  1. will be amazed if this goes ahead tomorrow.according to b.b.c weather for Sheffield area, rain from 3.00pm right through till 10.00pm and some between 4 and 5 is going to be particularly heavy
  2. lets face it, there is never going to be vast amounts of money in speedway, never has, never really will but these guys who put life and limb on the line for our entertainment deserve to be paid well.in comparison to the prima donnas of the football world and yes o.k i do accept that they also are prone to injuries but they are also paid a very decent living even down in the lower tiers of the leagues.speedway does rely heavily on sponsorship and perhaps this is an area that should be targeted more.the riders do deserve more and should not have to rely on other sources of income, especially if the sport is to be taken more seriously.bspa and scb should now start to do something about the mess the sport is in so that, at the least, it is made understandable to the people that may watch on bt sport and to supporters who go to watch their teams.
  3. to all promotion,suppoters and everyone else to do with workington speedway.best of luck for the remainder of the season and i just hope and pray that another track is not lost to the sport.always enjoy my visits there.
  4. but it is £20 on a normal race night so is still a tenner saving.14 if you buy in advance.stop moaning.racing is decent at armadale.
  5. strange.there was a fair bit of follow the leader in your double header on b.h.m.which isn't usually the norm.there has also been some terrific racing at owlerton this season too.
  6. "these days usually around a fiver" do you never remember what you have posted.
  7. for a really good scores announcer you need to take a trip to either buxton or scunthorpe.he,s quality!!!
  8. what sense and no its not lost on me hence the reason for the replies.by the way you haven't answered the u.k average wage question.a pint more than a fiver? you obviously live down south somewhere. fiver will get you at least a pint and a half up north in some establishments.
  9. suggest you work a bit more overtime then we wouldn't have to endure the brainless tripe that you keep dishing up.
  10. i will say this only once more.cardiff is aONE A YEAR event thats every 52 weeks or 365 days if you prefer.that is 0.96 pence per week.thats why the crowds are so big! FACT get over it
  11. why do you keep talking rubbishe all the time.those 20 quids are a lot to a lot of people.20 quid would only be loose change if people were minted.suggest you take up watching football.that will get rid of any "loose change" you claim to have. only loose i can think you might be is associated with something you might tighten with a screwdriver.FACT.get over it!! by the way rubbish isn't a spelling error.i did originally put s---e but it didn't get printed
  12. then explain this one to me.why is the ice hockey only 16 quid for an adult to watch then and attracts a heck of a lot more than the speedway does.if 2 adults and 2 kids go to speedway thats roughly 40 quid ish PER WEEK.which is a fair chunk out of anyones budget so yes lets charge 20 quid per adult and a tenner per kid and make it 60 quid instead.get real.cort of living has risen tremendously but a lot of folks wages haven't.i used to go out for a few but draw the line at pub prices and now buy from the supermarket if i want a beer and i certainly couldn't afford the beer and speedway.cardiff is also a one off event, not a whole season.plus define average wage to me.
  13. totally shambolic and has tainted what has been a great season so far for my team.
  14. 20 quid might be a pittance to you(are you loaded or well paid job?),but for a lot of people, especially families, then 20 quid or more would probably finish the sport for good, and don't forget its the youngsters who need to be targeted as they are the future. one thing that would help to entice more families would be a good club mascot.i went to the ice hockey at sheffield last week and their mascot steeler dan really does get involved with the kids, dancing etc with them and its a great atmosphere and while i,m not a massive fan of all the razzmatazz the kids and mums and dads really enjoy it and get into the spirit of things.maybe if the mascot mingles with the crowd and dishes out a few sweets etc then it may help the attendances a little.we haven't even got one at owlerton.o.k we've tried face painting etc but something needs to be done to make this sport more attractive to newbies.
  15. does anyone know the severity of lasse,s recurring knee problem.looking at his twitter photo it looks pretty swollen again.hope he is fit for friday and the weekend.
  16. fantastic result from a makeshift team.a big thank you to lewis kerr for inflicting some damage.a massive well done to jan for playing his part with a mighty 8 points.another imperious display from our captain fantastic,scrabs,well ,what can you say, he is awesome and last but not least our manager simon stead who has been like a breath of fresh air since the start of the season and has the confidence of all the team behind him.special mention to tigers on tour.hope you enjoyed your evening and don't get too drunk!
  17. really.yes,we were pretty dominant towards the latter end of the meeting but it,s not aaron summers you should be pointing the finger at.mr worral and mr lawson were pretty average last night and summers was at least competitive hence his heat 15 appearance.he is an out and out tryer and would have him in sheffield colours any day.
  18. my word.has speedway really sunk this low.until this stupid doubling up rule ceases and we go to just two leagues and the riders get paid what they thoroughly deserve then the sport has no credibility whatsoever.stupid rules, rules made up as we go along, bad referees, riders fannying about at the start, all adds to the frustration of everyone concerned.at sheffield last night,lasse was doing that much gardening at the start that ,at one point i was thinking of nipping off to b&q and fetching him a fork and rake, it really was ridiculous.out of all my years watching the sport i feel that cheesed off at the moment that i think that this may well be my last season and i say that with a heavy heart because speedway has been a massive part of my life.jesus,i shouldn't have to be saying this with the season sheffield are having so far but i feel so much frustration for fans and promoters up and down the country and yes that does include mr chapman.i think it is wrong when, in a lot of cases, week in week out supporters have to put up with watching guests and the r/r rule.until this sport is grabbed by the b------s and sorted out then there will only be one outcome.
  19. so am i right in assuming that there is no promotion and relegation at all.so really the play offs are a complete waste of time if that is the case.where is this mentioned that this won't be happening then.
  20. come on monarchs fans, stop berating your guests.i like to see ty ride and he may do well for you.true supporters get behind their teams.think this may well be close but going for a sheffield win.come on you tigers
  21. why all this ty proctor negativity.when a rider is good enough to accept a booking then why slate him.o.k he might not get double figures but no doubt will try his best.maybe he might just prove you wrong, maybe not.
