norwichkev Posted August 10, 2012 Report Share Posted August 10, 2012 Most stupid post ever goes to you kev. Speedway star are clearly stating 3pm strt was agreed and also leicester have said and dudley. Perhaps all av dreamnt it then and u midly fans are right. Win at all costs, if thats your best chance then you carry on, Dont see why dudley would put on there website they are objecting to it if they thought it was half four from the start. Think about what you are saying here. Mildenhall are the home club and have made no mention, surely it would have been blasted out at last meeting - who put the info in the Star I have no idea, somebody from Dudley? Leicester after the incident with Lewis @ the last meeting - you would listen to them? I certainly wouldn't. That leaves Dudley and would they have the best interest in moving the meeting forwards? hmmmmmmmmmm Van Straaten involved by any chance trying to influence BSPA cronies? If Dudley are that desperate to win they need to resort to such rubbish then shame on you sir. I could be as far away from the truth as you are, but probably know about as much as you. By all means if you have something concrete on paper from Mildenhall that states your case you maybe credible. Kev 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhidassa Posted August 10, 2012 Report Share Posted August 10, 2012 What confusion about last week??? It was advertised long before the meeting that it would be a 3pm start!! Actually posted on the clubs facebook page on 22nd July and on their Official website on the 20th July. As the meeting was not until Sunday 5th August surey that was enough notice? Of course unfortunately due to weather conditions it didn't in fact start until 4.45pm, but surely that was better than another rainoff? I can't remember where, but I'd seen it advertised as a 6pm start, then assumed it was a 4.30pm then checked to find a 3pm start.. a bit too late. Not being a regular, I don't check these things weeks in advance, as it's rare I'll actually go. I wasn't referring to the weather delay, not a lot to be done about that. I'm speaking as a fan of speedway, that goes by all the various - the Speedway Star, BSPA, and what I see on social networking sites / the forums. Whilst it may not always be the promotions fault the confusion, I did see different times last week on Sunday when deciding last minute whether or not to attend, and of course the confusion on this thread.

PaulDK Posted August 10, 2012 Report Share Posted August 10, 2012 At the end of the day... whatever has gone on... we WILL support our Heathens team OFF the terraces... and support them fully at Monmore Wood ON the terraces. We know they will give 100% whatever happens. The only losers will be the Mildenhall Management as 80 - 90% (at least 500 fans) of travelling away Heathens supporters will NOT be attending. They stand to lose at least £7000 in lost revenue from the Gate, programme, food and drink sales...etc If we win or lose...the biggest losers will be Mildenhall as when other supporters from other teams see what has gone on here...they will also stay away in droves..!

21st century heathen Posted August 10, 2012 Report Share Posted August 10, 2012 There's no point fans getting 'ratty' with each other. The Heathens fans were under the impression it had been changed because that's what we were told. Mildenhall fans will just have to accept that as fact, why would Heathens fans lie about it?! The Mildenhall fans have heard nothing of the sort and state there have been no announcements about a change of start time. Heathens fans will just have to accept that, why would they lie?! The Heathens' management view seems to be backed up by Leicester and by something in the Speedway Star (I haven't seen that myself as I don't buy it). Also, the fact that the Mildenhall website was updated just after the home defeat at the weekend has raised a question (I first read that on someone's FB), though as I stated previously there could be a legitimate reason. The real issue here is not that Heathens will have riders missing, we all accept that because riders are often called up for higher level racing. It happens in the EL just as much as the NL. Just a few weeks ago 7 of the 14 regular riders were missing from a meeting at Coventry. The real issue is whether or not the Mildenhall management have made a late change to a previous agreement and the reason for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Halifaxtiger Posted August 10, 2012 Report Share Posted August 10, 2012 The only losers will be the Mildenhall Management as 80 - 90% (at least 500 fans) of travelling away Heathens supporters will NOT be attending. They stand to lose at least £7000 in lost revenue from the Gate, programme, food and drink sales...etc Certainly the Mildenhall promotion will lose out in terms of the attendance due to the unavailbility of several riders given the Dudley away support and the attractiveness of this fixture to neutrals. I was really looking forward to the match but, like many others, I doubt very much that I will attend given who is missing. That's not Mildenhall's fault, but whether or not it was advertised at 3pm in the first place it seems to me that moving the start time forward would resolve the situation to a significant degree, so why not do it now?

