  1. Absolutely superb from the Glasgow promotion in showing the final in their stadium on their big screen... something that was sadly missing from Leicester last year!
  2. Never In Doubt Congratulations Glasgow Tigers... now you can celebrate
  3. A bit like when we hold our national championship on a Monday night in Manchester
  4. Just think how many that could get on a Saturday night, more than the 1,300 they do get?
  5. No doubt the Tiggers will be on a nice big cash bonus for winning... The Pirates... a weekend at the Shateau?
  6. It would have been nice for a farewell meeting for some of the club legends to have been paraded to the crowd to make an event of it. All it would have required was an invite, that's all
  7. Sport England, who almost put a nail in the coffin of a return of Speedway to Brandon with the person they sent to testify at the Public Inquiry?
  8. Game on! "We're" going to need to have "our" gating gloves on for Wednesday night, could go down to the wire
  9. Somebody ought to let Glasgow know they've got the score wrong
  10. Why on earth Complin didn't come in there to replace Pijper is beyond me... I hope it doesn't come back to bite "us" in the final reckoning
  11. Loving the roving mic tonight another improvement in BSN coverage
  12. That attitude of promotion is so short sighted, imagine if they had a list of legends that they could have promoted the meeting with and messages played over the PA from those that couldn't make it, it could have made a very large crowd massive! And at what cost? Little to nothing!
  13. Yes, it's a turn of phrase. The general point I was making was that if you hold your meetings when people have time and find it easier to get to them, crowds will turn up
  14. But traditionally they've always had their largest crowds on a Good Friday... not a school night
  15. Or just parade them out on track for us all to show our appreciation, like they do at the Tennis (seemingly every year) with a parade of champions... better than a load of kids running around the track!
  16. First of all I hope Puk is OK, i didn't hang around for the final as nobody really seemed bothered who won, there was no prize to ride for (?). As a "farewell" meeting what a p155 poor effort from the promotion, where were all the club legends? As David Howe, who was only there in his capacity as Dougy's spannerman, said he was hoping to catch up with, Sam Tesar, Hans Clausen & Ronni Pedersen etc. You have to assume that none of these ex riders were invited and Ully & Emil turned up under their own steam. Even the programme cover was a p155 take, of all the riders pictured only Ully was there! Buster was even on car park duty taking my final £1 in a final "come and have a go if you think you're hard enough" gesture? And his "thank you" speech was quite rightly greeted with silence! Of all the memories i have of the EoES through the years, there were absolutely none from last night and it will be quickly forgotten.
  17. 3 of the most well attended meetings I've been to this season have all been held on a Saturday night... just saying
  18. Just not on it, the track is a shadow of the track it used to be, the only passing line is down the inside, that's not Bomber's line
  19. This really is one of the tamest speedway meetings I've ever been to... the large crowd really deserved better!
  20. I know what you mean... followed by the statement on the website about he doesn't care whether you come or not. But I'm not going to cut my nose off to spite my face. I'm just going to treat it for what it is, an end of season fixture filler
