phillipsr Posted April 1, 2017 Report Share Posted April 1, 2017 True and almost every comment he made was rude to the people he spoke to. He called one chap an 'idiot' for wearing Swindon colours and cheering on his riders. Any chance he had he took glee and belitteling anything Poole. Very immature. I like him already 😂 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Each to their own but he does it to Garry May and the riders as well, He is a lot more entertaining than the one on the centre green. Spence is funny and is a laugh and is entertaining, nobody should take him seriously as he does it in jest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anzum Posted April 1, 2017 Report Share Posted April 1, 2017 Chap in the crowd didn't get much back off the fans. Most couldn't name a team to win when asked. Robbie the Raker got the biggest cheer all night in the back straight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buttons Posted April 1, 2017 Report Share Posted April 1, 2017 What is it with some of you guys, all you do is find fault, guy on the centre green ...boring, the guy mixing it with the fans....rude and immature, the promotion making the guy take down the Rebel flag....although everyone had been told about displaying the flag previously, and the meeting late starting. Can't understand why Speedway cannot be enjoyed for what it is, the meeting was run well and no hanging about between heats and from where I stood everything seemed to go very well, maybe the lateness was to allow all travelling fans to get it. If all the Speedway meetings I have been to over the years was run like that, Speedway would be a lot better for it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CookieIpswich Posted April 1, 2017 Report Share Posted April 1, 2017 Pretty simple really all of this For the top events of whatever the BSPA call it, riders can only be missing if medically deemed unfit by an independent medic. Before the season rules should be in place to heavily fine or dock league pointd to those clubs who can't guarantee their top two averaged riders. But wait the sport is run by these people 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not finding fault I was sticking up for the commentator in the crowd and just find the commentator a bit boring, only my opinion, not finding fault. With the flag not everyone had been told as we have one in the car and didn't know we couldn't bring it in. Meeting may have started late but was run incredibly well and people can take note.

Najjer Posted April 1, 2017 Report Share Posted April 1, 2017 For what it's worth, I quite like our announcing team. Not boring at all, and do exactly what it says on the tin. Thumbs up from me! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well the Rebel flag has been gone for at least a season. even the Rebels logo changed, so don't know where you have been.I believe it was in the programme too.

Well me and my uncle had the flag at the start line all last season and wasn't told we couldn't put it up, didn't put it up last night but never heard that it wasn't allowed and not mentioning his name but the guy who was told to take his flag down took it home and away last season so obviously he wasn't told either. They only said they were changing it, they haven't put on the website or social media that fans couldn't put it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starboy118 Posted April 1, 2017 Report Share Posted April 1, 2017 Congrats to Kings Lynn. Got lucky tonight though. If KK hadn't been recalled to Poland for Zorros farewell and Hans wasn't baby sitting, us Poole fans would be celebrating our second trophy in 48 hours.[ quote] Would presume Poole will now face a fine for putting out a weakened team and Hans a ban for 'witholding his services'..? Don't think "I am baby sitting" has made it on to the reasons why you can miss an officially sanctioned National Championship... However, this is British Speedway so no surprise if it has.... And if it has, (as looks likely by Hans' absence), I do hope the BSPA have included several supplementary rules around which nationally of kids can be looked after without a ban, and which nationality of kids can not... It's the old "special dispensation" again!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if as the promotion has clearly stated they no longer wish to be associated with that flag and given the reputation it has amongst some people, why would someone go to a speedway track and wave it about? Seems idiotic to me. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
