Probably the best anybody can hope for is that they will not race again on a Wednesday night and will revert back to Saturday's All matches should revert back to their best nights When Speedway was successful in this country most matches took place at the weekend. I have always said the GP's has ruined Speedway in this country.

In the middle ages man kept animals for their meat and their clothes. If they had not civilisation would have died out in Northern Europe due to the harsh winters , so the vegetarians or vegans need to thank them -
Race Nights - What do you think so far?
mickthemuppet replied to Trevor's topic in Speedway News and Discussions
why would any team would want to race on a Monday I know this could be quite simple but why do the clubs not say what nights they want to race on -
The Speedway programme was shown on Thursday night on Anglia including a rider of the series It included Milton Keynes and Rye House although at he time could not be picked up on those two tracks as the signal was not strong enough. I remember giving Mick Hines some tracks which had him and his brother on them as he had no videos of them racing The next programme Anglia tv did was called Wheels which comprised Speedway , Truck Racing, Stock Car, Drag Racing

World Championship Pairs
mickthemuppet replied to Mark's topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup
I think the final stages of this tournament will be great and much better than recent WTC finals which Poland used to dominate. In other WTC finals it was very easy to predict the heat winners but this weekend in will not be so easy , Looking forward to a great final -

What about Ipswich? It holds more than Belle Vue -
John Louis once said there was only one line to ride at Poole which was a half a yard off the fence

Fixed night farce-how much longer

Chris Louis , the promoter does not own Foxhall Stadium .In fact the stadium has not been owned by a Speedway promoter for at least 50 years Try and keep up -
Fixed night farce-how much longer
mickthemuppet replied to mickthemuppet's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
But the crowds are terrible It's working so well that the spectators will not go on those nights -
How much longer will the fixed night farce go on. It was originally to get GP riders back so that was a complete failure. How many teams are happy racing on a Monday and a Wednesday. End the fixed night's now or you could find out there wont be any teams left. Much better to let the clubs have their own choice of nights Monday is the worst night possible all through the history of Speedway so why revert to it now

British speedway: it's not all bad, you know!

Revenues has nothing to do with attendances Please tell me where I said football is on the way to being as poor as speedway -

mickthemuppet replied to TonyMac's topic in Speedway News and Discussions
Attendances given out by the clubs are not correct so I would take that with a pinch of salt and would think the average attendance might not have increased at all in the PL. Accrington Stanley were very successful in division 2 yet their average attendance was below 2000 and one home match was below 1000 -
Fixed race nights... early indications!!!
mickthemuppet replied to Phil The Ace's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
We also have to remember that the attendances given out by all the league clubs are not correct as they are all lower than what are printed -

mickthemuppet replied to Phil The Ace's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
I think you might be getting confused with ground capacity with crowd attendances at matches For example -My closest league club Colchester United In 1948 in the Southern League Average attendance 9,300 This season average gate this season around 3.200. This is in a ground with an overall capacity of over 10,000 Nothing at all to do with health and safety -

Football has less than half the people going today than it used to have in the 1950's Most entertainments and sports are far less today than back then. Tennis being the main exception. Maybe Formula One -
Fewer meetings and Rain Offs
mickthemuppet replied to wealdstone's topic in Speedway News and Discussions
I would think after this season the Monday and Wednesday night odd scheme will be forgotten. When live TV matches start that's when it will hit home. You could not get a worse night to stage Speedway than a Monday -
Isn't it good that the new Royal baby has been named after the Ipswich Promoter

Ipswich V Lakeside Good Friday 2.15pm
mickthemuppet replied to Arch Stanton's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
So what happens to a cricket match if it is rained off half way through you have to pay full price Wimbledon tennis if it rains halfway through the days play there are no refunds there In football I do not think you get your money back if the match is abandoned before 90 minutes Even the British darts open at Butlins where the public were not allowed there would no rebate if you were staying there So Speedway is no different to other sports
