Shale Searcher Posted June 26, 2014 Report Share Posted June 26, 2014 Hemsley would have to pay me a tenner to come along when I can watch it for free at home. You know what Robert72, you can be really rude sometimes, also, it's NOT free at home, unless you are stealing someone's Sky Sports.. or you're using one of the tramps links on the interweb!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why am I rude when I am just being honest. Â If hemsley put his ego away & gave punters like me value for money then I would want to go even if it was on tv. Â Do you not understand that he is killing the sport in Leicester Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Â Perhaps he is sick of people constantly bickering at him about the track, i know i would be. As i have said be very careful what you wish for. Same goes at Birmingham - if you want to stay away as a protest do so. But don't whine if the option to pull racing at either track is permanently pulled because people don't support it.

Well mr searcher, it clearly seems you are related or in love with the guy as you defend him yet don't see his refusal to change the track as damaging to the sport. Explain the large crowds that go then. It's clear you didn't go the first season then   Perhaps he is sick of people constantly bickering at him about the track, i know i would be. If it was my business and I had the amount of unhappy customers he has got I would do something to make those customers happy and hope it would bring the customers who no longer support my business back again.

Gemini Posted June 27, 2014 Report Share Posted June 27, 2014 Okay Steve...I'll take you up on that. How many times have you been to Beaumont Park and which matches? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justathought Posted June 27, 2014 Report Share Posted June 27, 2014 I think going to a speedway meeting is not always just about the quality of racing that is produced on the night. Other factors can come into play. If you have been going to a track for a period of time you generally start to mix with other supporters and make friends. The conversations that you have, usually about speedway, the banter and just being with like minded people can help with the enjoyment factor. Â But...........having decent racing as well is even better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemini Posted June 27, 2014 Report Share Posted June 27, 2014 Â If you have been going to a track for a period of time you generally start to mix with other supporters and make friends. Â Â True. That's how I became a Bees fan after supporting the visiting teams for about three years from 1984. It's shocking to think now that I probably even supported Poole at Brandon.

jim the whipper Posted June 27, 2014 Report Share Posted June 27, 2014 Well the Cat is out of the bag now , the something special is .......................................................................... wait for it ..............................................., Ever the one for innovation, Dave Hemsley has come up with another world beating fresh idea for those who dont want to sit in the comfort of their own home or the even the local pub to watch 15 processional races , pretty sure this is just the sort of radical thinking to revive flagging interest in Elite league speedway you would never have guessed , Rocket powered bikes , celebrity guests , and a man diving 60 feet into a teacup full of water during the interval ., Nah sorry that was the domain of real promoters and belongs back in the twenties , Davids more 21st century approach is to reduce admission prices . wow I can see them flocking in . I hope advanced ticket sales are available because I dont want to be dissapointed when I cant get in , Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveLyric2 Posted June 27, 2014 Report Share Posted June 27, 2014 Good article on the BSPA 'Friday Feature' slot with Mr Hemsley - should get all the fans going!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrcts Posted June 27, 2014 Report Share Posted June 27, 2014 (edited) Explain the large crowds that go then.getting smaller by the week,when I think of all the supporters we have lost and the rate the crowds are going down I fear for the long term future.....the crowd against Swindon was well down on previous meetings.....no more than the Premier last season.

BTFC LION Posted June 27, 2014 Report Share Posted June 27, 2014 Yes and the one to close it because he no longer has enough fans left to make it pay. Could you explain how you come to the conclusion that there are not enough fans to make it pay?? In your opinion how many would make it viable as a business, how many fans would you need to attend to make a profit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may enjoy it although I doubt it You really are unpleasant and there is no need for you to butt in with yet another nasty comment. I know Steve and he never misses the chance to respond so I thought it was strange he'd been on line but ignored my question, which was quite a reasonable one asking how many times he'd been to Leicester and which matches. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
