Must be going to happen then if they are selling season tickets! Couldn't really expect the Grand opening meeting to be included in the season ticket.

Stoke Potter Posted November 20, 2015 Report Share Posted November 20, 2015 I prefer to call it pointing out the very serious shortcomings in customer care & consideration by speedway promoters, but unfortunately they ,like yourself are still living in the 1950's.and don't see what they are doing wrong. You are absolutely spot-on mate. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vincent Vega Posted November 21, 2015 Report Share Posted November 21, 2015 Prices rise to £225 in an EL with hardly any top riders!! They will have a great new stadium half empty every week. The prices should be coming down not going up!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Brown Posted November 21, 2015 Report Share Posted November 21, 2015 Hi Chris! I agree entirely! I've been out of the 'speedway loop' for a decade but keep tentative tabs. I always thought this particular thread optimistic knowing how planning works. However there are some who should know better who allowed the story to run raising people's hopes. I only initiated this thread based on a conversation that I had a number of weeks ago with a group from Swindon who appeared to have some evidence that things were moving...since proved to be not the case! Hope that life in Oxford is fine and that Cowley may soon see some movement but I'm sure that there is still a long way to go. Wondered if it was you Steve, good to see you are back in circulation. I have only been to 4 meetings in the UK (all in the IOW) since Oxford closed in 2007 so fair to say I also have really been lost to the sport. Used to go to 4 a week !!! As for Oxford, while Swindon seem miles away and do not have planning permission, the silence in Oxford where there is a ready made stadium suggests there is no chance. Hope I am wrong but we all thought last December when the planning consent was chucked out and then the Conversation Order put on the stadium was the catalyst. Seems the owners have deeper pockets and less business sense than anyone gave them credit for. The campaign has been completely silent for months now Time in my mind to accept we have seen the last speedway in Oxford. Not sure I personally have the appetite any more, I think people move on and find other things to do 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure I personally have the appetite any more, I think people move on and find other things to do Yes Chris it is I! I haven't been to a speedway since 2004 and considered visiting Scunthorpe this year but decided, in the end, not to bother. Lost total enthusiasm for the sport since leaving Oxford. What I have seen (on DVD and read) it's no longer the sport I once patronised. Popped into Cowley a few years back after the speedway had folded and couldn't believe the state of the stadium. It would take lots of money to bring it back up to standard. I was in correspondence with the then manager of the stadium (GRA) stating my dismay suggesting that the remit was to run the place down with a view of selling it for development but this was hotly denied...I have been proved correct since! As regards Swindon I really don't know what to make of it all. There are all these contradictory statements and reports and I will be very surprised if a new stadium will be built before the commencement of the new season. As you say people move on to find and do other things. I followed the sport for 32 years having spent a small fortune travelling the country and Europe but decided that enough was enough after seeing the sport spiralling forever downwards thru' a combination of bad management and silly regulations.

Trees Posted November 22, 2015 Report Share Posted November 22, 2015 Once you lose your club that's it really, that is why club speedway is so important imo. If Lynn shut I wouldn't go anymore either, I wouldn't have that same care about any rider, support ya clubs people! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm shocked Mother T for I've always had an inkling that in the unlikely event of Lynn shutting its doors to speedway, then you might well become a Witch! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemini Posted November 22, 2015 Report Share Posted November 22, 2015 I'm shocked Mother T for I've always had an inkling that in the unlikely event of Lynn shutting its doors to speedway, then you might well become a Witch! I know this is a joke Bryn but if your local track closes and you still love Speedway surely you would still want to go, as long as there is a stadium not too far away? I managed to change from a Lions fan to a Bees fan in 1984, although admittedly for a couple of years I was supporting the visiting teams (under my breath.) I do understand though because I'm not so sure I could revert back to supporting Leicester every week if the Bees disappear, unless the standard of racing was good and there were no damn sun breaks. I'm probably more fussy these days so I realize that my two statements are contradictory and apart from the odd visit to Peterborough and Leicester I'll no doubt be joining the list of ex-Speedway fans.

bruno Posted November 22, 2015 Report Share Posted November 22, 2015 It took me from 2001 to 2009 to think I'd become a wolves fan,just when I'd had enough therapy we came back in 2010 to totally mess me up again.if we didn't run again don't think I could start watching wolves again but that's proberly because the sports changed so much over here in the last 6 years or so 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Trees more likely to become a more ardent Stal Gorzow fan if the Stars no longer shon on her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
