srbramble Posted November 14, 2008 Report Share Posted November 14, 2008 (edited) Yes,surely if they were advertised and also an entrance fee charged then they would be legit meetings.And as such only one a month would be able to be run.Plus if the general public was welcomed as such,then you would also need to comply with other safety standards?I know in Denmark they run lots of meetings that are not essentially for the general public(80cc meetings and 500cc meetings other than Superliga).They require less stringent medical facilities for these meetings!!!! If thats the case, then I'm sure we don't want to complicate the issue, but why can't they have the odd meeting here and there with spectators? It is obviously important to those who are members of the STRA to maintain their position as a club with members, but if they were to put on the occasional meeting, and charge entry, it may be financially beneficial for them, and for the fans who would get to see the stars of the future. I'm positive that the same people who volunteer their services at speedway meetings would do the same for the STRA, or if not, club members could do it. Just an idea.

iris123 Posted November 14, 2008 Report Share Posted November 14, 2008 I guess they could get around the situation.Maybe by taking voluntary contributions like the Museums did.But i think the BSPA are pretty stringent on these type of thing.Seem to remember Len Silver being at odds with them way back in the 70s when he wanted to run training meetings in the off season against Iwade and Mildenhall.

Blackbird Posted November 15, 2008 Report Share Posted November 15, 2008 And so worth mentioning then that there is a Dragons meeting (club members only; I think day membership can be paid for spectators..?) at Sittingbourne (Iwade) on this coming Sunday.. 11am start time.. And sounds like theres to be a continental flavour to see http://www.speedway-forum.co.uk/forums/ind...p;#entry1368473 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lucifer sam Posted November 16, 2008 Report Share Posted November 16, 2008 Maybe you hadn't realised......no-one takes much notice of what you post Mostly because the majority of Parsloes's posts are regurgitating the same old mistruths regarding the Oxford v Wimbledon match in 2005, when, in fact, the OSMA were robbed of the bonus point by dodgy refereeing decisions by Ronnie Allan All the best Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
