  1. As with any species exhibiting this decline in numbers, there is only likely to be one result. Extinction. I hope the "last supporter standing" gives the UK sport a final salute. And a "Two, Four, Six Eight - who did we appreciate" send-off.
  2. Oh So would I Mr Webb. You hit the nail on the head regarding the way I feel. Why go to watch a dire match at the AFA when there is an equally dire match live on TV at another equally, poorly prepared track? No. Zero chance of that.
  3. And the racing at the AFA is equally poor. 12 from 15 heats are tapes to flag processions. Buster is even incapable of setting up a good racing track when the TV reaches any of his tracks. Is that deliberate or lack of ability? His "saving" of the TV contract has this season become an even more pathetic advert for UK speedway, with very few elderly supporters watching the four bikes play follow the leader almost inevitably. So why has it ended up like that? A statement seems long overdue Chairman Chapman. What does he think he is "selling". Excitement, speedy thrills, close racing? He is serving up none of those. even a move to One Big league ( which I would like to see ) will not improve the racing one whit unless the issue of the bikes and the tracks is addressed. UK speedway is dead in the water under Chapman & Godfrey.
  4. That will no doubt be a help - if policed adequately.
  5. Dire Times are clearly the result of Dire Leadership. Go Now! ( as the song goes ) Chapman & Godfrey. Nothing but an imaginative restructuring can save UK speedway from it's looming demise and C&G are incapable of that. " My way is the best and only way". Hmmm.
  6. I was given my first stick of Blackpool rock this century, yesterday - Marmite flavour! I kid you not!
  7. Hallelujah! And before you all say "but Simon scored paid 9 last week, he's turning things around" let's think about his average. Thankfully (?) he has a CL place.
  8. As we know it is all "pending", completed but waiting to be assembled on-site when the final permissions are granted. Unless of course, they do sell the stadium space and the houses don't just creep nearer and near, but take over totally. All we can hope for if it finally happens is that some of the new roads / closes will get speedway appropriate names.
  9. Buster has a money tree ( gullible sponsors ) so really has no need to exhort fans to "support or else", when he does so it's just because for anyone, even him, it's hard to break old habits.
  10. I NEVER wear trainers nor have done, nor will do ( horrid sweaty things - or is that my feet? ). I did wear black plimsolls at school in the early 1960s.
  11. I certainly have but the taste is excellent, only if you allow the cheese on toast to cool prior to applying a layer of peanut butter. Peanut butter and marmite was a real turn off for me I am afraid.
  12. Some racing would be a start! But, Yes! we need to see attractive, close racing with passing or the likely possibility of it. If you get two 'races' in a match now you are lucky. Two or three minutes of excitement is as far from VFM as you can get. At the moment it should be £2.50 to get in and 50p for a racecard. It would then approach VFM.
  13. This is an essential but very unlikely to come about with the current BSPA "leaders" in place. Stand down NOW Chapman and Godfrey ( even though it is too late to save the sport in the UK ).
  14. Attract a few birds of prey and watch the feathers fly!
  15. Stox a coming but this can only be done by erasing those troublesome and seemingly unnecessary speedway fixtures.
  16. Definitely the 4th Grade Grammar rule " Which rules have I broken?". That's three rules really.
  17. Spot on, why UK speedway in the PL was "saved" to show up this kind of muck I cannot imagine.
  18. With the quality of racing now served up following Buster's track reconstruction at the EOES, the crowd may double - to say 600 in September .
  19. I still have my KL Stars ( ex Norwich ) rattle that still works - Up For Sle - any offers. Proceeds to Sam Norris fund.
  20. Well, that puts the kibosh on the idea then. Since our glorious leader's live streaming intro statement didn't go quite as planned, the whole idea has been off limits.
  21. If Buster was going to do everything in his power to make it a success and requires better support for the sport at the Showground, all he had to do was make it £10 for everyone and under 16s free.
  22. £10 pound it is then. I am up for that but quite frankly not more than that ( personally speaking ). How successful has it been in ice hockey, do you know?
