Modd Posted July 6, 2014 Report Share Posted July 6, 2014 Shadders you really don't deserve a speedway team to support. All you seem to do on her is moan and groan about Len, John, riders, food, drink, etc etc. I don't know who y ou are and I don't use this forum very much at all but all you seem to do is complain about everything. You obviously don't understand the mechanics of running a team and realise that the team has to score to be paid. If you are not scoring you are not earning.!!!!! Easy !. Do you think these lads go out on track and get low scores for the fun of it. Come on give them a break. Next meeting I would like to meet you and discuss a few issues with you personally. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tocha Posted July 6, 2014 Report Share Posted July 6, 2014 Mason Campton appears to ride for Glasgow Tigers on a regular basis. Mason Campton hasn't ridden for Glasgow since 2012. He remained in Australia for the whole of 2013, visa problem I expect, then signed by Workington at the beginning of this season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok, I'll be travelling to Peterborough, Scunthorpe, Berwick, Newcastle & Redcar. I'll be at all of those. I don't get paid travel expenses either (unleaded at around £1.30 a litre). See you there. *edit* and Plymouth. Can I just add that for most of these I'll be driving back to Hoddesdon and up for work at 5am Edited July 6, 2014 by Shadders 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What are you talking about - Shadders is a hardcore fan, he follows the Rockets across the country. He pays his admission fee - he is entitled to an opinion. All the best Rob 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tocha Posted July 6, 2014 Report Share Posted July 6, 2014 Unfortunately the sponsors have deserted the Rockets as well. Speaking of sponsors, Rye are the only club I have come across who have no heat sponsors. A few years ago there was Sally Thompson who sponsored heat one followed by 14 blank spaces. Since she pulled out that column in the programme has been removed altogether allowing more space to write heat times! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can also confirm that there was a sighting of Shadders at Sheffield on Thursday, he was stood with me and the rest of our usual crowd. He was here last year twice. And the year before that. And the year before that as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolute rubbish!!! A few weeks ago an away reserve scored a paid maximum (Stark) and hardly a world beater but shows that this team simply isn't strong enough - the one heat leader and 6 reserve experiment has failed miserably and now reaping the results now seen. - plus Tres disappearing every other week is a mind boggling signing by this promotion! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bandits4eva Posted July 6, 2014 Report Share Posted July 6, 2014 Shadders you really don't deserve a speedway team to support. It's people like you who truly p1$$ me off! My man is big enough to do his own thoughts... But in all honesty, I don't think his own team deserves to have someone like him... Despite countless beatings, he is there EVERY week and will bust a gut to travel to away meetings as often as he can... Getting back at god awful times when he's up for work at 5am and earlier.. I know cos I've done those god awful trips with him! You speak with him and I'm sure you will see what a true fan he actually is! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They do it for our entertainment how dare we criticize True fans will speak up good or bad because they care, not just tow the line.

Pay your money every week to watch rubbish but keep your mouth shut and be thankful!! They do it for our entertainment how dare we criticize Exactly... And despite my other half being a moaner, as some seem to think, no doubt we'll still be spending a hell of a lot of money following both our teams this season all over the country home & away... So people like Modd can go and do one IMO! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scaramanga Posted July 6, 2014 Report Share Posted July 6, 2014 the thing is the fans pay there entry fee and in return they expect to be entertained if the promotion are putting on a below standard product then they ask for all negativity that comes with it weak teams poor track no back up from food/drink stalls its all down to the promotion the fans cant turn it round if the promotion of any team dosnt want to do it any more then let someone else take over dont run it into the ground before letting someone else try and bring it back to life 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Modd im afraid your talking out your a*se with that posting, you proberly wont find a more dedicated fan in the country than Shadders, the amount of time and money he spends on following the rockets at home and around the country he is entitled to have his say about the promotion, the team and what there not achieving. If I was Len and co I would start listening to what the fans are saying or there could be a even more like me who got totally fed up and disillusioned with the crap teams and lame excuses that I gave up going all together a couple of years back. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spin king Posted July 6, 2014 Report Share Posted July 6, 2014 I remember just before the start of the season and guys that have taken over the club at Sheffield were asking for suggestions to make improvements or changes that the fans and what would get fans back to the speedway at a Supporters Club meeting. There were some good suggestions and ideas, but one of the new Promoters Peter Mole stood up and said " One of the ways to get fans back, is to put together a team that wins." Basically sums it up really, if the team does not win and keeps losing then you can expect the crowds to go down. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shadders Posted July 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2014 Well yesterday was my first ever visit to Rye House, and while as a Comets fan I obviously enjoyed the meeting the highlight of the day for me was the Rye House fans themselves. They are one of the friendliest bunch of supporters that I have ever had the good fortune to come across in the sport, at a time when they must have been feeling pretty low about the result (and as speedway fans we have all been there) many of them still found the time to come across to the Comets fans to shake hands, pass on their congratulations and offer a friendly word, a great gesture. Without wishing to sound condescending I just hope that things turn around for them since its clubs and supporters like this that make speedway such a great sport. Stick in guys your a credit to the sport and best wishes for the futureI remember the good old days of 2005 & 2007 when we used to take over 40 fans on our Northern tours and wallop some teams like you did yesterday. The group of Worky fans in front of us by thre start gate were having a great time. Word of advice, enjoy it while it lasts, cos you could end up like us!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Said that to Ash last night, "remember when we were those fans." I don't ask of us to win even, just put up a fight and show that the riders care about the racejacket.
