lucifer sam Posted September 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2014 No I'm not defending them - I said that I know it's not a good thing to do. But, I also undertsand that frustration that people feel, and that we all react differently. If you're genuinely unhappy, complain to Chris Louis - there's absolutely no point moaning on here. I'm not unhappy about it - it just deserved comment on it. That's kind-of what a forum is for. All the best Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seanmuffe Posted September 30, 2014 Report Share Posted September 30, 2014 That's a well over the top reaction - there are a few fans at every track who react negatively. I know it's not good to boo a rider who's fallen off, but you can see the frustration after Klindt was "rolling" (it's not as if he hasn't got a reputation). Anyway, I'm sure there are one or two Scunthorpe fans who blight the sports good name - they might even get a chance tonight when a Rabble does something they don't like - especially if the Scorps are losing. With fondest regards, Dave True including the EWR amazingly I know that the presentations on the back straight and the crown of the first/second bend were abandoned because there was no reaction from the crowds. Personally, I think lining up riders like that is incredibly outmoded, and at a wide open arena such as Foxhall is even less useful. The PA is definitely patchy, but it also suffers from a lot of the sound being lost in the wide open spaces. Poor old "All the best Rob" must have found the worst possible place to stand, what a shame no it wasn't he could have been standing next to me Local rag report of the meeting via this link: http://www.lovespeedway24.co.uk/teams/ipswich-witches So you're defending cheering when a rider suffers a huge and alarming crash - and even worse, booing when he gets to his feet - simply because he moved at the start a bit. And yet you've got Rohan Tungate in your team, a guy who never stays still at the tapes. Pot, kettle and black. Cheers Mr Love - it means a lot. All the very best Rob You will do very well to find no rollers, no lets stay down for a rerun brigade , bad fans ,promoters ,announcers ........sadly they are evident everywhere but the saving graces is most fans are genuine despite being loyal to their team. Come on you two return to your lovey dovey ways and kiss and make up. With Due Regard to both of you.........................did he ride for Eastbourne?

It was just a post-meeting forum discussion, nothing more. It's ages since I bumped into Mr Love (used to a fair amount when Oxford fans used to stand on the back straight). As for Klindt, I don't think he has ridden for Eastbourne (maybe as a guest at some point). His British clubs (may have missed one or two) have been Wolves, King's Lynn, Peterborough, Scunny, Swindon and Leicester.

lucifer sam Posted September 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2014 To try to be fair to both Klundt and Tungate (who does seem to tempt the tapes), it's clear that the ref didn't help at all. Chris Gay is not the most popular, which is definitely saying something! Aha, now that's something we can agree on. Yup the ref didn't get control of the starts at all last Thursday. Several races had ragged starts. All the best Rob (still trying to work out how signing a message is condescending, when it's actually general politeness - oh well, takes all sorts...)

2ndbendbeerhut Posted September 30, 2014 Report Share Posted September 30, 2014 With the large stands at Foxhall would it be possible to move the start line to the back straight? Eg like Vargarna in Sweden did. Just an idea. ..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bash Posted September 30, 2014 Report Share Posted September 30, 2014 You would have to move the refs box as well to the back straight, but I thought they were rebuilding the home straight stand anyway so the start line wouldn't need to be moved.

tyretrax Posted October 1, 2014 Report Share Posted October 1, 2014 Sorry to go off topic here but this is the first page that I have been able to access. Could one of the Mods please sort out the Forum, on the majority of pages I only get a "DRIVER ERROR" message. Thanks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lucifer sam Posted October 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2014 (edited) Calling Ipswich fans the worst in the league, and then saying "All the best" is somewhat condescending. One signature does not fit all (and any signature is actually uneccessary in this type of forum). Who died and made you god? If I want to sign my posts, I'll sign my posts. All the very bestest and with fondest love, Rob xxxxx Edited October 3, 2014 by lucifer sam 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
