Bagpuss Posted February 16, 2018 Report Share Posted February 16, 2018 (edited) Could only be that three riders attended the training as the fourth person is unidentified. Alternatively it might not be sensible to take one photo as definitive proof of who was there and who wasn't......... As for the press releases, I understood it as being a piece of news every Friday rather than a huge announcement but could be wrong. Pleased to hear that Bunce got a swift reply and that the service is being resurrected. Edited February 16, 2018 by Bagpuss Autocorrect.....

Robin went on to explain that the Club are in the process of reactivating the scheme for 2018, so hopefully that will work well this year.

This winter from the club they've added nothing that I should get excited about. I feel the team is poor, training announcements irrelevant, link up with UEA that'll have no bearing on the sport as a whole and my experience. For all that an extra £1 for the pleasure. So far the winter break has been as poor as the 2017 season itself Expand Incredible . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand For me having supported the club from the early 70s and I walked away from the club after the towel was thrown in mid season last year - my biggest disappointment of the winter is the total failure of the club to admit it got things very wrong last season - all has been swept under the carpet - yes time to move on time to be positive not negative - glass full rather than glass empty all those sound bites of the winter - but as we approach the season the club still has work to do to get me to attend. But I’m hopeful the promotion will up there game as the first meeting gets closer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
semion Posted February 18, 2018 Report Share Posted February 18, 2018 (edited) For me yes the club is a mess off the track, but hopefully things are being put in place to change that. However it’s what happens on the track that is going to attract the punters. Put out a winning team and entertain then the people will come. Don’t ? Well we all the answer to that one Haze couple wins and you will be back as you will feel you are missing sumink.

mrss Posted February 18, 2018 Report Share Posted February 18, 2018 Haza. All you ever do is keep saying the club haven't done anything to make you support them again. If you don't want to go to the speedway , then stop at home. No one is going to knock on your door and beg you to go. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand I feel the same way Haza ok winning is nice but would you rather win everyweek watching alot of dross or go there win or lose coming away thinking god that was a good night out. It does bemuse me that some people have to win at all costs for me enjoy the company of good friends and have a good night out that is what it is all about.At Swindon in Rossiter a passionate bloke who does not always like what he hears but he does LISTEN and i believe him along with Lee Kilby are two forward thinking people at Swindon.Could Mr Chapman of opologised about last year? i think so and a memory of mine last year was his interview at Swindon on BT it was a utter disgrace cringeworthy to be honest anyway i hope you enjoy your speedway in 2018 Haza. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When and if (note the order of those words I'm trying to be positive) entertainment and value for money appear IMO a lot more will be attracted. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
