Again mate attendance at the E.L.R.C at Sheffield was ?. This thread will and the super7evens will bite folk on the ass, i dont want it to, but watch this space. And actually again , why can no one answer the question of what he is doing to take it forward, venue and entertainment that was used 20 years ago what has he changed ?. -

Not actually the crowd at the last one was poor that is FACT , can i ask what will make this one of the best ever in youre opinion ?, the fuel girls maybe ?. . For every positive for this meeting there are negatives, most coming from me ?, i guess so, but they are points non the less. -

If i am responding on here it is to the thread in general. I am not into little MSN convos like you have had with Matty Hart. -

Pretty much , why or what would make it any different ?. Like i said it has lost the Kings Lynn fans who would attend, in more numbers than Reading and Arean will add. -

First read what i am saying before you comment it seems to be a consistent problem with your replies , i have said a Sunday is preferable , never said anything other than that. Big events at Sheffield and failure go hand in hand, more so it seems when they are televised, the P.L.R.C fiasco,E.L.R.C poor crowd, Since you seem to blame Poole speedway for the E.L.R.C then here's one the WTC transcended into farce, that's what is deemed successful ?. It is not a case of likeing it nor not ITS WHAT CAN BE DONE TO IMPROVE !!!!!!!! as i have said from the start. As for facilities you can have the best stadium in the world, but like i have said all through this , IF AND THERE IS NO REASON I HAVE SEEN YET THAT SAYS IT SHOULDNT it is as poorly attended as the last E.L.R.C it will look embarrassing, that is to no ones benefit. If the super7even is the best the B.S.P.A can come up with i think that this season will be the nail in the coffin for these events , at the top level at least. -

I didn't know you were a women did i, and fair dos sorry about that. The thing about this is , you are taking it of me being critical of what is being done , i am only thinking of what could be done to make it better, if it works then fair play , i don't see what has been done that would make it work. Sheffield as a venue IMO , is not at all logical for Eastbourne,Poole,Arena,Ipswich where as KIngs Lynn is. When ever i have been on tour on a Speedway holiday i have been based in the Sheffield,Coventry area, and getting to places like Kings Lynn,Peterborough is easy, which is what i am trying to say Kings Lynn is more open to a bigger support at the meeting IMO. To be fair this is like banging my head of a brick wall , you are reading of what i post what you choose to. -

I think that in terms of the crowd it would attract Kings Lynn is fairer, and by the fact that moving it to Kings Lynn opens it up for the potential of even one more track to attend then yes in fact it is better traveling wise as it has potential to carry a bigger support and logical to carry more support than Sheffield. And as i have said clearly JC agrees with me on that as he arranged a EL event there, so do you now disagree with him ? are you against the pairs being there ?. You see that's the thing isn't it , if you make comment against the super sevens on here is it seen as against it , i am making a point that i see as constructive criticism. Poole have taken a massive following to Kings Lynn though haven't they, they didn't support the E.L.R.C at Sheffiled before why would this time be any different this time ? ow wait how could i forget its because the " Grid Girls " or what ever they are called are there. Swindon and Poole transcended into farce due to elements beyond the Promoter control. The E.L.R.C at Sheffield was a failure because there were as many fans at the leagues showpiece event as there were at a Sheffield versus Glasgow match, do you then seen that as success ? Here is yet another point the E.L.R.C was at Sheffield at a time when Reading and i think Arena and Swindon ( although i may be wrong ) were in the PL and Kings Lynn ( another track who would travel North plus they have the red hot favourite for the event ) were with in a logical distance, and it was still poorly supported. I also don't find it coincidence that the ones against the points i making are. A Sheffield fan. A Swindon fan who is in Sheffield that day ( due to work ). And a fan yourself who by his accounts has said you don't go to these event any way. I have still yet to here logical reasons why Sheffiled should be chosen for this event or what is going to be the " big thing " to bring the fans back. It is STILL a medicore event. It will STILL not have the top 16 EL riders. It will STILL have a below par attendance. -

There is nothing " clever trousers " about it, only stating my opinion which as of yet i have not heard any thing that would make me think different. I am not saying Kings Lynn is easier to get to , all i have said is that it has the " potential " to attract a bigger crowd than Sheffield. The E.L.R.C at Sheffield on a Thursday night has been done before and it failed , it looked shabby on the telly as it had the same crowd as a decent PL fixture gets, why do people in speedway never remember things that have already failed !!!. -

Ah aye thank you as i have already posted Thursday night is impractical wouldn't you agree. -

wjm replied to Sandie's topic in Speedway Testimonials & Individual and Shared Events
Not sure about Swindon , but didn't Poole take a massive following there on a Wednesday night for a EL fixture once ?. . Reading took a big support to Peterborough also not that far from Kings Lynn If Coventry,Belle Vue,Wolves,Peterborough fans were going to go to Sheffield they would just as easy go to Kings Lynn. Plus you would give Ipswich,Arena fans more of a chance. So by my reconing the only teams that excludes is Eastbourne and Swindown. -

Is just an opinion like i have said , seems if fans are going to it they wont have any problems getting there for the pairs either then , so i guess every one is happy with it there for that or we going to get contradictory statements now ? -

Birmingham eventually will be ideal , but for the moment and time Kings Lynn seems logical distance wise. -

Yes that's exactly what i am saying, it is not catering for all EL tracks. ! Still good to see you found my weekend quote. -

Yet again they things have been and gone , they are not there or dont work for a reason , work should be done to improve them like i say , i dont think the " Super7even seris " is what will. -

Again i will ask where i said it should be a Sunday afternoon , and now you mention Poole, god i am not defending them but some fans really are bitter about Poole, not every thing speedway relates to them you know. Like i posted Sheffield on a Thursday nigh isn't suitable for most fans, it is more Northerly than every EL track would in to be correct in saying that , in what way is that accommodating to EL fans ?. By the way in case you are wondering i am a Berwick and Speedway fan , so i have no allegiance to an EL club , i just think this event location wise has been poorly thought out. -

I said my preference would be that it is run at the weekend. In fact if you go back i only questioned the Thursday running, i didn't mention the weekend, but that would have have been my preference.