You don't think it was updated to add the result of the Stoke match and to link it to that report then? That would be the logical conclusion most people would come to, I'd suspect. Especially since that report was added 1 minute earlier. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greyhoundp Posted August 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2012 (edited) Statement on Mildenhalls web site says, start time has NEVER been discussed, so it will be the usual start time of 4-30, no further comment will be made at this stage. I am sorry to say, if that is the case then i will not be going to watch Two patched up teams, especially for such an important fixture, how can it be representative of The Heathens, when the top three riders in the averages are missing. I am sure i am not alone in this, as on paper it was such an attractive fixture. We can go there with Two choices, either the strongest possible Team ie No1 Guest for Royno, RR for Ash, and the best unattached 3 pointer around. or go with three unattached 3 pointers, however that would be unfair on the remaining riders ie, Byron,Daryl, JWW, and Daniel. I have a very good idea who we may be able to use, but not certain on it, backed up by RR for Ashley, so anyone can cover his rides, we just need a half decent Unattached 3 pointer. We will of course make the best of it as we always have done, and i really do hope we can come away with something, good luck guys, whoever you may be.

builderbob Posted August 10, 2012 Report Share Posted August 10, 2012 it seems a post has been deleted here, perhaps the poster realized to use the rider he was hinting at would be a total ****take, and make the national league look more farceical than it is all ready Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seanmuffe Posted August 10, 2012 Report Share Posted August 10, 2012 Not that i give an tuppeny f=-k about this item but http://leicesterlions.co/2012/07/ fixture amendments shows and also having to quote the Despot of BP goes against the grain too. It says Leicester meeting will start late to enable LB to get from his meeting no mention of Mildy start time being put back...........but Glyn Taylor in proggie notes thanks Mildy for moving back to 3pm confusion left hand right hand not talking ...not at Leicester surely. As an aside the Leicester proggie says every week the next fixture is Rye House 7/4..........does anybody know what they are doing!!! :icon_smile_clown: :sad: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greyhoundp Posted August 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2012 (edited) i am entitled to delete my comments should i feel they are not relevant, and so far off the mark that they are ridiculous., and to be honest, this fixture has lost its appeal now.

MrMungo Posted August 13, 2012 Report Share Posted August 13, 2012 DUDLEY START TIME RESOLVED Mildenhall Speedway wish to make it clear that their meeting against Dudley this Sunday (19th August) is and was always starting at 4.30pm. Due to a third party stating a different start time, there seems to have been a misunderstanding on this matter. But we have now agreed with Dudley that our normal start time of 4.30pm is acceptable. We appreciate both teams are missing riders, but feel this will still be a tremendous meeting. The only alternative would have been to postpone the meeting, as it would have been impossible to prepare the stadium by 3pm. On top of this we know it would be very unlikely the three riders trying to get back to Leicester would have arrived on time for the start of that meeting. We apologise for any inconvenience this may have caused and hope the Dudley fans will still come and support their youngsters, as we know the Mildenhall Fen Tigers' fans will, and enjoy a great afternoon's entertainment. As far as Mildenhall are concerned the matter is now closed. We will be making no further comment on this issue and look forward to some exciting speedway on Sunday. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it Mildenhalls fault honestly that you pick a Prem rider as a no.1,that Ash Morris is stepping on to bigger and better things and Tom Perry has a big day on the grass?? not to mention shyte weather for 2 months and dates getting tight to run meetings End of the day this fixtures has been in place along time and its not the home teams fault you cant get your riders on this day, 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
