Alex2000 Posted February 20, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2017 (edited) Just a thought but at the start of last season the club made a 'snapchat' account... thought that was a great idea but it dwindled over time, as it gave an insight to behind the scenes before/ during and after the meeting. maybe bring that back if there is time to fit it in with other jobs? or give it to one of the 'young guns' who don't ride until after the meeting. Also on the point of time between heats and the fact time between 14 and 15 wants to be reduced, in my opinion i prefer a bit of time between the final 2 heats as it builds tension especially if there is a last heat decider, it gives the announcer time to build an atmosphere in suspense of what could happen. obviously that wouldn't work if we had won the meeting in heat 11.

Moleman27 Posted February 21, 2017 Report Share Posted February 21, 2017 Yeah but most of us eagle eyed fans work out who is nominated for heat15 when they come past the main stand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex2000 Posted February 21, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2017 I thought Steve Crow filled the time last year quite nicely between heats 14 and 15 when he got someone from the crowd out on to the centregreen to make the announcement.Yes he did also good when he got a couple of Kent fans out there too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought he was impressive full stop. Lot better than some of the tedious or star of the show presenters out there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woofers Posted March 6, 2017 Report Share Posted March 6, 2017 Is it right that speedway has only a couple of years at Arlington? Have heard on two separate occasions and sources that the land has been sold for a hotel development. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex2000 Posted March 6, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2017 Is it right that speedway has only a couple of years at Arlington? Have heard on two separate occasions and sources that the land has been sold for a hotel development. why put a hotel there it's in the middle of nowhere and is pretty bleak. Anyway I thought building on the land had been ruled out as its in the Green zone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gazzac Posted March 6, 2017 Report Share Posted March 6, 2017 Think it less likely to get planning for a hotel than housing with current policies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TurnTwo Posted March 6, 2017 Report Share Posted March 6, 2017 Be sad if it does only have a couple left It's just a shame that the stadium isn't more central then I believe you would get the crowds like Poole Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TurnTwo Posted March 12, 2017 Report Share Posted March 12, 2017 I read in the speedway star that Clegg left nl to hopefully be a pl number 1 by the end of this season - good luck to him. A rider that sticks in my mind after he refused to race heat 1 at Eastbourne then reeled of 4 wins I believe. - I saw his results at Glasgow today...maybe a slow start to his pl number 1 status?

gazzac Posted March 28, 2017 Report Share Posted March 28, 2017 (edited) No Adam Extance this year apparently, his damaged knee won't stand up to the stress of speedway! Didn't even get to the first race this year without having to make team changes or r/r. .....Shame, was looking forward to seeing him ride.

Sings4Speedway Posted March 29, 2017 Report Share Posted March 29, 2017 Bad news for Adam. Good news for Eastbourne as I'm certain they will be cooking up another rider deal soon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
