Perhaps we all need to bring a young person with us or even a group!!!

Surely Matt will put together one of his spot on teams for this anniversary year for Poole?

Christ!!! Of course you have to be happy with who you travel with and vice versa.

Pick others up on the way maybe? Would you seriously be interested in car sharing, we seriously should try to set something up if people are interested?? I will find out about this ....

4 brand new ones now!!!

OMG you old farts, did you never hear of sharing lifts, there used to be 5 of us sharing a lift so we only drove every 5 weeks, perfect! Perhaps we could organise something through KLSSC? Now I travel on my own so I get there early, PAY to get in (included that for the flipping doubters!) and set up the KLSSC table and do my bit .... Of course the cost of diesel (answer, get a car that does 60 to the gallon haha, my fiesta does) does make one question travelling on a dodgy weather night, promoters are sometimes damned if they do and damned if they don't make early calls in these cases .....

We have had good teams for ages, it's luck that thwarts us or in the case of last year, sackings and illness (Dale). I personally think most teams keep loyal to the majority of their riders from year to year, at Lynn riders have to perform really bad for us to lose our rag with them (Bjerre).

Oh let it go, let's think about 2018 only ......

Hope so

I'd like to think they have relaxed their 3 league rule as Buster was confident they were going to but they're being more strict with other aspects so...... watch this space

Please keep us updated Philip!

Waiting for the Star to find that out from the PZM!! 😁

Vaculik signed for Leicester, Niels good news is signing for Torun..

We swopped from Saturdays, it just had to be...

On the GP site he said he was going to Melbourne in a good place in his life?

But if it was Roger's decision, maybe his thinking was it was the company that sponsored the club so he, as an individual, wanted to do his bit and pay?? Not sure .....

Pedersen is lucky ....

Not sure if it's true or not but I've heard that Roger always paid to get in??

Roger Warnes Transport deserves respect from us all.

I didn't read any sarcasm in your post either, just giving your view.... which bit is sarcastic GRW?

From my personal point of view I want our riders to race as a team, for our team, to have great team spirit, to enjoy racing for Lynn, to have a good rapport with the fans so we are together as a club. Yes of course we can have a Championship team doing just this or a NL team doing it. I can get enjoyment from all levels of speedway It's the lack of fans that keep the costs up soooo perhaps it doesn't matter which league you're in, the promoter has to get out there promoting the club, attracting new people and when they come through the turnstiles give them a treat, give them something to do at all times so they can't get bored/put off. Test Your Gating Reactions comp to run for the season so the fans keep coming back, fun photo booth, selfie comps on twitter, competition to win a free entrance ticket, put time and effort into the music, get the mic man giving interesting info about riders last meetings, club meetings, show footage on the big screen etc, special guests etc etc

What hype, he's gonna realise his dream like that of most riders, let's see what he can do, go Cookie!!!

Have the fans not been calling for a World Pairs comp one year and Team comp the next?

It's interesting how the discussion on different club threads evolve, here on the Poole thread it's all about who Matt is gonna sign to win you the league again, on the Lynn thread it's all about the future of the sport...

So is it best to lower the quality of riders to attract new fans at a cheaper price or keep the sport at the level it is, & the price it is, but improve the promotion, the advertising and the race day experience, some think one thing, some another.... hard one! Meg, you only quote part of my post, the changes I have quoted could well attract more fans. I'm not sure exactly what the answer is, it's about attracting new fans, to get younger people to things advertising is key, excitement is key, music, lights, fireworks and fire is perhaps the way to go, Brian Griffin wasn't far out 😊
