oldace Posted January 14, 2014 Report Share Posted January 14, 2014 I am going to speak with an old friend in the pub about it all.

PHILIPRISING Posted January 15, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2014 What a load of cobblers. What is wrong with 1-15. I IMAGINE the reason why the riders feel so strongly about it concerns personal merchandise... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grand Central Posted January 15, 2014 Report Share Posted January 15, 2014 I IMAGINE the reason why the riders feel so strongly about it concerns personal merchandise... But are Speedway Riders really that thick? Do they really think that the reason they are not making any money at all from personal merchandise is down to having the wrong number? If you look at the examples online of the lamentable type of merchandise being offered by them it is pretty obvious that getting their preferred number will not change the bottom line. Poor choice, poor design and ridiculous high pricing policies all need to have attention paid rather than bleating about numbers. Just look at the awful 2014 cap being offered by Greg Hancock for just under £20. http://www.shop.greghancock.org/viewcategory.php?groupid=2 I mean ... who in their right mind would want that monstrosity on their head? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Pedaler Posted January 15, 2014 Report Share Posted January 15, 2014 Nicki Pedersen is the Dick Dastardly of the SGP Series. He should be made to wear "00" Like you say,look at other sports.It might work for F1,although i just know Schumacher or Vettel and have no idea which number they have on their cars.But speedway isn't "other sports" and doesn't operate like "other sports" ... F1, MotoGP, WRC, NASCAR, etc etc are all pretty well run, make loads of money and attract HUGE crowds, are given massive TV coverage and attracts huge interest,.. but as you say speedway doesn't operate like that.

Mark Posted January 16, 2014 Report Share Posted January 16, 2014 I IMAGINE the reason why the riders feel so strongly about it concerns personal merchandise... Fair enough. If the riders can increase an income package then good luck to them. I happen to think having last seasons 1-8 numbered as such for the following season is clear for the viewing public. You can easily see who have progressed and regressed in the ladder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PHILIPRISING Posted January 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2014 AGREE but think it was hard to rebuff riders whose commercial options are fairly limited. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A ORLOV Posted January 16, 2014 Report Share Posted January 16, 2014 Will any rider pick 555 and contact the makers of State Express for sponsorship, as in some countries they cannot advertise cigarettes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iris123 Posted January 16, 2014 Report Share Posted January 16, 2014 Individual rider merchandise is pretty hard to come by actually. Nicki has his own little stall at Holsted.We also get a guy from Poland coming to Germany and Denmark(Holsted at least) on occasions.But like someone else has said,it isn't that good and very over priced,imo.Having a special number on anything isn't going to make me buy anything.Having a reasonable price and marketable design probably would Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SCB Posted January 16, 2014 Report Share Posted January 16, 2014 TBH most speedway merchandise is tacky rubbish that I wouldn't be seen dead in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
