mdmc82 Posted March 21, 2015 Report Share Posted March 21, 2015 I could hear properly but I think he sola I'd something about he asked riders who are now in the pairs event in Poland the day before. Yes he did. Does this mean Doyle will no longer be in the line up or will he be coming back for it? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1 valve Posted March 23, 2015 Report Share Posted March 23, 2015 No Scott Nicholls? Chris said at last Fridays meeting that he had invited Scott who had wanted to attend but had commitments in Poland. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SCB Posted March 24, 2015 Report Share Posted March 24, 2015 Jesus Christ. Is he taking the piss wanting £20 for that? Really? What a piss poor line up for a rider that has been one of Britain's best riders for the last 10 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a piss poor line up for a rider that has been one of Britain's best riders for the last 10 years. Unfortunately a lot of riders are now busy with other fixtures. £20 still good for amount of races included. We pay almost the same for weaker line ups in the league.

Gemini Posted March 25, 2015 Report Share Posted March 25, 2015 (edited) Stop moaning Shawn! I'm happy with the riders announced as I don't want to see GP riders clear off into the distance thank you. This line up has quite a balanced feel about it and Chris might even win. 33 races for £20 is not bad at all.

What a piss poor line up for a rider that has been one of Britain's best riders for the last 10 years. Don't think the date helped, riders having to ride in Poland and the pairs meeting Saturday etc. £20 for me is still decent value to see 27 heats plus the junior rides if people get there early enough. To be fair I'd have paid 20 quid if it was Harris and an NL line up, he deserves his big day. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdmc82 Posted March 25, 2015 Report Share Posted March 25, 2015 Agree. This is about celebrating harris and his commitment not only to the bees but also british speedway in general. Always willing to guest and help out teams. Hope he gets the crowd he deserves. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCB Posted March 25, 2015 Report Share Posted March 25, 2015 This si why speedway fails. People running it and involved in it always have an excuse. Imagine going to a restaurant and being served up a poor meal and someone telling you, "ah, but the the head chef is oh holiday and the supplier deliver van broke down. Life is hard you know" - you'd not go back. To attract a crowd Bomber needs a decent line up but he's provided anyone who was not sure about going a great reason not to go. At one point I had a car full coming from Newport/Cardiff. It's now down to me and my 6 year old niece because the other didn't think the line-up was very appealing a few days ago, and now it's got worse.  I don't doubt Chris and his team have tried hard etc etc and circumstances have not helped but using you guys theory he should just put no the 6 junior races and charge £50 - after all, it's about celebrating Chris' career and commitment blah blah blah. It's not, it's about making as much money for Chris to celebrate his loyalty by having a big crowd.  Shame really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemini Posted March 25, 2015 Report Share Posted March 25, 2015 Well, if your 'car full' of friends are that fickle that they need the so called top riders before they are interested then tough. It's easy to sit behind a keyboard and moan about the line up but I bet it's been really hard for Chris to sort out. In fact he said at the last meeting that when he retires he definitely doesn't want to be on the promoting side. Stop being so bloody miserable. I dread to think what you're going to be like when you're old. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
