Thank God That's Over - Thoughts Of The 2013 Season


Recommended Posts

The GPs have been great & every year the product has improved. The elite league has been rubbish & getting worse every year. Can anyone honestly say all is fine & we should just carry on as we are ? Just reading the posts it appears just a couple of poole fans feel this way but surely anyone with a modicum of sense knows that the time is up a massive change is needed NOW.

The trouble with speedway is it is run by dinosaurs Who still think its the 1960s Wake up and smell the coffee before it becomes like the dinosaurs extinct

Sky do not seem to agree with that. They dropped the GP's but are still broadcasting the Elite League.

Thank goodness we don't all think like you Rob Tatum, you're like a broken watch man!

Is he right twice a day?

Not really a fair representation of what occurred.

 

The SGP contact came to an end last year and Sky chose not to negotiate a new one.

The Elite League contract still had a year to run so they carried on throughout 2013.

Where the viewing figures for Monday night(midweek) speedway were still better than when Sky covered the GPs!!!

Just a heads up attack the post not the poster.

 

 

 

Exactly! It's been a cracking season but watch out, Gavan, the Voice of Reason and the other depressives will be after you! :lol:

 

Been a super season of racing, and last night was a superb meeting with a great outcome. Tomorrow sees a mouth watering battle between Poole and Brum with more of the same next week.

 

Possibly the best speedway season in a few years if you stay out of the politics and enjoy your sport.

 

Don't let the depressives tell you any different. :drink:

There shouldn't be any problem retaining Sky Sports then for 2014.

Are you saying the Elite lge is in great shape ? Rob is making perfect sense with his post...

No the EL isn't in great shape in many ways but it's not all negative, how he can compare running GPs to running a league I don't know, not all is fantastic about the GP series imo!

At least they could pay there way. And now you have prima donnas in multi coloured kevlars and sarcastic fans on forums

 

You clearly haven't read the views of the tyrannosaurus Rex clan. They did nothing but whinge and whine about the sport.

The elite league on sky comes across no better than a cycle speedway meeting. So please let's not kid ourselves the gps on tv look great the elite league looks dire. A blue tarpaulin with car tyres covers the dog track at the man utd of speedway poole well that looks really great on tv dosent it A no not really. All my opinion .

Funny when people relate to speedways past we get the dinosaur accusations, but in those days we had the best league in the world, real racing, world class british riders, a much fuller fixture list, team riding, and last but not least heaving terraces. Nothing there you can accuse modern day speedway of.
