I am an exiled fan with no club to support and haven’t been to a live meeting since Lakeside closed in 2018 but I have used BSN in the past and indeed this season, any funds the clubs get from the likes of me is bonus because I am never going to go to a meeting in person unless the Hammers come back at some point.
Some promoters haven’t got a clue how to run meetings, they think people have unlimited attention spans and can watch meetings that takes hours to run.
Its like they said on 360 speedway this week, its needs to be bang bang bang, slick operation and always something to keep the public interested between races.
They are doing the same things and playing the same music they were 30 years ago.
Excellent meeting and once again this track serves it up (note to BSN, don’t bother with tracks like Kings Lynn, come here four times instead)
Brady will be Bartosz’s main challenger and I think he could do it with more performances like tonight, just one thing though and this is aimed at Aces fans, would Brady still race in the UK, if he was World Champion?
You can’t blame fans from other clubs staying away, Belle Vue is the best track bar none and it seems it can handle a bit of rain, but other tracks have educated fans that even the slightest hint of rain and it will be a no go, it’s hard to overcome that.
Serious question, in an age when meetings are called off at a whim, Why hasn’t this been called off when there is rain forecasted all day and night in Manchester.
Would have loved to have been in my 20s in the 70s and known about speedway, all those tracks I could potentially visit, I would have loved to have been able to go to White City, Custom House, Rayleigh and Romford to name four off the top of my head.
Lots of of teams, lots of riders, high in quality too, what’s not to love?
I have no time for people who only want to play at being speedway riders, I am not trying to say that mental health isn’t important, of course it is but if you are having issues you shouldn’t be racing in a team sport where your lack of wanting to ride doesn’t affect anyone else.
Same goes to riders who only try when they make the start and always pull off the track after two laps when at the back.
I watched it on catch up and after heat one I was tempted to turn it off right there but Oxford did make an effort to try and put it right and it did improve.
Think the issue for them is if those small tanks on the back of a van is all they have then no wonder they had trouble getting water into the track during the day.
Did not see the match let alone the incidents but yes its 100% the bikes.
Thing is also when you see how much these things are costing to run, it makes you wonder how any rider can afford to ride in this country unless the promoters are paying out far more than they get in revenue which is not sustainable.
Dan Thompson on his channel covered costs and it mind blowing to me.
