Snyper1010 Posted January 12, 2009 Report Share Posted January 12, 2009 Do you really want to be sitting in a stand in utter silence? my first visit to Berwick i took a seat in the stand after heat 1 i was round the other side on the back straight that was the first time i ever tried sitting at a speedway meeting. The atmosphere was none existent the racing didnt feel the same either (not sure why) I love standing at speedway as was mentioned when in a group all stood round having a pint and a laugh is what adds to the greatness.

baltimate007 Posted February 9, 2009 Report Share Posted February 9, 2009 You either like speedway or you don't? All the advertising in the world won't get me to a football match! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ianmartin Posted February 10, 2009 Report Share Posted February 10, 2009 Nor I. Speedway is in the blood. Football got washed out of my life years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baltimate007 Posted February 14, 2009 Report Share Posted February 14, 2009 i think the sports finished, and thats that. every year for the last 20 years! we have the same problems, the same discussions, nothing changes, and things have just gone from bad to worse. This recession, which isn't even in full swing yet! will be the final nail in the coffin for our sport. There will soon be 2 million people on the dole, and that includes people i know who simply cant afford £15.00 to watch Coventry. At the end of the day, speedway tracks are a business, just like any other form of business, and if banks, factory's, and woolies couldn't make it through, what hope is there for a speedway track thats lucky to pull 500 people on a good night!. 2009 -on is going to be tough, so brace your self, this is just the tip of the ice burg.

I agree fully - and it seems that the sport wants the fans to bail it out constantly and feeds of the fact that its a smaller sport. It could be huge with a bit of proper management - and people could make money from it if only it was given full effort and concentration Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trees Posted March 31, 2009 Report Share Posted March 31, 2009 Speedway has been going to go under for donkeys years but it's still here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snyper1010 Posted March 31, 2009 Report Share Posted March 31, 2009 Too many people are in it for themselves and not the good of the sport. Thats really the major issue. If you can get a group of people that have the growth and survival of the sport at heart it wont progress. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keef Posted April 9, 2009 Report Share Posted April 9, 2009 And those teams which are in stadiums without those facilities ,which they only rent and have no control over will do what exactly ?? close down i suppose . So it's goodbye Stoke,Scunthorpe,Plymouth, And Workington to name just a few who have no seating. Worky have 1,000 seats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
