vialli Posted June 1, 2015 Report Share Posted June 1, 2015 What happened to " rider safety is paramount", what happened to the paying customer ? F##k em', as long as we get a result, that's all that matters. Well done Sky, our heroes. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starman2006 Posted June 1, 2015 Report Share Posted June 1, 2015 (edited) Good to see Garrity is just as erratic as ever and still trying to jump every start. Congratulations Poole who made the best of a bad situation and were the better team on the night. Garrity was so desperate for points he even looks for Kyle then take's his own man out. Selfish isn't a name i would call him. Edited June 1, 2015 by Starman2006 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robert72 Posted June 1, 2015 Report Share Posted June 1, 2015 If they had listened to me I said before the meeting even got under way that it was very windy here in south derbysgire with the rain poring down. They sarted the meeting and after heat 1 the rain started the track looked rubbish to start with. The start line like a ploughed field. if they managed to get a start with spinning wheels, they found that there was no grip, on the track. How any rider didn't get seriously hurt tonight is a wonder. The meeting should have been cancelled after about heat 7 or 8. I feel sorry for the fans that even bothered to turn up. The camearas tried their best not to show the crowds, that must have all of 150 of them. The Coventry mangement must be well out of pocket tonight. To have this meeting on TV which must surely be rated as the worst speedway meeting to be show, does very little for the sport. When are the powers that be going to come to their senses. That running a meeting in conditions that we had tonight, are damgerous and a libilty to the riders. I am not a supporter of either team. But running a meeting in these conditions is doing nothing what so ever for speedway. It is no wonder that on a night like this only a hand full of fans went. Mainly because they thought the meeting would be called off. Sorry Sky but you really screwed up with this one. I think the ice cream man was out out pocket Be interesting to hear the views of someone who paid to watch that one tonight, it was a disgrace.

mdmc82 Posted June 1, 2015 Report Share Posted June 1, 2015 Good post and after watching that farce 100% correct. 👍🏻 I don't know about you but we had to go slowly driving back in it as was hammering against window and low visibility. God knows how riders were expected to go round with no brakes at high speed in that 😞 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Windy Posted June 1, 2015 Report Share Posted June 1, 2015 Having watched this on TV , i feel sorry for the fans of both teams that paid their entrance fee. The sport i have loved for forty two years is killing itself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheSmiler Posted June 1, 2015 Report Share Posted June 1, 2015 (edited) If there was ever an example of why the majority of speedway fans are of the older generation that is it. An absolute farce. We have had so many riders seriously injured already this season and you get ridiculous events like this The sport does itself absolutely no favours and yet again the fans are seen as peasants that hand them money. Leaving them in the unknown until the last minute as per usual. Has everyone forgotten how we've lost Oxford, Birmingham, Eastbourne and possibly Lakeside next year due to poor attendance and costs not being able to be met. Supporters are dwindling and will continue to do so. Speedway in the UK is dying out, fast. Edited June 1, 2015 by Adam Vickers 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruckerroo Posted June 1, 2015 Report Share Posted June 1, 2015 This so called elite league has sold its soul and its ass to Sky TV , way too many TV meetings get started with no consequence to them actually getting completed, the 10 heat bullrubbish should be scrapped immediately as its a, giving the paying punter a raw deal and b, forcing meetings to start when essentially they shouldn't due to unnecessary pressure from the sky mob 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post 65Sarge Posted June 1, 2015 Popular Post Report Share Posted June 1, 2015 (edited) My thoughts as a neutral having watched it. 1. The meeting should not have started 2. The officials need to grow a pair 3. Sky have a lot to answer for 4. Poole gave a committed professional display 5. A few posters for some strange reason are blaming Poole? 6. Havvy should not be in management 7. For the 2nd week running I have come to the conclusion Jason Garritty is an accident waiting to happen 8. Speedway is the loser tonight Edited June 1, 2015 by 65Sarge 17 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weatherwatcher Posted June 1, 2015 Report Share Posted June 1, 2015 Don't think they would have even let the greyhounds out on the track in these conditions. Something needs to be done in the sport and those that run it need to stand up and be counted. They should listen to what is being said to them instead of trying to please Sky and get the meeting run to heat 10. It's the poor fans I fell soory for paying £18 and having to stand and watch tripe like this, and not get one peeny back because they called the meeting at heat 10. Totally wrong, should have been called off well before all money refunded and the meeting re schedualed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Panda Posted June 1, 2015 Report Share Posted June 1, 2015 The fact is bud is that bw is right! Poole = cancer of speedway! Clearly someone who does not know what they are talking about................ Personally I think it should have been pulled when Garrity decided to take out King and Newman................Garrity is a liability on a bike............and at times downright dangerous not just to others but to himself.................... Harris did want to ride the last heat you could tell by his body language and the gestures he made at the cameras after it was run............Havvy really needs to stop throwing his toys out of the pram..............its not going to do him or the team any good.............. Overall as others have said it may have been a victory for Poole but it certainly did not taste sweet............. RP My thoughts as a neutral having watched it. 1. The meeting should not have started 2. The officials need to grow a pair 3. Sky have a lot to answer for 4. Poole gave a committed professional display 5. A few posters for some strange reason are blaming Poole? 6. Havvy should not be in management 7. For the 2nd week running I have come to the conclusion Jason Garritty is an accident waiting to happen 8. Speedway is the loser tonight Spot on.................

Daniel Smith Posted June 1, 2015 Report Share Posted June 1, 2015 Garrity was so desperate for points he even looks for Kyle then take's his own man out. Shelfish isn't a name i would call him. I think Garrity is throttle jockey nutcase. Ben Barker Mark II. My opinion hasn't changed that he's a danger to others. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruno Posted June 1, 2015 Report Share Posted June 1, 2015 I reckon bomber would have gone out but I reckon havvy was right to not let him. Chris would ride in anything I guess but maybe it's best if the decision is taken out of some riders hands Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
