Fozzie4388 Posted September 16, 2014 Report Share Posted September 16, 2014 1pm would be a lot better start time They only started at 1pm for the restaging because Newcastle had a fixture later in the evening up at Brough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulco Posted September 17, 2014 Report Share Posted September 17, 2014 Why is the start time 5pm is there a reason for this late start time ? 2pm would be much better for traveling supporters Erm , most of the travelling supporters are still in the New Barrack Tavern at 2p.m. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bagpuss Posted September 17, 2014 Report Share Posted September 17, 2014 Yet more riders taking the pi55 out of British speedway!!!! Where's all the ' they do it for our entertainment ' happy clappers when you need them?? And goes to show that speedways problems aren't confined to the EL! Money will always talk unfortunately.

jenga Posted September 17, 2014 Report Share Posted September 17, 2014 thought olly would be as he stated during a meeting not that long ago that he could make THREE TIMES the amount of money riding in poland than riding in the uk. if thats the case olly. try putting a full season in poland next year and give the 2015 uk season a miss.thats if you are good enough. british speedway will never survive as its going now. fans need to stick 2 fingers up at the sport for a while and see how the riders like it having their bubble burst.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they brought juniors in to replace them, it would be a substandard product though, surely? Fans would then 'vote with their feet' even more.

Fans would then 'vote with their feet' even more. it would be,but at least you know what you are going to pay to watch.Maybe it would highlight the facts to the BSPA and they would rectify the situation .I have always said you cannot predict what a speedway will turn out like entertainment wise ,the sport needs a major overhaul and it has to start soon.Too many riders just taking Britain and it's fans for a ride.We are not all mugs as the dwindling attendances are showing,I admit that for the first time this season I have missed matches because missing riders ect.

Shadders Posted September 17, 2014 Report Share Posted September 17, 2014 (edited) The whole things a piss take. Riders pulling out & stadium owners banning food and drink being bought in. If I wasn't coming up to bring B4e back daaan saaf I wouldn't bother going. I've very little interest in individual speedway, like some of the riders it seems Edited September 17, 2014 by Shads 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skoobie Posted September 17, 2014 Report Share Posted September 17, 2014 This sport is an absolute piss take! I only wish I'd known these riders would pull out before I pay my deposit & committed to the bus. I'm sad to say this but after all the going's on this season I'm afraid I feel ready for walking away from speedway. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldtimer Posted September 17, 2014 Report Share Posted September 17, 2014 Ban them all. Could not agree more, what a farce British speedway is, it would be great if there was an empty stadium on Sunday, but unfortunately people will still turn up even when they are treated like idiots.

cityrebel Posted September 17, 2014 Report Share Posted September 17, 2014 British speedway really looks beyond help. This season must rank as the worst in the post 1965 BL era. With a new national stadium on the horizon, the sport will be receiving its last rites by the time it is built. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
screm Posted September 17, 2014 Report Share Posted September 17, 2014 Its not to many moons ago that being PLRC or NLRC as it once was was a meeting every rider wanted to be in, and wanted to win even more. Thanks to the likes of Tungate, Allen and Vissing, and maybe one or two more before tapes up on Sunday, this meeting on Sunday is getting more of a second class status as time goes by.

Whisperer Posted September 17, 2014 Report Share Posted September 17, 2014 It's ever so simple, those clubs who do not commit their riders to national shared events do not receive a penny shareout from any event and face a mandatory scale fine for each rider. For example no shareout and £3,000 fine qed 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cityrebel Posted September 17, 2014 Report Share Posted September 17, 2014 The PLRC should be a compulsory event and those riders not attending should receive a ban. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arson fire Posted September 17, 2014 Report Share Posted September 17, 2014 The whole things a piss take. Riders pulling out & stadium owners banning food and drink bring bought in. If I wasn't coming up to bring B4e back daaan south I wouldn't bother going. I've very little interest in individual speedway, like some of the riders it seems I'm not going this year, the past few years the organization has been pi55 poor, the egagerated waiting for the rain off, the state of the track the year before, the diluted field, the checking of bags like you are some sort of suicide bomber, and mainly the little jumped up hitlers treating the paying public like sh!t. The fours and pairs are a different class to attend, usually value for money and a good day/night out...the Plrc is usually not. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the bag searching that's really hacked me off. Id usually spend a bit in the snack bar, the chicken wraps are pretty good, but I won't be spending a penny on any food or drink inside the stadium, because of the greedy stadium owners Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
