Agrotron Posted October 4, 2013 Report Share Posted October 4, 2013 My thoughts for the season well I am pleased my team have reached the finals, but admittedly I feel this has been the worst season I can think of and ideas need to be seriously bucked up for 2014 including an independent board, but to be totally honest I don't feel there is any point in wishful thinking I mean this is Speedway the biggest joke of a sport.

Gavan Posted October 4, 2013 Report Share Posted October 4, 2013 Been a cracking season. Poole in the final and a likely British World Champion. Doesn't get much better than this. Happy Days! not a speedway fan then are you. everybody agrees that the sport is on its knees and then you pop up spouting rubbish as per usual. constant trolling 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as i am concerned i am looking forward to seeing Tai lift the world crown and if anyone deserves it he does also looking forward to what should be a cracking play off final to end the season on a massive high. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woz01 Posted October 4, 2013 Report Share Posted October 4, 2013 As a Bees fan, the pros Coventry Storm Greg Zengota Decent attendances (considering) A promoter who actually promotes! Cons Finishing bottom Gary Havelock Roynons injuries (again) Not improving the side when we were midtable although i think that was mainly due to the promotion being owed cash. Brummies not buying Barker as ordered. The league really needs to clamp down on clubs owing money to other clubs, its not a level playing field when this occurs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woz01 Posted October 4, 2013 Report Share Posted October 4, 2013 As Bees supporter how do you feel about the Promotion not arranging any TEAM fixtures since September 6th ? I know there has been other meetings but the starvation of TEAM meetings involving the top riders is very strange . Will there be a Season Finale match on October 26th or that the season ended team wise ? I ask the question on behalf of a Coventry fan without access to the forum ... The NL pairs event, Brandonapolis and Leicester double header have been arranged. Dont see many other promotions putting on extra meetings at this point.

Gemini Posted October 4, 2013 Report Share Posted October 4, 2013 .....woz01.....The NL pairs event, Brandonapolis and Leicester double header have been arranged. Dont see many other promotions putting on extra meetings at this point. Lakeside for one, whose season ended in August I believe without a final 'goodbye' meeting and it's all sort of fizzled out. Have their season ticket holders had value for money? At least Coventry are trying to put on a few extra meetings. Personally I wouldn't have been that bothered about seeing any more of the E.L. team but being as the match is against Leicester I've changed my mind. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rob tatum Posted October 4, 2013 Report Share Posted October 4, 2013 My thoughts are GPs very enjoyable. The EL absolute garbage from start to finish ,I have attended league meetings this year at various tracks & yes i most certainly am a die hard fan but it pains me to say it dire dire dire. All very well complimenting promotions on the play offs (2 & a half hours !!!) But why has all the rest felt as if it was just going thru the motions. Stadiums still look rubbish ,very spectators ,races that take forever & for all that we are asked to pay whati regard as a lot of money. Has the sport ever been in such a state ? No. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Voice Of Reason Posted October 4, 2013 Report Share Posted October 4, 2013 (edited) I would not for one moment doubt that Mr. Shovlar is actually a Speedway fan. However, what I would doubt is his sportsmanship, fair-mindedness and integrity - and that goes for ANY other Poole supporter that would consider winning the Elite League Title in 2013 as being nothing other than a very hollow, cheap award; achieved basically by cheating. Fortunately, there are some Poole Supporters contributing on this forum that don't have such a blinkered, idiotic view of proceedings over the past few months. Full credit to you for having the ability to speak your own minds; instead of being swayed by 'The Shovlarosi'. As a Speedway Supporter who, let me make this clear yet again, has NO dislike of any Poole riders OR the majority of their supporters, a Poole victory for the 2013 title has about as much depth as a grain of sand.

E I Addio Posted October 4, 2013 Report Share Posted October 4, 2013 Lakeside for one, whose season ended in August I believe without a final 'goodbye' meeting and it's all sort of fizzled out. Have their season ticket holders had value for money? Leicester Lakeside season ticket holders are not happy. I am surprised any body from any club buys a season ticket anymore with the lack of meetings and postponements. This is a serious problem because clubs depend on season ticket sales to pay of last seasons debts but if fans don't get value for money sales are going to drop.

I thought that's what the Sky money was used for - in most cases anyway!! I agree that fans want value for money, but whats wrong with offering a 'season ticket' or 'voucher book' for a set number of league fixtures?! If there is also a small discount/incentive thrown in for early purchase, why is that a problem? If fans at certain clubs have paid out in advance for an unstipulated number of matches, then I agree the system needs looking at! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poole in the final and lovin' it. If we win great but we are here on merit, having made the playoffs and then dispatched of Swindon. And if we win the final the Krug will certainly be cracked open in this household. It would be a brilliant title against all the odds, with massive praise going to the best promoter in the country in Matt Ford, and Middlo for guiding the boys to their 4th final in a row. (praiseworthy enough on its own. You and others carry on moaning and groaning about UK speedway and let true fans get on with enjoying their speedway without all this manufactured depression. Speedway will be here for years to come. What a season for Poole fans! Up The Pirates! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob tatum Posted October 5, 2013 Report Share Posted October 5, 2013 Just put mr shovlar in charge as in his world everything is perfect on planet speedway. You are either blinkered or a wind up merchant & yes you have certainly wound me up with your ridiculous "everything is fine at poole"views. I suppose if all went t*** up & only poole survived you would be happy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
