Well, that's seven of us that won't be going now.
You've got to ask who was in charge of organising the dinner & dance and why it wasn't arranged for the first Saturday in November (1st)
I'm sure the Black & Gold are thrilled that they will be losing a four figure sum in revenue.
I'm used to it
Really, is there any point in this now?
It's freezing cold, damp and miserable. Bearable in March, as it's a new season and most people are full of optimism, but in late October after a season that promised much and delivered little?
You obviously haven't read the post properly. I did say that if I was introducing new people to speedway who'd only watched the worlds best on TV they'd be disappointed by what's on offer. Of course, likes of your good self and other hardened speedway nuts would probably enjoy watching speedway at any level.
Personally, if my team was in the third tier I'd likely feel the same way as you.
I've been told Silver wants more meetings at Rye House next year, so I should imagine that means PL & NL.
Not just enough riders, enough riders good enough to do 4 laps without falling off
Bandits4eva filled out the programme June. She tells me she NEVER makes mistakes. I tweeted Lemo & Wilko the other way round. I'm ALWAYS making mistakes!
If I was introducing anyone to speedway the last place I'd take em is to a NL meeting. The skill level is close to zero and often a rider will fall when passed, with no contact. If you've watched the worlds best in the GP's on TV, going to a third tier meeting would be a bit of a culture shock I should think
If the tracks anything like last Mondays for the Sky meeting it'll be tricky, but not dangerous. Most riders at this level do not possess sufficient skill to race on it.
