  1. If people wont go and i dont blame them because the product is sh*t, then more tracks will close, but all we hear is "crap speedway is better than no speedway at all" it isnt though is it? its just prolonging the agony.
  2. This is British League top division match and including this reply, only five have commented on it, shocking! Add to that I read in this weeks star that Sheffield sent out 10000 free tickets to kids and only 300 turned up, I think Sheffield is finished.
  3. Thank gawd for Tobias otherwise it would have been even more boring, im getting totally cheesed off with just about every track thinking that you don't need to water a track once heat one has finished. Once again another meeting where those who bother to attend go home covered in dust, im just glad this is a streaming service and not on cable tv because it would not generate more support, exactly the opposite. All too often racing is processional with dust flying everywhere, that will have new fans coming in there droves NOT
  4. Gaters paradise, Morris look like he skated over that final bend, nothing to hold him up.
  5. They are using R/R but wanted a guest, I don’t think you should be allowed a guests for second strings or reserves.
  6. Even watching on catch up I was close to giving up after the first lot of races, but I forwarded a few heats and the racing got better at times, but like most tracks, dry and dusty, very little extra grip if you went out to the fence. Not expecting any different from tonight's BSN offering at Leicester, its all too predictable.
  7. Justin ended up becoming infamous for his engine failures and I don’t mean giving up and pulling onto the centre green like so many riders do now, these were genuine and led of course to people wondering what wasn’t he doing to take care of his equipment such was it so unreliable.
  8. There is a long list of riders who people thought might break through but ultimately never did, in recent times you have had riders like Zack W who still does grass and long track, Ashton B who has also gone to other two wheeled disciplines. Its easy to look back through rose tinted glasses, but I miss the days when you had a junior meeting after the main 4 vs 4 over 6 heats.
  9. Being paired with Tilbury was never easy for any rider, I seem to recall he was steady enough but just not that fast.
  10. Never any issues with Richard when he was with us at Lakeside and I think it helped that he seemed to have a very good working relationship with Cookie, extremely well liked by the fans and won the last ever race at the arena.
  11. Not just Ipswich I would say, the sport is in a mess and the loss of any one team would have a serious effect on the others being able to run a proper model. Your promoter talks a lot of sense, but so did Stuart Douglas when he brought Arena Essex and none of the other promoters would listen to him either because he was new and they don't the idea of change, even when things are in the gutter.
  12. Dust from the get go and they wont put any water on it, newbies wont come more than once if they go home covered in dust and as for the music, clearly the tie up with Poland has taught them nothing about presentation. Roll on September, might actually get some good meetings once tracks are not dry as a bone.
  13. Dicko is stuck in traffic after a crash this afternoon somewhere, with Phil Morris there im sure plenty of water will go down, I hope so anyway.
  14. He probably has a saying like "if i can see dust, then i wont make a fuss"
  15. Like at Plymouth where you get close racing but not a lot of passing because the track is too narrow both on the straights and the bends, around there riders almost automatically become Phillip Sitera, remember him? the rider they used to nickname the Rolling Roadblock.
