Scunthorpe 2015


Recommended Posts

Has there been any representation from the clubs promotion at these meetings? Ie, Rob, Gail, Montie or Cookie?..... I haven't been to any of the meetings so I don't entirely know what's been discussed. I think it's important that the group and the promotion interact and help each other though. I guess any ideas or initiatives that come from the group will need to be agreed with the promotion?

Hi.. can i lead you all to our new facebook page......friends of scunthorpe speedway?,its just started up and would like as many people to like it as possible,feel free to post comments and suggestions, the outsider? could you post your theme tune selections on please? i think they would be a good idea,maybe then people could suggest their own, seeing ellis perks youtube promotion and "give me some loving" maybe he could use that and nike lunna use "new sensation"?

in relation to the meeting... no not many turned up im sorry to say, but hey, if they dont come that cant complain about new ideas eh?. the promotion get to read everything as minutes are taken and emailed to paul cook, to be honest our group is based around marketing the club , getting the word around,we arent involved in every part of the running,

so we have flyers printed to display in various workplaces or shop windows

a vehicle with a scunny speedway sign will drive around town to hopefull catch peoples eye

proper rider intros so fans can see who exactly rob is calling out(hopefull to a theme tune in my opinion), they may come out on a truck, do a lap then walk into the crowd and back to the pits.

our old announcer from the early tracks will be the roving mic, getting feedback from fans or promote ideas or inititives, two way interaction so to speak

as i mentioned, the facebook page

maybes are... kids and cone days... kids get a free icecream with an adult

loyalty card idea scrapped and an "all inclusive enrty fee"introduced. say for 18 pound you get .entry. a programme and a meal and a drink. i believe dog tracks do this?

a prominent scunny business man has said he would help us as we have done alot for the name of scunny, so we are going to ask for help in getting a display either in the town centre or just outside his shop, with bike and rider

looking at doing photo opportunities with a rider each meeting, maybe this is aimed at the kids? or the ardent fan?, each week one rider will be available,

the outsider?? u posted in wrong thread mate, u ended up in sheffield, press and practice is tonite at 6pm, please come over abd then pitch ya ideas to rob or cookie

Hey up NBT am useless; even repeating myself. Marked it error and post is below.

 

Here's gist of it

NBT all sounds positive stuff. Nike Lunna theme tune needs to be Fun Boy Three. "Lunatics Have Taken Over the Asylum" love it or hate it - its a gift that. You could give him INXS New Sensation which I had down for Perko. But Ellis clearly has his tune sorted "Gimme Some Lovin"- Steve Winwood definitely go with that its a cracking tune.

Got stuff on my IPod that is bang on for Speedway ..how about Go Go Go by Status Quo ? ..everyone will have their ideas even the riders themselves so not saying I am the guru on this. Happy to pitch my ideas to Bazza int box!.

Alan and Bob Ham were always enthusiastic for giving the riders a theme to identify them to the crowd; and it went down well at Odsal at the time. We should not be afraid of pumping up the volume a bit and choreographing race night.
Having said I would come over for the practice; we not going to make it; but will look at the Facebook page and perhaps the management can pick up from there.
#iITS NEARLY HERE!

we had music for tj and ryan and for the 5/1s, so cant see why not for everyone?i like the scorpion theme tune as thy are driving round , very dramatic, similar to when sheffield come out i think,i can see it being a party atmosphere and entertaining to the fans, gets em pumping. when rob says "number 1 is david howe" barry could play the theme tune as he gets off the truck, most of us want to get away from just turning up, watch speeedway then go home with nothing to entertain, the die hard fans dont mind, its keeping new ones or the frequent supporters happy,sorry u cant make it, but please suggest it on out page,trust me, the right people will see it

For any scunny fans that are interested Nike Lunna will be riding in theo pijpers testimonial on Friday at Armadale in place of Adam roynon . Could be an interesting watch as his all action style might not be best suited to the Armadale track

Why not? Is it a trick track? :cheers:

May i take the pleasure on replying on Mr Bs behalf yes to trick & yes to track so from that analysis i would say that it is most definitely a trick track.

Trick track! i prefer to class it as a track were a little bit of throttle control is required. It is also a track of champions. :D
