proud panther Posted March 23, 2016 Report Share Posted March 23, 2016 If riders like NJB are signed to stop the ridiculous amount of guests being used, it can only be good for the sport in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed , as long as any squad signing fits within the rules to suit all teams then no issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LagutaRacingFan Posted March 23, 2016 Report Share Posted March 23, 2016 As long as Lynn field a side under the points limit then that's surely all that matters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kelvinht Posted March 23, 2016 Report Share Posted March 23, 2016 Stars website carrying news of dale joining as CO promoter and mentioned behind the scenes issues this winter. You'd never have guessed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starboy118 Posted March 23, 2016 Report Share Posted March 23, 2016 Stars website carrying news of dale joining as CO promoter and mentioned behind the scenes issues this winter. You'd never have guessed! Presumably this means that possibly some promoting will now take place after a lengthy absence Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trees Posted March 24, 2016 Report Share Posted March 24, 2016 Stop with more negativity, let's see what Dale does first 😊 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
semion Posted March 24, 2016 Report Share Posted March 24, 2016 Totally agree with that statement Thank you Jonathan Stop with more negativity, let's see what Dale does first Not being negative Mrs C just happen to think Chapman Junior did a decent job, and has not been replaced. When he was involved he created a good atmosphere with some innovative ideas that worked. As for Dale, have no idea what he can bring to the party, but judging by the amount of column inches the Young Stars get in the Speedway Star he will need to step up his game.

Trees Posted March 24, 2016 Report Share Posted March 24, 2016 (edited) It's fans who create the atmosphere, if we stand there like dormice of course it will be bland! Have u ever been to a Polish League meeting or Cardiff? 😉 We need to stand up and show our support, shout n wave n hoot n whistle n chant (ala the Poles) ..... do you do any of that m8?

semion Posted March 24, 2016 Report Share Posted March 24, 2016 Polish Meeting no, did you enjoy it ? Cardiff... loads of time. Great Pre-meeting entertainment with a decent guy on mic getting people at it from the start. When JC was involved at Saddlebow, or whatever it is called this year, you got the Feel good factor as soon as you entered. Micman Mike Bennett was also good at his job. Same cant be said for last season or the season before with rent-a-gob on the Mic who hadn't a clue about the Sport or what he was even talking about. Kevin Moore is your Mr Steady on the mic, but he is no Bennett. For me atmosphere wise it is as flat as a Witches twit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trees Posted March 24, 2016 Report Share Posted March 24, 2016 (edited) So you need to be told when to cheer 😉 Come on man, stand with me or my mate Josey (80ish) 😆 Yeah of course they need to play good time, upbeat music, they need a totally bias, interesting, in tune with thefans/meeting, upbeat guy on the mic and the riders need to race and do their bit with the fans, simples 😉 Yeah I did but I noticed the atmosphere is ALL down to the fans, they organise themselves before they go to meetings, they have their mics and drums and banners and flags and they are gonna have a good time supporting THEIR TEAM. There are no interviews, nothing extra, just the many fans doing their thing ..... Edited March 24, 2016 by Trees Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now come on Semion evenyou must get excited when you get to the stadium and the tractors are still laying the track to the sound of banal "music" and not much else. Cheers your socks off at their formation grading for 30-60 minutes depending on what time you get there and even you will be all warmed up to cheer and shout at the riders whilst they do a couple of laps of the track with their arms at a 90 degree angle pretending to acknowledge you. When the meeting proper gets under way you can cheer and wave at the race winner and you never know if he's from the away team he might even wave back at you Edited March 24, 2016 by Star Lady Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speedway is supposed to be a PROFESSIONAL sport after all. Pre match entertainment of some kind, there must be local bands who would jump at the chance to perform publicly, for instance. The biggie is the riders, they need to realise they sure being paid to entertain the paying public for more than 4-5 one minute duration races. Wave to the kids as if they mean it, cknowledge the cheers and a few more might actually bother to cheer which would help the atmosphere you think the fans alone should provide. I could go on, but if speedway wants to be a professional sport and charge the prices they do, it has to start providing more than just 15 separate minutes of track action. It will not survive solely on people like yourself who are satisfied with what they provide now. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
