A few interesting points highlighted in the Star this week in the Fans Forum item Social media strategy......"We all find it very restrictive and strange that we have to ask to put our own stuff on our own websites, but there is a very positive mood for that to be ironed out and go forward with it" Keith Chapman. Abandoned meetings/Heat 10 rule "On re admissions, i dont think its something weve had to deal with at Scunthorpe. Sometimes mother nature intervenes and its beyond our control and your battling to get to heat 10. But it has been abused once or twice , and i can assure you that has been noted." Rob Godfrey "I can only speak for myself at Kings Lynn, and when we have a wet meeting our crowds dont drop at all, because ive always had the policy that i give refunds at the gate". Keith Chapman.

So which riders will be going....?

Great just stream from the camera.

He is not in the Monster "in crowd".

In a BSPA meeting?

So if the camera was handlebar mounted it would be ok......no, its about the Gospeed rights.

No getting away from the fact that Gospeed have a stranglehold on Speedway rights (for right or wrong you choose.... ) Strange how many top riders continue to use Go pro cameras ....may be they need educated on the dangers!!

Ironic headline last week "i,m no Monster"......

A well known chain hotel wanting an obscene amount for the Saturday night!!

I really enjoyed the Swedish matches on Eurosport and barring one or two were much better than the EL on Sky.

I have used Travelplus and would use them again a little on the expensive side but they take care of things like tickets transfers etc. Have travelled all over the world and have used travel agents the internet and independent agents each have their own customers, must be a good few years since i have been in a high street travel agents though!

Usually find it good value, just one or two in the last few months have been a bit light on content.

Treat the fans who go now with respect then try and attract new ones........

I cant see any evidence of this?

Agree the Star is good value and i too kept reading the magazine even when Workington closed for about 15 years.

Phoned the subs dept today and they are sending a copy out.......todays post arrives at 11:00am with this weeks and last weeks copies.

Still no Star today

I know its the Christmas Holidays but still have not received my Star from last week, anyone else still waiting?

I recently went to a Ice Hockey match in Dumfries and enjoyed it but i thought it dragged on a bit too long (over 2 hours)...mainly because there was a bit of a punch up (blood had to be cleaned from the ice!) which would have put the Nicki/Masters tiff in the school boy bracket!! Oh the crowd at the Ice Hockey was very small . If any new ideas are brought in in the future all clubs must buy in to them and that might prove to be a sticking point. So the BSPA must insisit that clubs do activley promote, improve or change the way the club is run which may prove to be the un doing of some tracks

Looking at some of the threads on here it looks as if the BSF is in a worse state than than British Speedway!!

What average would Mason come in at?

Campton/Kus, not sure averages would allow.... Kus/Stichauer?

IN the Speedway Star "election special" the out going chairman said there was not much wrong with the state of British Speedway yet the new chairman said many changes need implementing. I feel i must apologise to the out going chairman for my negativity..........

Rusty Harrison has retired as far as i,m aware.

Sounds like a step in the right direction, as he said in the Star major changes will not happen over night but the man is probably the only one with right attitude to make the changes required.....hopefully. As was said, getting rid of the TR would be a start, not ground breaking but a good change for the better! Rob Lyon for GB manager too.
