damosuzuki Posted May 4, 2016 Report Share Posted May 4, 2016 In the good news - I brought along two people the other week. One has been back twice since, and the other hasn't but is organising a day out to the speedway with five friends. It's like anything else though. Basketball looks deadly boring to me but I'm sure if you went to a few games you'd start to understand the intricacies and enjoy it a lot more. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joseq7 Posted May 4, 2016 Report Share Posted May 4, 2016 Agree with speed ace about using meeting threads for another subject, but when someone else raised the point I wasn't going to start a new thread. It does annoy me when a thread goes off in a completely different tangent. Oops maybe I should have posted that in the "What annoys me" thread. Fair enough, I certainly concede I was arguing on probably the incorrect thread but I am very concerned about pricing. I believe Glasgow are charging too much and that it may IMO be a fundamental flaw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Positive Thinker Posted May 4, 2016 Report Share Posted May 4, 2016 The pricing is stiffer than most tracks, but the ambience is better. What needs to be addressed is the back straight viewing. No point in increasing crowd if the newbies can't see, because they won't be back. A serious flaw in the grand plan? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How about just standing somewhere else, fourth bend is decent viewing and not always packed out. Second bend between pits gate and phone mast is also good. If in any doubt where to stand ask one of the locals in red and white. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joseq7 Posted May 4, 2016 Report Share Posted May 4, 2016 Good point. 4th bend covered area had plenty space on Sunday. 4th bend covered is where I stand now. My traditional (and still preferred, in terms of viewing) berth was the left hand side of the enclosure but it's too busy for me to be comfy now.

bruno Posted May 4, 2016 Report Share Posted May 4, 2016 I think there's some of us coming up on the 29th so 4th bend it is. Don't worry we're the friendly heathens , one of us even carries a tigger the bear around with him 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now the fourth will be mobbed and other people can stand on back straight and see. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joseq7 Posted May 9, 2016 Report Share Posted May 9, 2016 A bargain Adult entry £10 to get in local derby Coventry vs Wolves in the EL this evening. Imagine getting in to speedway for that cheap. Hopefully it's rammed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highroad119 Posted May 10, 2016 Report Share Posted May 10, 2016 (edited) thankfully I missed sundays rout, but regarding the track, has there not been more passing(from both teams) already this season than all of last season put together. my big worry was the number of riders careering into THAT air fence panel every week. entertainments been spot on so far. (almost) no complaints from me. Edited May 10, 2016 by highroad119 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
damosuzuki Posted May 11, 2016 Report Share Posted May 11, 2016 True, but Sunday was a bit strange in that they didn't water hardly at all during the match, because they'd left it dry before it started .... so tbh it wasn't the best. Bit grippy but then again I don't think there would have been much difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bit grippy but then again I don't think there would have been much difference. Am not quite sure what you are saying they absolutely soaked the ttrack the day before and before the racing. it was a bit heavy on turns 3 and 4 but the times were fast and some races were competitive especially when they made the gate and the Summers pass was unbelievable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Blobby Posted May 12, 2016 Report Share Posted May 12, 2016 (edited) Should of shown a derby at Ashfield last year would of been a far more competitive than this year as Glasgow will win convincingly. But that's what Nigel and kelvin want to see though. Edited May 12, 2016 by Mr Blobby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah,the Monarchs will be well into things by then and will be well up for it, once Clegg and Bewley transfer their NL form to the premier, this could give Glasgow one of their toughest tests at home. Think it will be a cracker, especially if the monarchs fans turn up in large numbers to create a good atmosphere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope blobby and co keep talking down there team and monarchs fans decide not to come through. we saw what happens when there are only a few monarchs fans around in the league cup match, the monarchs riders didn't seem to give as much as you would have thought and we won easily 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Add in that Etheridge will likely have departed by then and it could be that bit harder. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
