Woz01 Posted January 24, 2018 Report Share Posted January 24, 2018 The World Cup (or pairs event?) will be in June hence less fixtures that month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly pleases me that i don't have to choose between the World cup(football)plus when is the speedway World cup?Crowds would almost certainly dip through these periods.So they must have looked at this.So good work from the promotion,nobody wants to lose money if it can be avoided.

It appears you have difficulty in separating opinions to actually moaning. On another thread of this forum where posters are making predictions the majority are saying Lynn are weak.. , but don't let that worry you. My philosophy has always been, speak as you find, and if that offends you, that's unfortunate.., But I don't hunt in packs....... I certainly know the difference in people's opinions and people moaning. I also know that you pick holes in everyone's comments unless they agree with you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Each to their own I have zero interest in 22 men kicking a ball of air about, whereas I might have gone to speedway to avoid the wall to wall coverage of it 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bagpuss Posted January 24, 2018 Report Share Posted January 24, 2018 Along with the Olympics the World Cup is THE greatest sports tournament. An awful lot of people who go to speedway also like football and I think speedway fixtures need to be carefully planned while the tournament is on to avoid poor crowds. Of course it depends on the game on telly that particular evening......England v Brazil will have a different affect to Iran v Costa Rica for example! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate being negative about things but I've seen changes just not good 1s! every press release seems to have been botched. signings leaking early in the media, lambert moaning about signing,even the supporters meeting email said it was friday. I hope the improvements aren't just social media based. Not all of us do the social media thing other than maybe Facebook. i don't twitter snapchat or instigram and my phone isn't a modern 1! this whole e ticket thing caused me problems! new age is all well and good but with a 40+ crowd that could alienate some! Im all for being patient and stuff though. All i care about is the 15 minutes on track though really. so all these other exciting new announcements in terms of social media don't really excite me. Sign an exciting challenging team or drop prices. thats the best initiative! meh. rant over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some may say they have zero interest in watching four men follow each other around on two wheels for 15 minutes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah absolutely everything should be fine not to run meetings when England are playing although that get difficult to predict once they are into the knockout rounds.

I also know that you pick holes in everyone's comments unless they agree with you. Many times I am of the impression I have to justify my comments, because fellow posters don't like my opinions. Its not the case pf picking holes with anybody, merely having a different view, and not afraid to post it. When a person agrees with everything, their opinion loses its value. An opinion can only be one person's view There are posters on here who agree with everything the Stars do and say, they will not hear a word said about them.. The same can be said about certain riders, I'm pleased I am not one of those people. I support the team every year, through thick and thin, I will still be there most meetings. I believe my support deserves an opinion. Just because I voice a dissatisfaction, only highlights my strong feelings. .......... I don't apologise for voicing how I feel, If it didn't bother me, that would be the time to be concerned.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waytogo28 Posted January 25, 2018 Report Share Posted January 25, 2018 Tonight's the night! THIS is what we have been waiting for! Just How Amazing can it be? Is it just like the Music Hall style "amazing" - where every other act was truly stupendous and unlike anything that had gone before them? I hope that medical facilities are on hand to cope with stupefied members of the audience. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope those in attendance aren’t disappointed- let’s hope this is the beginning of a new era were the owner listens rather than my way or the highway attitude- we’re fans are treated with respect rather than taken for granted . We shall see for me I’ve seen nothing so far to make me return for the first meeting but we shall see the jury is still out . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
semion Posted January 25, 2018 Report Share Posted January 25, 2018 (edited) For those that can be assed to turn up tonight, no upsetting Buster by mentioning Holdergate of last season.

Star Lady Posted January 25, 2018 Report Share Posted January 25, 2018 As there have been no leaks about riders signing for Lynn this week, I fully expect an announcement tonight saying they can't announce the name of the number one because the I's haven't been dotted and the T's crossed. Got my cynical head on but don't think I'm far wrong 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
