Interesting words from Rob on Radio Norfolk this morning, saying British Speedway needs to do more to entice top boys back. If teams can't finalise because the top boys don't want a full season here and\or want one\two days a week, why don't they just rule that top boys can at least job share this year, no promotion wants an underpar team, as opposition or their own?? A ridiculous situation!!
I think it's great that Rory wants to be involved, his meeting was nothing but a success with the fans, that's what the SRBF meeting needs to be again ......
I love league racing but I wonder if these sort of meetings would make money for promoters by attracting good crowds, depends what sort of monies the competitors would want ....... I'd love to see some sidecar racing, just the noise of the bikes makes me smile. I've never bothered with the other two but would part with money to see them .....
I'm guessing league racing ain't the answer to attract crowds.
Events involving solo speedway, sidecars, short track, drifting would attract crowds on Friday\Saturday\Sunday
So play some great tunes, have some banter over the tannoy during breaks, get the kids chanting, give the kids name checks, read out tweets, give answers to comp in the prog (14 questions, one after each race) etc etc .... make some effort
Why people bemoan the track prep between races annoys me so much, tell the kids and moaners that it's for rider safety and racing quality, should be good enough .....
Yes, GRW, he has improved the stadium without a doubt but the club doesn't have a great feel about it at the moment, hopefully things will change in 2016 ..... just little but really important stuff for the fans.
