Crump99

Welcome to the wonderful world of the BSPA. Full of positivity after the AGM but then the season starts and reality sets in, somewhat earlier in 2014 it has to be said. We don't need any April Fools jokes this year, we've already had them!

I think you mean guidelines? Rules usually (not in speedway of course) are not open to interpretation depending on which day of the week it is and who's asking!

And it's only March!

Sorry about that. That's the EoES for you though isn't it unfortunately. We're just a customer who has to make do, 1998,99 etc and our own masters is long gone. Tuesday is just a factor though IMHO.

Darragh MacAnthony's never seen there is he?

Oh yes Keep the goon there for us!

Our drop from the 2014 other league (can't bring myself to call it Elite because it's hardly!) has obviously resulted in me having to leave the Swindon lot in peace. You never know though, our paths may cross in the future. The bonus of being here though is that brum isn't! It's really worth going Premier League just to lose him

Is this the five minute argument or the full half hour? Did they just spring it out of nowhere at ice hockey (do they do it at Peterborough, it'd explain a lot)? It wasn't played last week and hasn't been for years so why now? Haven't we had enough sprung on us in the last 7 months without that? Funnily enough that's the only downer for me on my Cardiff visits, having to listen to that!

It'll be on numerous times so might as well watch real live speedway and watch the programme some other time. Or record it and watch it on Wednesday would be my solution.

They are not fans. The nice option was Posh on the radio & the Manc derby on TV but for real fans there was a speedway meeting at the EoES to attend and be upstanding for!

Not at all! People just got excited on the back of the opening meeting. Anyone with a brain knew the reality of the situation. Were there any suspicious betting patterns last night? Lights out 3rd, 4th bend only, very fishy! Thank God it wasn't first bend as tapes had just risen and they were steaming into the first corner.

The National Anthem, what's that all about? And no I'm not talking about its origin, I'm talking about being asked to rise on a cold Tuesday evening amongst the sparse crowd for a minor PLC fixture. Did the Queen miss the opening night because they didn't do it last week or in the previous 20 seasons come to that!

They got 8 heats so I'd say £10 entry at any of the next Panthers 3 home meetings when producing a re-admission ticket would suffice? Apart from exceptional circumstances which need to be agreed with management.

But after the first night enthusiasm we were down to the bare bones tonight v Plymouth and the less said about the ending, which wasn't helpful, the better!

Well at least FP seems excited!

I noticed that

Not even found out because this would suggest that they knew who it was anyway: "Mod Note: And yet you still post from your home IP?" If so then one wonders why the guff has been allowed for so long?

Indeed, but the vital bit of information missing is that the mentalist is ....... Anyone could be posting from one location in reality?

I did see that but I must be being dimmer than usual. How is that outing, as it means bugger all to me?

Bugger, missed that - do tell

Decent chunk of 100k I'd imagine,

Some good points there but you somewhat lost credibilty when you mentioned Peter York. You obviously missed his last embarrassing appearance at the Showground. Unfortunately we seem to have lost Darren Fletcher who knocks spots off our current team or anyone you suggest. Saul doesn't do too much wrong but could get involved more and focus less on the irrelevant perhaps? Having said that, I wouldn't want to do it so what do I know! The air fence was a good example though. Neil said: "The airfence was very badly damaged - four panels destroyed." - did anyone hear that over the PA? If we'd have been told that (which I didn't hear?), and that we'll take a 20 minute break to fix it then customers would at least know where they stand, even if not happy about it, but that's what can happen.

Didn't notice that it was any longer than what he normally does. So unless I missed something then I'd expect the same, preferably with helmets off so that the dog can see the rabbit, or ostrich this year (although he wasn't guilty on Tuesday I seem to recall).

I'm glad you're not in charge of presentation.

It's all about opinions isn't it. Decent first night crowd is pretty standard an not the best indicator.
