Daniel Smith Posted March 10, 2014 Report Share Posted March 10, 2014 I don't think its something that will ever get off the ground in this part of the world screamer, generally speaking Norfolk people are too laid back and stand-offish. Absolutely and it drives me nuts. Even when you Norwich fans burst out with 'On The Ball City' at a football match it couldn't sound more boring I'll make it happen one day, just got to find a plan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Pedaler Posted March 10, 2014 Report Share Posted March 10, 2014 I don't think its something that will ever get off the ground in this part of the world screamer, generally speaking Norfolk people are too laid back and stand-offish. And probably on average 20 years older than the typical Polish fan. Remember seeing the aged locals at Leicester looking on with disdain and disapproval at some travelling Polish fans at one of their meetings a couple of years back, and I keep hearing complaints about drunken Polish fans at Cardiff...how dare these people upset the quiet sedate life on the terraces with their rawkus, youthful, boisterous, vociferous and bawdy (oh,and did I mention alcohol fuelled?) support for their team? How dare they enjoy their night out? I'd expect that there will be similar complaints coming from the KL regulars too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
g13webb Posted March 11, 2014 Report Share Posted March 11, 2014 One of the most enjoyable meetings in recent years was when Poland came to Lynn for the WTC in 2012. The place was packed and the noise was terrific. Most coming from the Polish fans on the 1st and 2nd bends. If that could be rekindled on a regular basis I sure the crowds would flock back.... fantastic atmosphere..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember in the PL days when the club sold airhorns for about £3, the place was rocking. Almost everyone went home with smiles regardless of the result. A lot of people hate them but they do add to the atmosphere dramatically. For atmosphere away teams use to like coming but now it's as dull as dishwater Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
semion Posted March 11, 2014 Report Share Posted March 11, 2014 Nothing to do with massive home wins then Screamer, Just fans happy cos people were blowing off airhorns all night ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, quite a lot of these threads would talk about the atmosphere rather than the whitewashed scorelines or poor quality racing. The club use to put on theme nights etc also. Made a massive difference to the enjoyment of the evening. It wasn't purely based on what happened on track and somehow we need to get that back. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
semion Posted March 11, 2014 Report Share Posted March 11, 2014 I remember the theme nights, during the 6 weeks of the school Holidays, One of JC's ideas, what happened to him ? It was like he was abducted by Aliens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trees Posted March 13, 2014 Report Share Posted March 13, 2014 I think it only takes a noisy fan or two on each bend/straight to get the other quiet/embarrassed/too cool to shout (lol) fans to let themselves go! Having said that if our riders race a great race everyone gives them a cheer and so they should eh! So what we need is the riders/club/fans to work together in solidarity to make the nights special/to make our club as one!!! Well, that's what I think :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barrow boy Posted March 14, 2014 Report Share Posted March 14, 2014 Will the actual racing start at 7.00pm? I ask because it will be a bit tight for me to get there on time as I will not be able to set off from much before 4.45pm and it usually takes me 2 hours.

Shouldn`t think so as the live Polish TV programme doesn`t start until 7pm uk time(scheduled to finish at 9.30pm uk time) so I would think 1st race 7.15 at the earliest.

Speedball Posted March 14, 2014 Report Share Posted March 14, 2014 Don't think I've ever looked forward to a pre-season meeting so much as this one. Also great news on the SpeedwayGP site that they are already looking at making it bigger and better next year - http://www.speedwaygp.com/news/article/3178/stars-set-for-kings-lynn "King’s Lynn’s hotly-anticipated clash with Zielona Gora next Wednesday looks set to be the first of many International Pre-Season Cups at the Norfolk Arena." Two great teams, one of the world's best tracks and hopefully some Polish fans to inject some atmosphere into the occasion. To get all Screamer like - BRING IT ON 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
