The Third Man Posted February 6, 2007 Report Share Posted February 6, 2007 well, this was posted by Star Lady, and however you want to look at it, it's certainly a start ... so is that an answer to your question? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Thats great, nothing would give me greater pleasure than to be proved wrong on this one, if i am then speedway will have taken a step in the right direction, if not there will have been a lot of hype for nothing, lets hope its the former Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lupus Posted February 6, 2007 Report Share Posted February 6, 2007 At least you are willing to wait and see - I get a bit racked off when people are virtually rubbing their hands with glee at the prospect of something failing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TFI THURSDAY Posted February 6, 2007 Report Share Posted February 6, 2007 wjm, just to put us in the picture, incase i missed any of this fascinating thread you have contributed to, could you please tell me,which team you support and how long you have been a speedway fan,cause you have some real strong opinions about this matter.Did you say earlier it was Berwick? If so are you from way up North? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandie Posted February 7, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2007 ahem ... where did the thread originate <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Thats correct Steve - and I suggested discussion. Not bickering and handbags and cots and toys!! I love a good debate where there is merit and new thought but already it has turned into a twit-4-tat meaningless I know more than you, Im right your not, thread. Lets give the 7's a chance. Im not overhappy with some of the ideas (pin up girls, fuel girls and evening meetings!!) but if it benefits the sport then thats what is important. And we wont know if it has been successful till the end of he season. So long as its all evaluated properly and mistakes rectifed we can ask for no more than that. But of course thats just my opinion!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The SAINT Posted February 7, 2007 Report Share Posted February 7, 2007 ok,on a very positive not (and forgetting all the politics)...the chance of seeing the worlds best riders (give or take a couple) on the worlds best race track on a warm summers evening is mouthwatering to say the least! there can be no arguement to that!

Squirelnutkins Posted February 7, 2007 Report Share Posted February 7, 2007 Really looking forward to the ELRC this year but i don't get why it is on a Thursday! I know Sheffield have Dog Racing most of the week but surely they can let Speedway have a Saturday! Think more people would go if it was a Saturday or a Sunday! Oh well! Going up on the Thursday and staying in a Hotel and coming back on the Friday! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Third Man Posted February 7, 2007 Report Share Posted February 7, 2007 (edited) no way the dogs would run on a saturday night, hoping that no riders would have other more lucrative commitments on the thursday night so that they will turn up i suppose Edited February 7, 2007 by The Third Man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shortcrust Posted February 7, 2007 Report Share Posted February 7, 2007 (edited) Lets give the 7's a chance. Im not overhappy with some of the ideas (pin up girls, fuel girls) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> It's a motorsport, afraid it comes with the territory. Anyway a bit of healthy competition never hurt anyone did it? Edited February 7, 2007 by shooting star Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wallbanger Posted February 7, 2007 Report Share Posted February 7, 2007 A plus point for the elrc is its being run on a night when the schools are on their summer hols so the kids can still make it. We have booked a hotel and it makes a nice change not being ripped of with room prices altering cos theres a major event happening (cardiff gp weekends).....

Pollyanna Posted February 7, 2007 Report Share Posted February 7, 2007 agree with that as long as you can guarentee the warm weather in summer? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> So what happens if it turns out to be a very wet evening.....and with our unpredictable weather, it is not unlikely. When is the re-staging date if necessary? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TFI THURSDAY Posted February 8, 2007 Report Share Posted February 8, 2007 It doesnt matter at all who WJM supports or why.The only reason i was asking was is because the majority of people who will not be happy with this meeting will be the ones who have to travel the furthest(costs,time,etc),so i wondered which area etc WJM was from!!!! I know WJM has some valid points and everyone is entitled to there opinion because without opinions these forums arent worth while.I for one will be there because i live local but the first words i said when i read the date time and venue were: on a thursday!!!!!!!!!
