Haza Posted May 23, 2017 Report Share Posted May 23, 2017 Day before the home meeting against Rye House and still no preview or team news on the Stars website. Club don't seem to give a toss about the fans. nothing new there - I've gone on about it for two years and nothing has changed almost at the point of not careing if the club promote the meeting or not .

tellboy Posted May 23, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2017 Be nice if the Stars promotion could understand that fans want to know who is riding and what is the makeup of each team sooner than 24 hours before the event. People can then make up their minds to attend or not. What has happened to the "big marketing push" proposed doing the winter by the BSPA? Nothing has improved in the KL area as far as I can see. Why do people moan about the make up of the team.You know pretty much it will be the same team that rode a couple of weeks ago.When a team change is likely i'm sure it would be announced in good time.I feel sorry for all those football fans that travel to see their teams and only get to know who's playing in the team less than an hour before kick-off 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I and others have said the Josh is not up to the task the promotion are asking of him. I wanted to know on Monday what was the makeup of both teams so that I could decide to go or not. e.g. if Harris had not been riding as suggested might be the case I would not have gone. I do not follow football so I can't comment very much on that other than I suspect all Premier League clubs have squads up to the level of adequately replacing an unfit or off form someone i.e. Rooney at Man. Und. Not really the case in speedway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Und. Not really the case in speedway. I too feel Josh should be stepped down.Maybe after tomorrow they may think about it.Maybe i should have phrased the makeup of the team better.What i meant is people moan about wanting to know who is going to be riding in the 1-7 when they know who is going to be riding surely. Why shouldn't Harris be riding,this was only bought up by a member of this forum.So he is riding in Germany on Thursday,many riders ride in different countries the day after.If promotions had to answer for everything that crops up on this forum they wouldn't have time for anything else. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadders Posted May 23, 2017 Report Share Posted May 23, 2017 Very rarely to football teams announce their line ups more than a couple of hours before kick off. Why should speedway be any different? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BluPanther Posted May 23, 2017 Report Share Posted May 23, 2017 Very rarely to football teams announce their line ups more than a couple of hours before kick off. Why should speedway be any different? Football clubs operate with squads, whilst UK speedway teams have declared 1-7's. Big difference... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

g13webb Posted May 23, 2017 Report Share Posted May 23, 2017 I'm totally the opposite, these sh!+y terrorists want to spoil lives and make us live in fear. Not me, fu© em' and continue to enjoy life, you never know what's round the corner I don't know why you say you're totally the opposite, you are saying exactly as I posted. These terrorists will not stop me doing as I normally do, only that I find it very hard and insensitive to be celebrating and shouting my enjoyment, when there are those grieving for loved one they have lost... I agree, you don't know what's round the corner, but I think any celebrations this week would be badly timed...., Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're all different & have different ways of dealing with things. I certainly will have no qualms about celebrating a great race or meeting tomorrow night, if anything, what happened last night in Manchester gives me more determination to properly enjoy some sunshine Speedway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Scrutton Posted May 23, 2017 Report Share Posted May 23, 2017 Some supporters seem to think that picking Josh was a bad move but all they could put in to the 7 spot was a 2point rider which was not easy as any other rider on offer would not have scored any more than Josh. Things will change I'm sure when the new averages come out which i hope will be soon. then I'm sure we will have a stronger scorer. In fact i think they may have some one in mind.

Starboy118 Posted May 23, 2017 Report Share Posted May 23, 2017 Well, you should know the team then. Speedway fans don't arf moan a lot. Jeeeez Probably something to do with all the guests and rider replacement. I turn up to watch my football team and I know that we aren't going to suddenly produce a player from another team for one match or play a man short.

John Scrutton Posted May 24, 2017 Report Share Posted May 24, 2017 You can't compeare Football with Speedway Football has a large squad of players most of them content to sit on the bench and getting their large cheques every week..You can't have riders sitting around waiting for a injury or whatever every week 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They had 3.31 to play with at the start of the season. Shame the bar wasn't showing the football tonight I could have a great night watching the speedway and football with a few 🍺 Edited May 24, 2017 by tellboy 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
