Ipswich vs Kings Lynn Thursday April 9th 7.30pm KOC
TB1 replied to Aries's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
Doesn't this just prove time and time again that the sports governing body simply have no interest in making this sport both affordable and more accessible to all competitors. If a top British rider is in financial distress from trying to earn a living the powers that be should hang your bloody heads in shame! Unfortunately it won't happen as I have stated on here before the turkeys never vote for Christmas! -
I know Paul Hurry has been around for years and years ( I remember him as mascot at Hackney) in about 89 or 90. But from a coaching or management scenario what is his background and presumably the owners will have taken good advice on his appointment?
-
In the good old days when we had a functional sport with competitors. For how many years did we have the old fashioned tactical rule of using any rider when 6 points behind. I always thought it worked quite well to be honest?

Just be careful that you don't get burnt!

Where is Captain Oates and Lord Lucan?

I suspect the first few meetings will be busy due to the novelty factor, but yes it could go south rapidly. History tells us that new or newish teams are usually in fire fighting territory early on. For example Milton Keynes 1990, Skegness 1998.

Yes I think we all do. Unfortunately we are staking the sports future on a group of people who want to keep their cash registers ringing at the expense of the younger generation who will be forced back up the chimney.

Captain Mainwearing!

I know the government wants us to do more recycling, but this is taking the p1ss!
-
If this starts to go wrong does the new promoter get picked on by the other 5 playground bullies?
-
I accept the good words from the new Ipswich promoters and the hopes for Northampton and the sport in general. However, whilst there is clearly a monopoly or cartel (However you wish to describe it) on equipment such as Tyres and other equipment. How on earth do these people think they are going to attract new competitors into this sport. Deluded I'm afraid!
-
If a 'consortium' of different people are running it, does that qualify as a clusterf#ck?

Be sensible Iain we are talking about speedway here.
-
Last year we paid £24 and got a Ferrari, this year we'll pay £25 and get a TR7!

We all talk about PR disasters but if they don't make it then the PR disaster could be terminal for the sport or indeed the Premiership.
