Trees Posted April 4, 2016 Report Share Posted April 4, 2016 Perhaps that wasn't an OK reason for SKY but of course at the end of the day it is off because of the weather so the forecast it is. ...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
screm Posted April 4, 2016 Report Share Posted April 4, 2016 So if the meeting was taken place we would've been enjoying the first two or three heats by now, people of Kings Kynn would we have been seeing a meeting tonight giving the weather you have had today. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Star Lady Posted April 4, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2016 Sorry Danny but I'm 2 miles from the track and I've seen brilliant tracks prepared in far worse weather than we have had today. No rain since about 1530 this afternoon and that was more like a flock of incontinent gnats flying over I can't account for the stock car damage of course but we've all seen good tracks 24 hours after stocks before. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're right that we've had brilliant tracks in the past but we've had to wait around until 8.30 for heat 1. Also we've more than enough stinkers too. Then we'd see the next speedway debacle of the 'race to heat 10' while huge black clouds linger. While the race to heat 10 is on us fans stand around counting the discount value if the meeting doesn't make 10 heats. In hindsight, the right thing has been done but in totally the wrong way with no real explanation. That's what has got people's goat's more than anything 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KIRKYLANE Posted April 4, 2016 Report Share Posted April 4, 2016 Apart from reminding people that Speedway exists , has SKY done anything to promote our Sport in recent years. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveLyric2 Posted April 5, 2016 Report Share Posted April 5, 2016 Why haven't Sky produced a mini (say 60 secs) promo video for clubs to use on their websites?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theboss Posted April 5, 2016 Report Share Posted April 5, 2016 What, something like this: https://twitter.com/SkySports/status/709665454478856192 Impressive promo video, shame it is not even showing on speedwaygb.com let alone all the individual club websites! #majorfail 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

damosuzuki Posted April 5, 2016 Report Share Posted April 5, 2016 I don't think it's that big a deal,but what on earth are Kings Lynn up to - cancelling a meeting with no explanation whatsoever? I can't get my head round how anyone would think that's appropriate behaviour towards customers??? Buster - the reason will come out whether you like it or not, and the lack of communication is actually worse than the National stadium opening. At least the Belle Vue promotion had the guts to stand in front of the fans and explain. Come on ffs, how do speedway promoters manage to undermine all the fantastic work they do over and over again. Probably falls foul of filming/streaming contracts and that's a load of bollocks as well, as if periscope threatens Speedway, they should be encouraging people to film and share heats to get the public interested.

SteveLyric2 Posted April 5, 2016 Report Share Posted April 5, 2016 What, something like this: https://twitter.com/SkySports/status/709665454478856192 Well that's a start - although I find it a bit 'flat'!! Something with a lot more 'oomph' in it with some decent music..........!! The next question is why can't it be personalised to each club? Sky have all the graphics at their disposal (certainly for all EL clubs and at least half a dozen PL teams). Then all that's needed is for the clubs to use them.........!!
