Siggytastic Posted July 1, 2016 Report Share Posted July 1, 2016 (edited) You can keep the Elite League in its current format. Look at the team Poole has out tonight. Sorry to quote my own post but they still won. Edited July 2, 2016 by Siggytastic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reviresco Posted July 2, 2016 Report Share Posted July 2, 2016 hi guys. Apparently there is a speedway fixture at Foxhall Heath this Thursday? Is that correct or am I imagining it? And it is a local derby against Rye House too, with a couple of ex Ipswich riders in the line up and the league's top rider and best reserve rider in their line up. Should mean a decent turn out and meeting if the weather allows. I see you have been mulling over different scenarios for next and the following seasons. I would've thought that one thing that has come out of this year is that a consistent Thursday night race night is a must. Speedway is more of an habitual sport than many others in my opinion. Can I ask, if you guys, the Ipswich Witches 2016 BSF Massif had three things that they would want to see from your speedway club next season, what would those three things be? I might go for: 1) Regular Weekly Race Nights; 2) Track shape and preparation that allows for close exciting racing; 3) A decent lighting and PA system, combined with fan involvement (maybe a nominated fan sitting on the "board" of the club). Thanks. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
screm Posted July 2, 2016 Report Share Posted July 2, 2016 You can keep the Elite League in its current format. Look at the team Poole has out tonight. That`ll be the Poole team that won at Lakeside, what does that say about our top league. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks. Hoping to get along to foxholes on Thursday. Seems a long time since my last visit. I would agree with all your points macca and with a preference for Thursday nights. And to learn from some of the great marketing and presentation things as shown by the Weegies on telly on Wednesday. Foxholes is dead at the moment and needs brought to life. Oh and for the team to stay in the same league / division as monarchs so that I can see us ** you again! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed totally about the great marketing and presentation by Glasgow. Hopefully, if there is a new promotion at Foxhall next season - as seems v likely apparently (no names mentioned), they will employ a decent marketing / promotion person as part of their "management team" - or whatever it ends up being called.

ZODIAK Posted July 2, 2016 Report Share Posted July 2, 2016 Well if there is to be a new promotion, I have it on good authority that it WON'T be Guy Nicholls. Next.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Next.. so the 'done deal' hasn't been done after all. I have heard of 2 other interested parties but have no solid info as to how true or feasible they are.....

Reviresco Posted July 2, 2016 Report Share Posted July 2, 2016 I've heard something similar, three separate interested parties, one very local and with past attachments to Foxhall and two very different parties. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baldyman Posted July 2, 2016 Report Share Posted July 2, 2016 (edited) What I don't quite understand is., if the club was up for sale, wouldn't it be best if it was said it was. You wouldn't sell your house without advertising it, so it's then got its biggest audience. Some say nicholls is interested and some say he isn't. Someone somewhere has obviously got some bull shat they are telling others. As for next year I would like to see new fans faces. New ways to attract those fans and incentives to keep the ones that are already there whilst always attracting new ones. To put on a whole evenings entertainemt that people will want to keep coming back to watch time after time.

dontforgetthefueltapsbruv Posted July 2, 2016 Report Share Posted July 2, 2016 Perhaps we should put together a BSF consortium. I have about £5 spare so I'm up for a 10% stake! wink 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TB1 Posted July 2, 2016 Report Share Posted July 2, 2016 Just back on the team changes, whilst I think most agree they are welcome, unfortunately at the start or before the season we should have thrown water on the flames of concern. Now we are fire fighting the leftover ashes. For the rest of this season I will hope to enjoy what's left and hopefully look forward to big changes next year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sold two shops but I advertised away as I did not want the staff or customers to know until it actually happened. Otherwise I might have lost staff or customers might go elsewhere. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2ndbendbeerhut Posted July 2, 2016 Report Share Posted July 2, 2016 (edited) Hmmm only 3 things Macca? OK then I'll have... 1. Blueballs 2. Monkey nuts 3.

And a "boring zone" for fans that want to knit instead of talk Edited July 2, 2016 by 2ndbendbeerhut 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks. Only 3 things ??? I would like to see many many changes at foxhall certainly after see the brilliant hype of Glasgow Wednesday. 1. A change of promotion. 2. A change of league this premier has become boring to the extreme. 3. A well advertised meeting. 4. A team with character like the days of "cowboy Cook" 5. Meetings all hyped up like Glasgows. 6. A track made more raceable with different lines for passing. A track that does not lose all its dirt after 5 or 6 races. 7. A longer programme with a meaningful second half. 8. A race jacket with the Ipswich Witches clear to see plus a large Witch. 9. Try the possibility of allowing the horns to be used again creating atmosphere. 10. Put the programme back into the admission price and get a new sound system. I could go on the list is endless as so many things are wrong now.

LagutaRacingFan Posted July 2, 2016 Report Share Posted July 2, 2016 I did warn Ipswich at the start of the season that their side is bang average and I've been proved right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldyman Posted July 2, 2016 Report Share Posted July 2, 2016 Are you sure? Cos we have been worse than bang average. That's all about to change though. See ya in the play offs 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
