  1. Doesn't need contact the intention was there ..... no doubt Pawlicki had to bail out before he hit the fence .....
  2. No fixtures clashes in the Premiership this year! Yayyyy
  3. Depends for which country and which team your allegiances lay
  4. Apart from attending live speedway in the UK
  5. Or is it something to do with the relationship between Chris Louis and Tungate?
  6. I wouldn't bother with something like that myself although I used to go to local grasstrack meetings, but yeah it might be the future but at the moment I love supporting my team For those whose team have shut down I appreciate it's not the same anymore ....
  7. But they do, on local radio very regularly, local tv only this week, in local papers, on twitter, instagram and facebook. No they haven't got billboards or wrapped buses but they also haven't got the money that many sports have. We can all play our part on social media, sharing the posts to our followers, it's amazing how many people then see what we share.
  8. I was trying to point you in the right direction and telling you that news/promotion is out there in the newspapers. I don't know if your Wisbech newspaper has ever featured King's Lynn News, maybe not? Speedway promoters can send PRs to loads of newspapers and radio stations but ultimately the editors are the ones who decide whether they want the news on their pages, they are god!
  9. Check out the Lynn News website for news (www.lynnnews.co.uk/sport/speedway/) .....
  10. Oh my goodness, do you not read the EDP, the Lynn News or Your Local Paper (if u live in Lynn)?
  11. They can promote on social media all they like but as we all know, many people aren't interested. Just like football clubs, horse racing tracks, rugby, cricket etc etc etc are of no interest to me. But they have to keep trying.
  12. The same still applies, there are loads of lesser lights that have ridden for Lynn over the years who stayed for years.
  13. Years ago there was loads of money coming in to pay riders very handsomely, it was a piece of cake for promoters, the fans turned up without them doing anything much. Now speedway is so much harder to promote, to be able to afford to promote, modern day British promoters would love the crowds and consequent money that was around in the sport in the past. But imo they are making changes, the current situation is making them think differently. And if course there are certain promoters out there who are setting a standard, giving them all ideas and a kick up the bum lol Yes the sport has changed as travel has changed, even years ago riders went off to make more money where they could, now they have the chance to race for 4 different teams but still many riders stick to the same clubs everywhere, I'm sure we can all name some. They stay where they are happy, if at all possible and if the promoters want them to. Just look at the amount of riders who have ridden for Lynn for years, who have belonged.
  14. Yes!!!!! Maybe the clubs are worried the rivalry might spill over like it did at the latest footy match haha
  15. The fans at a World Final years ago were 100% supporting their fav riders, I can remember feeling so nervous for riders I cared a damn about. I don't remember once worrying about the quality of the racing only that my riders were winning lol. Now, of course, we rarely have that emotional tie because the top boys don't race here.... I guess then fans are seeing the meetings differently....
  16. I wouldn't bring Poole into the conversation lol Just beat the beggars on track, all of us need to do that and get our timing right too!
  17. Robin Brundle tried hard to add to the nights entertainment last year actually even if things didn't work out exactly as he would have liked. So did the Supporters Club. Clubs are not standing still!
  18. Not outside featuring dangerous motorbikes on a dirt track ridden by adrenaline fuelled athletes on a week night is it? That's not saying that speedway couldn't improve the presentation but just that it's not so easy .......
  19. Smart but Ipswich have almost got rid of their blue?
  20. 'That boi, our boi' haha, love watching him, if ex fans only come and watch him once this season, I'm sure they won't be disappointed
