why the crowds would flock if we removed them have you have not been able to give any reasons why or apply logic to why they would come back . No matter what the rules Speedway will always carry on in some format but let again I don't what that has got to with play offs ...I expect if Darts was not on tv for example people still play the game in the pub . As for the point about clubs staying in business any rule that is taken away than means less fans is likely to put clubs in with more chance of going out of business .. yet again that is just common sense -

orion replied to stratton's topic in Speedway News and Discussions
It's not me it's the majority of sports fans world wide ..that is why we have them in sport ....You not come up with one thing that links empty spaces to the play offs or one reason why fans would somehow rush back because we have them no more ..when you do let us all know . -

orion replied to stratton's topic in Speedway News and Discussions
Yet again because of the play offs it brings plenty of fans in during the season as well ..so it's not just the end of season ..your plan is stop that so less people go . -

orion replied to stratton's topic in Speedway News and Discussions
I think it's common sense that more people are going go to matches that mean something than not ....you really don't need any stats to back that up ..you have to be very naïve to think otherwise Going on how speedway was and how fans used to act 20 years ago has no bearing on how the modern person or fan acts . -

orion replied to stratton's topic in Speedway News and Discussions
Yet again it was explain before who don't have to make the play offs for them to help you ....they help you in terms of crowds numbers if have a chance of still making them rather that the season being over by may .. as for the same teams and bigger clubs making them every year Belle Vue are a massive clubs and have not made the play offs for years intill this season ...Wolves another massive club were bottom ...there is no need for any of the current teams not to have a chance of making the top 4 . Not sure understand about savy fans ...you reckon that they were all turn up if matches meant nothing -

? all sports tend to reward the teams that do well that is the whole point of doing well . a lot of people have a school of thought that speedway has been back by trying to help the weakest all the time ....in speedway due to the points limit there hardly a team sport that tries to even things out ...Poole were not always a big club Ford as well as cheating worked hard to put them where they are today and nows he gets the rewards , others can do the same if the wish no reason why Wolves should be bottom etc . -

orion replied to stratton's topic in Speedway News and Discussions
Yet another silly post as has already been explain many times and quite clearly the Pl does not need to have a play offs as it its has plenty of money and there are plenty of reasons to have matches that matter ....champions league spots teams can go down a division and massive pay jumps on where you come in the league ..unlike speedway who have none of these .if Speedway had all that they there would be no need plays offs sadly that is not the case . Yet again you are incorrect about where it matters where you finish in the league as where finish help pick who you race ..so another wrong fact ..of course you don't give toss about what other sports used play offs because it shows that no other sport have a problem with play offs and they work ..so as I said it must be another only in uk speedway myth ...As for you have seen no sign of crowds going up when trying to get 4th place you must miss out of the crowds Belle Vue and Swindon were getting last year when going for them ...maybe you had your eyes shut .... -

orion replied to stratton's topic in Speedway News and Discussions
incorrect as has been pointed out there plenty of matches outside the playoffs that are worthwhile going to ..the whole system makes more worthwhile matches ....Why would a so called savy fan not go to a match that was important under the play offs rules but then go to the same match that has nothing riding on it once the play offs have been removed ? As has already been pointed out as well in all the other sports including speedway in Poland and Sweden hardly anyone has a problem with the play off system and it being credible so why would it be a problem in the uk ..yet again another only in uk speedway myth -

As Rosco said to me having Ward in the side and making play offs with the extra tv money more than paid for ward wages ..so the answer to your question the plays offs have helped Swindon get bigger crowds overall last season . the matches you spoke about even if the crowds were quite low would have been even lower without Ward and the play offs . -

You never saw the gates get better when Ward joined Swindon to help them get into the playoffs last year ? by all accounts they went up about 17 % ...how more of a recent example do you want ? -

The play offs have not be proved to be broken thou ..the nl is a bad example as the riders ride for peanuts and the crowd is likely to stay the same -
