Jester Posted March 2, 2017 Report Share Posted March 2, 2017 Been with Buster today. He has removed all the old shale down to the base and when he is not swearing about the weather, is replacing it with new shale. Needs to go down dry and stay dry to pack it. Track will be very good and all looking forward to the start of the season That sounds promising, thanks for the info! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starboy118 Posted March 2, 2017 Report Share Posted March 2, 2017 (edited) You mention that "Having sub-standard shale" helps to keep the club operating.. or words to that effect... How many Speedway supporters have abandoned the Speedway because of this? How much gate money has been sacrificed? How many paying adults now do not attend Speedway racing at Saddlebow Rd per meeting? 100? 200? 300? 400?  Just say for the purpose of costings you've lost 200 paying adults per meeting..... at say £30 per fan, taking into account stadium admission, 1 programme, 1 food, 2 drinks, that equates per meeting, lost revenue of £6,000!!  That's just at 200 lost fans, so a drop in crowd from 1,600 to 1,400, not taking into account any additional children, and their mates.....  You telling me that you could not remove and swap the top racing surface for less than £6,000 per meeting??  That would surely be a no-brainer, or have Lynn, riding on sub-standard shale, providing sub-standard Speedway racing, actually hasn't effected the crowd levels that much? Even losing half that, 100 paying adults would cost £3,000 loss in meeting revenue..!!  Can someone explain the true cost of a shale swap between cars and Speedway per meeting? Can't be £3,000 per pop? Even including some new shale, and labour?   That's assuming that any reduction in crowd numbers results solely because of the reason you have detailed. There way well be numerous other factors that have played a part. That's assuming that any reduction in crowd numbers results solely because of the reason you have detailed.

Agrotron Posted March 3, 2017 Report Share Posted March 3, 2017 If I was Kings Lynn I would refuse to do it and say you signed a contract to ride for kings lynn if you can't commit to us we will find someone else Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil The Ace Posted March 3, 2017 Report Share Posted March 3, 2017 Its the Polish clubs that want it. Yep. It's a bloody joke. We are soon going to have to stop signing riders that ride on Poland 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bagpuss Posted March 3, 2017 Report Share Posted March 3, 2017 How many clashes are there likely to be? If it's several I'd say knickers to them and sign somebody else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniel Smith Posted March 3, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2017 (edited) How many clashes are there likely to be? If it's several I'd say knickers to them and sign somebody else. Â There could be many with the Ekstraliga looking to run meetings Friday, Saturday and Sunday. That's not overly the issue, the problem comes with their rearranged fixtures that could take place mid week. Poland are demanding from their league riders that these too are priority over any other league. Â Every club that has an Ekstraliga rider will be having the same issues. Â If it comes to the crunch and Buster says no, Holder will leave rather than be pushed as this demand from Poland is in his interest too because there's no way he'll give up the Torun position.

Maybe these riders will grow a pair and tell Poland to go and do one. If they all stand together then Poland may do a rethink. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrss Posted March 3, 2017 Report Share Posted March 3, 2017 If Holder can't commit to all the Stars fixtures he should piss off to Poland and we will move on without him. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd had that thought too but Ipswich will have priority over King. Â Once all countries have published fixtures, if a club rearranges a meeting and riders aren't available then tough titty.

Be interesting, Holder knew the rules and chose to sign for Lynn, be interesting what Buster's take would be as BSPA Chaiman, I like Holder and glad he is riding in GB and the fact he struggles at Wolves is a bonus for me although I don't really understand why he does Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
