Dissertation Questionnaire- The Results
Trees replied to speedy19902006's topic in Speedway News and Discussions
From what I can see of our young supporters (17 - 35 perhaps), they sure as hell don't add to the atmosphere, not cool to clap, to shout, to sound an airhorn, young people do my head in from that point of view .............. ok some young people. It's a shame they can't let their inhibitions go! Perhaps a couple of pints or a few shots oughta be compulsory for them before a meeting starts I dunno how the sport can attract young people for the right reasons, I guess the promotions have to just keep pushing it in the media, hope for big sponsors and promote some more. Bit of a chicken and egg situation really! And SCB, we're not all bloody old, 46 is the new 30 At least all us oldies are keeping the sport alive, but yeah I would go with the dangerous sport tag raced by fit, crazy guys on bikes with no brakes image rather than family sport, that's what it is after all -
Agreed Screamer, so looking forward to supporting this team, best of luck to them all in 2013!!!

Ditto from me too! I just wish Buster would get the tannoy working better on the first bend, couldn't hear the interviews or Edwin But that didn't detract too much from a good night of racing particularly from "our" boys, good to see the two local Stars in the making Robert and Lewis ................ as one Kings Lynn legend retires we are witnessing two more in the making eh!! I wish Tomas and Romana all the very best in their life to come, hopefully they'll visit from time to time, they won't be forgotten in these parts

Darcy Showing What A Pro He Is Again
Trees replied to speedibee's topic in Speedway News and Discussions
Erm perhaps it's because Darcy lives with Middlo whilst over here, personal relationship and all that, of course they were gonna ring him and of course he was gonna reply, be it the right reply or wrong reply!! -
Hurrah for Mr Buckley! Makes one wonder how long he'll keep that up for or is he THAT rich it's a drop in the ocean to him?

Darcy Showing What A Pro He Is Again
Trees replied to speedibee's topic in Speedway News and Discussions
Darcy has been given his punishment over in Aus for what he did. As for being a kid, everyone has a kid inside them, however old we are, even at 46 I'm not condoning Darcy's behaviour in any way but he has been dealt with over his misdemeanours here and in Aus and I really, really hope that he keeps out of any more trouble for the foreseeable future, I would hate to see him throw it all away. In the speedway world 2013 I'm just gonna enjoy his racing -

Obviously not a banned substance in speedway though, easy to spot a rider with it shoved up behind his top lip! -

Matt Ford To Be Commended
Trees replied to 21st century heathen's topic in Speedway News and Discussions
As far as drugs are concerned I will agree with Middlo that they seem the norm for many young people. It's sad to say but drugs are too easily available and too easily accepted by young people. Including fags and booze ....... b4 anyone says anything! Arise Saint Theresa -

Perhaps Michael Lee is someone who could talk to Darcy . . . -
No Gps On Sky Television Next Year?
Trees replied to The White Knight's topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup
BUT British Speedway is based on teams and this is what has kept it going over the years and I hope it carries on for many years yet. It's so important for the promoters to promote the team aspect and the riders to realise that for the fans their team is most important!!!!!!!! Promoters and riders probably don't have the same feeling for "their team" as the fans but the sooner they get it into their heads the better, what it means to support your local speedway team!! I think more could be done to encourage team riding, certainly taking away the bonus points for the riders doesn't help one bit, maybe the promoters could think of something themselves to encourage it, a bonus perhaps. Obviously team riding isn't easy and sometimes jeopardises riders' positions in races but it's what the fans want to see and if you look at the big picture, keeping the fans happy is a massive part of the sport. Makes you wonder what would happen if all the riders were on the same points money .................. with team riding and team winning bonuses up for grabs .......... -
Certainly thought should be put into what is played on the night but the music is very much secondary to the speedway, the speedway banter and interviews.
-
Nah, just enjoy his racing ...........
-
Cos they have to beat Ward!!

HMS Dauntless? Excuse me but ...................... !!!!!I CAN'T WAIT FOR THE SEASON TO START!!!!!

Haha, I like having a lil rant on there Very disappointed though
-
This isn't the riders decision but the FIM, it's ridiculous, speedway doesn't need anything that makes it even more expensive to race, the FIM are out of touch surely?
-
Yep that's definitely Stefan

Oh for christ sake leave Tai alone, he's racing as a brit because that is what he is first and foremost, british parents, grandparents and all that, of course he loves Aus, he was brought up there!!
