British Final

[Silver Bee]

Here's an idea, go to the meeting.

[Sandie]

Here's an idea, go to the meeting.

Here's an idea - stop thinking like a student and understand that some of us have jobs and dont finish work at 3pm like students!!!!!

[Silver Bee]

Why should sky show it just because of that? Otherwise they'd have to televise every meeting because certain people can't go.

[spin king]

Does anyone know what the line up is for this meeting.

[Ron Butler]

Does anyone really care? Its not as if its of any major importance nowadays anyway.

 

 

Ah! another outbreak of negativity in the Hartland.

 

There are, you may be surprised to read, speedway supporters who are just that; supporters of the entire sport of speedway and not merely of a local club. There are, for example, former supporters of Exeter and Cradley Heath, of Wembley and New Cross, who don't have a local team to follow. I imagine that they care. I imagine that it is of 'major importance' to them.

 

There are people who have been introduced to or have discovered speedway on television in recent years; such people most likely wish to discover all aspects of the sport not only team contests. There are certainly people who were regular and enthusiastic supporters of their local team in years past but who for reasons of age and infirmity cannot now attend the various stadia. I know that they care because I am one such.

 

Yes, Mr Hart, there are people who really care - though obviously you do not!

Exactly, and don't sit on our lazy arses all week drinking the money the working taxpayer stumps up to send them there.

Heres an idea, if you feel so passionately about a meeting, book a holiday from work an go

 

Why should anyone expect some God given right to see a Sky meeting on there tele?

 

Maybe if I strop on here about the Sky meeting then Sky will start showing what I ask?

Piss Off. It'll cost ME 9 grand if I go to uni just for fees, add on accomodation e.t.c. Tax Payer going to pay for that are they?

 

Still, when I'm skint and can't go to speedway as much, no doubt SKY will put on whatever meeting I fancy.

[Silver Bee]

Ashworth? What about Compton? Is he injured?

[Catalan]

Ashworth? What about Compton? Is he injured?

 

Said in the Star he didn't want to ride in the meeting

[crazysue]

Here's an idea, go to the meeting.

 

Some cannot go due to finances, kids, work, illness, lack of transport etc and are expressing disappointment as usually this meeting is broadcast via Sky.

 

Not that any of the above relate to me as I am going!

 

 

[Silver Bee]

And that's fair enough, but don't sit here and moan about SKY not showing it if they can't. As I put, when I can't go to a meeting I don't moan about SKY not showing it when they could. By it not being on SKY there should be a bigger crowd which is better for speedway and not SKY's viewing figures.

[MattyHart]

Said in the Star he didn't want to ride in the meeting

 

All them years of moaning that he wasn't given a fair chance,then he gets one,and he withdraws.

Spot on sunshine

Excuse me - dont use my quote for you attack.

I said nothing about sitting on lazy arses etc!! But now come to tnk of it!

 

 

And SCB - if only it was that easy to use your leave for speedway. you wait till your all grownded upand have responsibilites outside of speedway

 

Okay - maybe that will never happen!!!!

It amazes me that the grown up are complaining that Sky won't do as they wish.

 

If that's growing up, you can stick it!

 

If the British Final is THAT important to me I'd make sure I got there. As it is, to me it's a reasonable meeting and I may attend. Certainly any meeting I felt strongly enough to post a rant about Sky not being there would be a meeting I tried to get to.

[roo]

Piss Off.

 

How about you kiss my arse.
