A ORLOV Posted October 8, 2014 Report Share Posted October 8, 2014 Just what did you have to explain? I swear speedway fans love going up to people and going, "you know speedway, it's rubbish. Heres why...." just tell her it's the play-off semi-final. If she's not all that into her speedway she probably won't even realise that Garrity and Harris are riding for different teams. Or both riding for Coventry who are not even there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foreverblue Posted October 8, 2014 Report Share Posted October 8, 2014 The whole thing has turned into one big Joke !!!!!! Who gives a damn who wins anymore......... Sure as hell I don't. And the WINNER of the Elite League 2014 is a Poole/ Swindon / Coventry / Kings Lynn Select Team (Perm any 7 riders from 20) I would suggest quite a few give a damn, otherwise why are so many getting worked up about who wins and. there will be plenty at poole tomorrow hoping their team win Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike1944 Posted October 8, 2014 Report Share Posted October 8, 2014 (edited) Could Tai guest for Poole AND King's Lynn on Thursday night? Edited October 8, 2014 by mike1944 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Smith Posted October 8, 2014 Report Share Posted October 8, 2014 Kings lynn have the best guest, Harris is a track specialist and flies at poole. So good, this season he's scored 9 points 2 meeting's for Coventry at Poole. His last guest appearance for us was a joke so we'll have to wait and see 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She would have realised especially Harris cuz he looks like one of my brothers!I'm not a speedway moaner btw and I still attend regular at the wood and monmore and try to get to other tracks although not as much this year because I've found the guest situation a bit of a farce.read one of your posts and you said you only attend now and again,why's that?genuine question not a dig Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panthers89 Posted October 8, 2014 Report Share Posted October 8, 2014 Fair play to Lynn, better guests were available, and they have taken the chance to get them in, end of the day, its what winners would do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LagutaRacingFan Posted October 8, 2014 Report Share Posted October 8, 2014 Fair play to Lynn, better guests were available, and they have taken the chance to get them in, end of the day, its what winners would do. Lynn have this win at all costs mentality so I'm hoping Poole win this meeting for the betterment of speedway in this country. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevebrum Posted October 8, 2014 Report Share Posted October 8, 2014 I'm sure it won't because of who posted it Are people still replying to it?? Think everyone knows the old joke and don't bother responding to a multi troll. Although it wouldn't surprise me if some still do however.

tellboy Posted October 8, 2014 Report Share Posted October 8, 2014 Well the problem is it runs to long now, way into October, and then you are always in danger with the Weather, but this is a Debate thats going to run and run. Have you been going long.I've always remembered speedway going right up to the end of October.You make it sound like it's only a recent thing. The seasons have in recent years been shortened,not lengthened at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeing my club screwed over. But I got past it and went along that season. Even after moving back to Cardiff and being 100+ I went a few times but then we had the Kildemand/text/Morris in police custardy with Fords prize asset so he knew he wasn't available saga in the August of 2011 and Ive barely been since. Probably 6 or 7 meetings. Too much crap surrounding the sport and most of it comes from one club. Still watch on Sky every Monday and every other Saturday and even the odd Swedish meeting (doesn't quite work for me in the same way though - I have no thoughts on any Swedish team). The basic concept of 4 riders, 4 laps, 15 times is still as great as ever but I just fear as a sport it's not a level playing field Good -to know that someone new did find it interesting enough to want to return. There's still nothing wrong with calling the postponement on Monday a farce. I'm not interested in conspiracy theories - they are just a fun distraction. However, there have to be questions asked why British speedway can't have a consistent, planned approach to prepare itself for meetings - at the very least major meetings - including covers and the provision of the necessary materials and equipment. The sports that are succeeding and making money are those with a professional approach. Dont get me wrong, I agree with that (see above) but I'm not sure whats going on in the play-offs is quite farce. Bordering on pathetic but farce is a bit too far. On this one I do just think Poole messed up - and I'm happy to mock them for that. But I don't think they have tried to do anything and I think fartce is far too strong. This kind of thing happens in all sports and it happens at all levels of our sport in all countries. Want a farce? In Sweden a club pulled out of the play-offs. Or last season in Poland a team refused to ride in the play-off final. The sport has issues. I just don't think those currently taking place are them if I'm honest.
