The Direction That Speedway Needs To Take In The U.k.
The Know replied to Bee's topic in 'The Way Ahead'
your points are spot on. also look around, how many teenagers do you see at domestic and sgp. hardly any, the future life blood of speedway is not there. -
would that be the special clutch set up he had just pointed it down a bit. get rid of pearson and tatum i say

Swedish Grand Prix
The Know replied to ladyluck's topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup
just back from the gp. what can i say. complete and utter rubbish and what a way to end no one knows what the weather will do but that was no gp and there was no winner on or off track. should never have started as it was raining hard in the pits well before 5pm -

hope not taking me shorts tommorrow. -
ok so if your right how would walasek of done last year ? i will tell you, rubbish because he is not a good rider at this level. chris showed he deserved the spot by improving greatly. if he is not in the top 8 this year, yep chuck him out. anyway what you or i think wont change it and we both differ on our veiws. anyone want any polish gp fork covers before i burn umm
-
no i dont ! i said from any country, yes harris should not maybe of got back in but he was the best brit at the time. i dont care who is in and where they come from as long as they are good but if up to u it would be all poles. the walaseks, pepes ulimek and so on even with the vast polish sponsorship and all that goes with it are not good enough. you can go on about english riders being not good enough and i will agree we are pretty crap at the moment. you keep beating the polish drums but the tide will change
-
he did ok last year though were sponsoring him as he is english and a decent chap and wont run off with 15 grand as the last pole we sponsored did. whats that they say about dont trust a pole you seem to miss the point, polish,british it does not matter, you shouldnt be in it if ya not good enough. dont have any mates at bsi cause if i did i would ave all the poles chucked out and your so polish biased it dogs me off.

more than one way to skin a cat

pepe, walasek, you should only be in it or want to be in it if you believe you can win it. both of these riders have no chance of ever winning it. all they do is make themsevles look foolish. i have as much chance of winning it as them i want to see the best, not riders past there sell by date. not just polish but any country.
-
but there not good enough for the gp. pepe been there before and was to slow and now he is to old. you dont get quicker with age. i think apart from a dozen or so polish riders the rest are no better than any other country.
-
not much point in most of these turning up as there to old or to slow

The Direction That Speedway Needs To Take In The U.k.
The Know replied to Bee's topic in 'The Way Ahead'
i agree with you. the bspa is made up of promoters and nither are interested in investing in the future. its all about money. they will say we cant afford it, we dont own the tracks every excuse under the sun. why is a portion of the sky money not put aside or mr tans fee. there are loads of ways to sort it but as i said there not interested. and before anyone says they dont make money to do this show me a poor man in a cash industry -

The Direction That Speedway Needs To Take In The U.k.
The Know replied to Bee's topic in 'The Way Ahead'
since 2001 i have spent hundreds of thousands of pounds on english riders and clubs doing all sorts of things and not just in speedway but motocross and other sports. speedway is not really any good as a commerial tool, you do it as you like it but the thanks you get is none really and the english are the worst either rider or promoter. take ya money and then take the piss. we have come back to sgp this year and we have changed from hans to chris harris as he is english and a nice chap to sponsor. i dont know the answer or even if there is one to the problem speedway has here. i have tried to do my bit for english speedway maybe others should try. -

The Know replied to Bee's topic in 'The Way Ahead'
young people are not interested in speedway. times have changed and there interested in other things. i would love my children to want a go at speedway, motocross karting and would back them all the way but they prefer other sports. lets face it speedway is not that popular anymore and hasnt for a while. -
A Return To Stockholm?
The Know replied to ladyluck's topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup
yep sunny states, land of murder dont know why bsi never tried the states. yanks would watch snails if they had a motor straped to them, even more if it was a big block chevy supercross has a min crowd of 40000 and up to 70000 for every round and there weekly. -
A Return To Stockholm?
The Know replied to ladyluck's topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup
we were the sponsor that day in stockholm, did get £1.50 compensation and a nice drive to avesta though funny was the sponsor of the gerkin one as well, maybe its me a bit of a jink i really like gothenburg as a place. lots to do and places to visit. 12 of us going again might make the stadium look a bit fuller -
