I do think the mic men could encourage the fans to make more noise, they need to be totally bias and show their emotion and perhaps the fans will follow ☺ Promoters need to really work hard to find someone who has a connection or can make a connection with the fans and riders come to that. They need to be speedway fans, passionate, funny and clever.

I haven't seen a big splash in any tabloid or on the BBC before Cardiff, for instance.They run a basic meeting, parade, music, heat announcement and results, interview with the winner. The difference is they have larger audiences who go to the meetings full of expectation and excitement, they have great riders racing who are giving it their all on their very best equipment ..... because this is the speedway world championship. I don't see anything different unless those blow up helmets count lol

And they sell sponsorship for the event? ☺ Or does BSI take that and of course their tv rights money? You are both so helpful ☺

Sell it to the BSPA man 😉

Re atmosphere at the meeting, did those who are complaining make plenty of noise? There are too many people who just stand, watch and enjoy without outwardly showing emotion, MEN! It's all your fault as always ha

So the PZM are paying for the hire of the stadium? They pay Olsen to prepare the track, do they take the takings from the fans entry?

What are you saying then?

Lewis will come good, he seems to have got himself sorted at PL level so only a matter of time. I wonder what damage Ash did to his machine after the meeting, expensive or not?

Agreed re the programme, if Buster doesn't want to have any input into the programme, don't bother at all having a column. It's a pity that whoever produces the programme doesn't proof read it better too. I'm personally sorry Buster doesn't have more input on race nights, we like to hear and read about his passion. Did Matt mention the Rider of the Night from the meeting before as voted for by the fans on the Internet, can't more be made of the accolade?

Hope so!

Bloody hell now you're going back, you were young, carefree, enthusiastic and speedway was new in Lynn in them days, of course your memories are all rose tinted :-D

Re the track grading, I'm sure Buster did as much grading then as he does now and surely it's all part and parcel of speedway!

You both must be at that awkward age, Semion and SL ;-) What you are saying SL is that you want Buster and Rob to put an average team together who struggle to win meetings? I think back to our great PL days when there was great team spirit and all the fans loved to see these boys doing the biz home and away. We had bitter sweet times with the loss of Ash Jones, it meant so much in 2006 to win what they could in his name. Why can we not have that same passion about our team that we did in the PL days and 1999, 2000, 2001 .... I guess it's just a few people on here aren't really bothered anymore, there are plenty who are :-D

Well of course not re the Canaries, that is why I wish the Adrian Flux Arena was in Norwich, there is definitely more passion shown if the Canaries are anything to go by. It could be just a football thing of course!Reason I asked about how they rev the fans up was because I'm sure I heard the commentator on the radio getting some response from crowd?

Sure the opposition will provide a stiff test for our boys tomorrow, that has gotta mean a good meeting hasn't it? What do they do at Norwich City to get the fans revved up for the action?

Hope you miss a great meeting haha 😈

Apart from take the speedway to one or two non speedway stadiums what do BSI do different to any promoter?

Yes but many don't bring them to evening meetings! Not many riders race for their local club either so friends probably don't attend. How many cars race in a banger or stock car meeting?

Oh Phil Rising, I wonder what your opinion would be on everything BSI if you weren't involved with them .....

You wouldn't miss this one would ya Gord! lol Ought to be a cracker!

Just not tonight eh! Oh I know it can be great so all the riders can have a good go, usually love speedway at the Showground!

It's full of the drivers' families, friends and neighbours innit 😊

If that track was a Panthers ploy to win meetings (I should hope not!) don't expect too many neutrals to attend! On the other hand, come back to the EL, miss our local derbies 😊

This is gonna be a tough one, can't wait 😃
