  1. Not until SKY didn't pay anymore ......
  2. Oh come off it, how can you compare the BSPL with bloody Discovery/Eurosport who have paid money for the cream of the sport which every rider is gagging to be a part of, Poland, Czecho etc are prepared to pay thousands of pounds to get a round of etc etc, they can't go wrong!!!!!!
  3. Rossiter says they've had no contact, have they contacted them or tried at least? Why don't they make a big thing about it in the local media etc?
  4. Has COVID not made a difference this year?
  5. From my one visit to Scunny I agree with all these points, perhaps the acquisition of a winners podium would be great too. I came to the British Under 19 Final, the presentation of the winners was shameful! Also don't Scunny have a roving mic? It was embarrassing to watch Neil Vatcher having to catch the attention of the guy in the box to announce the winners!
  6. They don't take it seriously enough in a way ......
  7. Or would he let us down like last time?
  8. Ah man, it has been hard to bear, Peterborough was awful on Thursday and particularly because all the promotion, staff from Lynn are involved, it's so demoralising. BUT it's almost over, we surely won't have to endure the same next season, it won't stop me going, I'll always be a King's Lynn Speedway fan .....
  9. Had better riders not so long ago, were the crowds any better? I think probs not. When Lynn had their successful few years in the Premier League we had teams that gelled together, lived together, were friends together, the fans loved the teams, the feel good factor was immense, we were winning everywhere, things couldn't have been better. Promotions need to allow the fans the chance to feel close to their team, to care about the team, to be as one as a club. Belle Vue do half a job with their 3 riders after the meeting being interviewed in front of a few in the grandstand but could do more, get all the riders in there, open up the 3rd/4th bend so the peasants on the back straight can walk round and attend the conference if they want instead of having to walk all the way round to the front of the stadium. Open up the pits before the meetings etc. The Belle Vue stadium is like a them and us stadium, hate that fact. On a side note, absolutely pisses me off that after the British Final each year the sponsors board is put up so only the fans in the grandstand can see the riders being presented with the trophies, I was incensed this year, put it on the first bend so we can all see!!!!!!!!!!
  10. Yes please do, second division Poole, happy with that.
  11. On the other hand, the Stars may go well today I think they'll go better round Sheffield than they did Peterborough ....
  12. I've always thought he'd finished with the sport but I don't read the Swedish speedway press so may be totally wrong ....
  13. Can you compare Newcastle with Glasgow, the Glasgow promoters are extremely successful business men aren't they?
  14. Swindon fans could do with an official update, maybe a little positivity!?
  15. Not a fan of Bjerre, can't forget what he did last time he rode for us, the first rider I ever wanted sacked and all because he didn't want to own up to having a wrist injury! Christ knows what his thinking was on that score ....
  16. Did you add to the atmosphere with whooping and fist pumps? I think the alcohol is a pretty big part in the making of the atmosphere in Poland. The few times I have been we've all had drink before the meeting, it's what they do on Sunday dinnertime! Not quite the same when you're getting home from work on a Thursday afternoon, rushing down your tea and then driving for an hour to support your team BUT we can still give the meeting our 100% interest, cheer on our team before, during and after the meeting instead of chatting amongst ourselves!
  17. We ended up with a different team to that we started with of course ....
  18. Yeah that's my thoughts re slow and steady, he looks good on the bike but .....
