How Do Foreign Riders Afford To Race?
Topcat replied to Soul Crew's topic in Speedway News and Discussions
Northside appears to be making a concerted effort to encourage and bring on talent even if it is at an early stage. Scunthorpe have for years made track time available. Yes there isn't enough and the costs just get greater. Second halfs should be encouraged,but too many promotions don't seem to give encouragement. -
Rain Offs - Unlucky Year '13!
Topcat replied to Parsloes 1928 nearly's topic in Speedway News and Discussions
The ever changing weather is a major problem for speedway racing. There is no doubt that it gets worse each season. Not a lot we can do,but as another poster acknowledged we are all weather watching more than ever. -
Have look on Ebay. The Official ones are for sale as per the speedway rule book. www.eagle-es.nl

Just signed up, but it is 2.99 for 12 months. There is plenty two wheel coverage to make it worthwhile plus repeats. Per month !

How To Make Speedway More Appealing To Younger Fans?
Topcat replied to speedwayadict's topic in Speedway News and Discussions
I agree with George's overview,and hope that Glasgows new promotion do get more new fans through the gate. The weather has not been kind to the sport in recent years,but our 3.00pm start may just help pull in more interested fans. We also know from the promotions point of view that more attendees are required full stop. Our new improved facilities should also help money wise. Roll on sunday 31/03/13 3.00pm and the start on track of the new Red Revolution. -
Didn't know that Marc Owen was still on the injured list. Take care Marc and wait till you are fully fit again,speedway is a tough game. Cheers Jimmy

Use a couple of bits of wood and gently tap/lever the basket off by sliding them down the back. Give the basket a good dose of WD 40 first,bike on it's side spraying on the inside round all the centre slots of the shaft.

Interviews in the crowd,but must have a "big screen" to show it on. Could Samsung or any alternative producer not be enticed to advertise their products etc by supplying the "big screen". PS I know before anyone posts that we already have the best Screen at Ashfield!

Was there not a referees box up high at the proposed side even before the Hut was built at the present side.
-
From outside the "stadium" there is very little noise. The fans in the "covered enclosure" will be be the beneficiaries.

Where And When To Ride? The Next Available Track Action

They usually do,weather permitting. No doubt it will be posted on here. -
The Tigers just got stronger.

It's tough enough without all the hassle. Lets hope this season doesn't suffer from so many rainoffs&injuries. It's sad that Speedway can't get more fans through the gate,as it is a spectacle to watch and you can interact with the riders and be so very close to the action. The new promotion want it to be a success and lets hope it is.

We will try our best to get at least 8 points per meeting from James. Bring on the Red Revolution.

It's nickname is The Blast. Ask any Belter Fae Turnent!

Barry Simpsons Simpson SRM Evo as used by many top riders is as good if not better for a far better price.

Glad to hear Adrian is making progress,nice guy.

Time for a return to the provincial league with sensible rules and good racing?

Going by Mason's posts Heather he is heading south. Probably put out the feelers towards the end of the season. He was there a year ago with Rohan,and he said in the "second half pits" that he was fixed up in the south. Maybe Mason will follow. Watch this space.
