Things You Miss In Speedway...


Recommended Posts

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.

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!

You are so right. 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.

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.

Quite!! :t:

 

I do disapprove - but - better than Double Points though - yes? :t:

 

Or - am I wrong?

 

No bandwagon jumping from me.

 

Would you like to try again? :rolleyes::)

Pretty sure I saw a women in Manchester tonight with an old fashioned football rattle. Who says speedway is stuck in the past. Well done I say, just hope she's not sitting next to me at the World Cup in a few weeks time,

Security will no doubt confiscate it for potentially being a weapon.

Never mind the rattle... I looked at the stadium last night and... where was this woman? The place looked empty...

Killjoys!!!

 

I used to have a rattle when I attended Sunderland Games many years ago.

Weren't they usually called 'corn crakes' or something similar.
