  1. Mainly because most fans are between 50 -70 ....maybe the way forward is to charge for the toilet ... maybe 2 pound a piss ...clubs would rake it in .
  2. Spot on .. i think matches seem better years back because the crowds etc were bigger giving a better atmosphere
  3. There are crashes that make you just want to turn the tv off and that was one of them ...i really did fear the worst and thank god they got up .. scary
  4. One thing this shows is how important Greyhound racing can be to Speedway still . Its given a chance for the stadium to open and then allow speedway to be ran in it . Just go's to show how crazy that anti Greyhound nut job at swindon who trying to shut the dogs down saying it would help speedway was
  5. Yea we are going to start work next May so you can't used the stadium for another season .....''This is great news for the club and we look forward to 2023 season in a brand new Stadium . We would also like to thank Clarke Osborne , Justin Tomlinson and Gaming int for there Outstanding Contribution in turning a dream into reality ''
  6. Dont matter how much they pay for it if no one is willing to promote it plus is can be used for other events ... The bottom line Morton and Gordon nearly ended Belle Vue speedway and left with a black mark against there name
  7. And even more extraordinary nearly closed the club the next year
  8. People to quick to blame speedway in general but the bottom line this was just a poorly ran business, speedway club or no speedway club
  9. No point .. he comments on the facebook swindon fans saying that he can't get hold of anyone or that its been sign off he cant do anything about it . He's been a complete let down to the fans even thou he was warned by them about about GI when the project started and they have just walk all over him and now he has no power over them bar saying they cant built any more houses .. Just waiting for the final bs from him telling us he will search for a new site for us what of course he won't
  10. Different from what ? The Stadium should been built by early summer so if they meet with them they should have been told what the delay is and quite clearly there is a delay . If Ga have refused to talk or wont give any info then the statement should tell us that . That would show that the club are making a effort to chase it up rather that waiting for something that clearly is not going to come ....You cant keep quiet when your speedway club is on the verge of closing its about keeping the pressure on and keeping it in the public eye not doing what they want you to do .
  11. In what way ? i said it works on the island but wont work elsewhere ...No reversing at all .
  12. I think you guys doing a great job dont get me wrong .so its nothing against you guys ...Just saying that i don't think it will work elsewhere thou i could be wrong of course .. saying that Barry Bishops flying Circus has a certain ring to it Ps have you got Charlie Cairoli number ?
  13. You already said that more people are on there hols in the uk after covid so your answer your own question ... Dont get me wrong Barry is good and what hes doing but the likes you have got ott about it ...Easy to run a speedway club for 6 weeks in prime summer . If Eastbourne close he can take it on and run these events between march and oct ... then we shall what the crowds are like
  14. What are the stock car crowds like at the iow during the summer holidays ? The bottom line is we have had 30 pages about how speedway is ran as the cause of Eastbourne problems but no one knows for sure what has happened . For all we know someone could have there hand in the cookie jar . Lets up see the iow run the flying circus from march to oct next year to see what the results are .
  15. The subject is Eastbourne .. Eastbourne had bigger crowds at a early stage so there plight the subject we are talking about has little to do with covid just rank bad mangerment .. To much is made of what is going on in the iow .. its a captive audience in Holiday season .Fair play to the people who run it because they have maximize it but the chances of it working elsewhere are zero
  16. iow is speedway ran on a holiday island in holiday time . As for covid Eastbourne crowds were bigger at the start before covid restrictions were lifted .Do you really think that the iow circus act would work elsewhere ?
  17. Of course they can... they can explain on what has happened when they have spoken to Gi i guess they have seeing no stadium is being built after yet another broken promise. even if Gi have given no reply to there questions . if they are not trying to contact them then that is even worst . its hardly a lot to ask . The lack of pressure put on Gi by the club the press and the local mp has been shocking to be honest . Looks like yet again another con by Gi is going to work with a barely a wimper of oppo
  18. The fact remains in nearly every sport a winning team will get bigger crowds .. you might not like it but that is how it is
  19. Of course it matters quite clearly not to you but to the majority it will ... People go to watch there team win
  20. No statement from the Club about the stadium in ages on what is or in this case what is not going on ..a poor show by anyone standards
  21. You wonder even if they do well what the point is .. You seen what Woffy and Lambert have done ... never ride in our league again and cant even be arse to ride in there own National Final . Bar doing well in the World cup -league of nations we get nothing back unless are league bucks up so these riders want to ride here
  22. I think Buster will ok once he's calm down , quite clearly he got upset about last nights events and made a heat of the moment statement ...Kl and Boro like most speedway clubs are worthless and impossible to sell in fact you cant give them away as they just lose money thou buster might do ok at KL as he's got less overheards etc I expect he will carry on running at Kl next year and drop Boro putting them at peril of ever running again .
