Baldyman Posted March 15, 2016 Report Share Posted March 15, 2016 I think Chris thinks people are unhappy with the colour of suits, but it's not the case, it's just that the colours don't match on everyone's. There is also a bit on the teams Facebook page where our new sponsor is also wondering why people are moaning about the suits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZODIAK Posted March 15, 2016 Report Share Posted March 15, 2016 (edited) The point has been made that the colours were made this year with the new sponsor in mind, fair enough. But I actually think the sponsor name on the suits actually blends in and pretty much disappears! It would have stood out much more IMO if the tippers "R" Us logo was on a different colour, lighter background. White for example. I like the colour and design to be honest. Yes there are two different shades of yellow but no big deal. Edited March 15, 2016 by Hong Kong Phooey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldyman Posted March 15, 2016 Report Share Posted March 15, 2016 I think I've said it already but I also like the yellow suits and the greenish colour ones, it's just a shame that they are not all one of those. Obviously it would look far more professional to. Some teams don't have any type of matching suits so I guess it doesn't matter that much. Hopefully our riders will be easier to spot under the dull lighting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheScotsman Posted March 16, 2016 Report Share Posted March 16, 2016 So the lighting will still be bad this year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldyman Posted March 16, 2016 Report Share Posted March 16, 2016 (edited) It's gonna be bad every year until they are upgraded. Shame we ain't also sponsored by bright new lights r us. Maybe everyone should shine their phone lights at the track. Edited March 16, 2016 by baldyman 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZODIAK Posted March 16, 2016 Report Share Posted March 16, 2016 Think some of you need to get to specsavers! I can honestly say I've never sat at Foxhall and thought "I wish there was better lighting as I'm struggling to see".. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldyman Posted March 16, 2016 Report Share Posted March 16, 2016 Where do you sit/stand? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheScotsman Posted March 16, 2016 Report Share Posted March 16, 2016 Shame about that. It's the main thing that spoils it for me. Though I prefer lighter colour shale with fewer bumps but that's a personal preference! Can't be ar*ed travelling to Peterborough this year so will probably have to do some extra stints at Ippo and Rye. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZODIAK Posted March 16, 2016 Report Share Posted March 16, 2016 (edited) Hand on heart it's never once crossed my mind, I can see everything just fine. The speakers on the other hand! I stand just in front of the Garden Bar baldy. Edited March 16, 2016 by Hong Kong Phooey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheScotsman Posted March 16, 2016 Report Share Posted March 16, 2016 Where do you sit/stand? Tried a few places - even the 4th bend! Most often in the new sitting bit, between the 2nd bend and a point opposite the start. You? Might look on eBay for some second hand night vision glasses!

Baldyman Posted March 16, 2016 Report Share Posted March 16, 2016 (edited) It's not as bad as I'm making out but the corners do look a bit gloomy from where I sit, but maybe again it's because I sit further away from the track than I ever have done. And yes the speakers are poor if non existent where I sit. Having said that, at King's Lynn on Saturday, couldn't hear much there either. I sit in the back straight stand exactly in line with the start. Literally the last row of seats in that stand.

TheScotsman Posted March 16, 2016 Report Share Posted March 16, 2016 I stood at the side of that seating area a couple of years ago when we walloped you in the league cup. We were nearly killed by the Ippo fans charging to the exits after heat 13!! So where do you sit baldyman? Right at the top? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldyman Posted March 16, 2016 Report Share Posted March 16, 2016 (edited) That's not me, I always stay to the end however bad it's going. No I sit about about 7 or 8 rows back, there is normally a little group of us all on our own lol Edited March 16, 2016 by baldyman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZODIAK Posted March 16, 2016 Report Share Posted March 16, 2016 I've a feeling you won't be doing any walloping anywhere this season Scotsman 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pob Posted March 16, 2016 Report Share Posted March 16, 2016 Scotsman you planning on coming and saying hi ? , can also be found at same place as Baldy . Lights are ok not the greatest but that's what you get when they are set up for the stock car track but then again they are the owners and can do what they like . The sound on the over hand , many of us have said a comment or two about it in the past Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheScotsman Posted March 16, 2016 Report Share Posted March 16, 2016 I've a feeling you won't be doing any walloping anywhere this season Scotsman We'll see! But to be honest I could do with a more restful season to recover from the stresses of the last 2. Scotsman you planning on coming and saying hi ? , can also be found at same place as Baldy . Lights are ok not the greatest but that's what you get when they are set up for the stock car track but then again they are the owners and can do what they like . The sound on the over hand , many of us have said a comment or two about it in the past Yeah might do. I'm thinking about going along on Thursday to give Auty some support - no wait, Tungate isn't around any more! But I could still give scunny a shout! I'll wait to see if the weather is acceptable and if it is I'll probably be there so can try to catch up with you guys. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Blue Posted March 16, 2016 Report Share Posted March 16, 2016 There is a definitely small but growing band of forum members gathering in the same location as the Bald wise one in the back straight stand. Would be interesting to meet other members who maybe we've crossed swords with online. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
