  1. Crazy, they should only take the heats against second strings into consideration at least ..... if not they're not compared to the rest of the team. And no way should they've had their high starting averages .....
  2. I thought that paid points had been done away with? If not yeah riders should always look to team ride, the fans love it They ought to practice it tbh
  3. Mates of mine (live in town and been fans for donkeys years) run the track shop at Worky for the love of it, not for the supporters club, last time I went up there it was all housed in a lorry container. Because their meetings are on Saturdays they always get loads in their bar, including riders and put on a big raffle in there (guess this is supporters club run and the takings go to a different rider each week I believe), weekends make all the difference. All clubs do something different, as a fan it would be great to be able to at least have an organised bus\minibus to away meetings, not so difficult to organise now with text\twitter etc if the meeting is in doubt.
  4. I encourage everyone who goes to Lynn to watch one race from the starting straight close to the start of the first bend, you will then appreciate the speed the guys are racing at, just do it
  5. cos it gets too far out and makes racing more dangerous I would've thought. U don't want one line racing either.
  6. Still never had a go, every track ought to have one, fans comp over the season lol
  7. Don't think I said it would, I just think it's really important to the whole package ....
  8. No, not alone, but they would help to involve the crowd imo ....
  9. The man-on-the-mike is now a very, very important person to the meeting, he must be totally tuned into the meeting and the fans, he must be intuitive, bias, interesting and enthusiastic ..... have all of our clubs got these people?
  10. Of course it means a lot to the riders, it's the pinnacle of their careers, adds to my disgust that IMG own the rights to our sport 😕
  11. I don't want to see riders making mistakes I want to see them being able to take different lines to race one another, if that means putting more material on the tracks then why don't the promoters do it? Cost, moaning bloody fans cos a deep track takes more grading? I haven't seen a rider do a proper cut back at Lynn for ages, I dunno if that's the bikes, riders or the track?
  12. We want them to be making mistakes don't we ...... NOT!
  13. You're all older, that's always a problem, older and less enthusiastic hahaha
  14. Totally agree with that, certainly worth a try .....
  15. You need that passion for your team too, then you feel the effort that is being put in, also stand on the straight as close to the racing as possible, takes my breath away every time, the speed, the vulnerability, wooooooo
  16. Re the TV meeting, my worry is that Swindon are working their averages so the meeting wasn't a 'proper' competition? With the advent of the playoffs we've seen this loads. I haven't seen the meeting at all I hasten to add!
  17. So you're saying you dug that hole out special in 2015 when Lynn were there, interesting!
  18. Speedway riders ought to see every win as something special, we all know why ......
  19. Sh#t sticks ..... sorry for repeating myself 😆
  20. They wanna be charging more then!
  21. You must have had a great committee to help arrange all those "do"s ........ fantastic and well done
  22. Does it have to be all about fundraising though? Why not for the feelgood, getting kids involved, showing fans how important they are to the club kinda way?
  23. Can I go with who I'd like to win GP - NKI SWC - GB EL - Kings Lynn PL - Peterborough or Newcastle or Workington lol
