Grachan Posted July 6, 2016 Report Share Posted July 6, 2016 A big miss is people all trying to work out how the tactical substitiutes would pan out over the next few heats and how the losing side could get the best out of them. Speedway lost a lot when it got rid of the tactical subs. They made the same mistake that many people make - thinking that it was just about 4 blokes on bikes without brakes. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SCB Posted July 6, 2016 Report Share Posted July 6, 2016 Speed way should look at ice hockey to see how they connect, the windon Wildcats play in front of increasing crowds, good value for money and fan involvement as opposed to those motor cycling robins up on blunsdon hill. Agree with that. Only been to Cardiff to see the devils but the crowd interaction after a game makes speedway laughable. We wondered why everyone was waiting after the game, soon found out!

thrillpool Posted July 6, 2016 Report Share Posted July 6, 2016 I miss the days when Shadders was the Wizard of Shadwell. Does anyone know how often he uses that whistle that he carries around his neck? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speedway matches lost a lot of interest when the old tac subs were replaced. The spoils of a match are more predictable with the double bubble thingy. Speedway is more than racing, four blokes.. just my opinion - and grachan's. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BWitcher Posted July 6, 2016 Report Share Posted July 6, 2016 ........................ and mine. No it isn't your view, so don't try and jump on the bandwagon. People are voicing their APPROVAL of the old tactical substitution rules. Something you have told us you disapproved of. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or - am I wrong? No bandwagon jumping from me. Would you like to try again? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New Science Posted July 6, 2016 Report Share Posted July 6, 2016 Pretty sure I saw a women in Manchester tonight with an old fashioned football rattle. Who says speedway is stuck in the past.

heathen chemistry Posted July 7, 2016 Report Share Posted July 7, 2016 Fans wanting a quick getaway is not exclusive to speedway. Look how many leave football grounds early, to beat the rush. #only because theres normally nothin else on afterwards, im sure if there was something like a few sidecar races, or something fans would stay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
