Baldyman Posted October 29, 2017 Report Share Posted October 29, 2017 That's a good idea..must admit I didn't know anything about it though. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theboss Posted October 30, 2017 Report Share Posted October 30, 2017 That's a good idea..must admit I didn't know anything about it though. Just like 90% of the fans. Shame they go to the expense of running such a competition and then fail to market it. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattK Posted October 30, 2017 Report Share Posted October 30, 2017 That's a good idea..must admit I didn't know anything about it though. When I saw the tweets I thought it was a competition they were running at the Dirt Bike Show, however the press release says it has been running since the British GP. I don't know where this was advertised, but I certainly hadn't seen any mention of it before the winners were announced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waytogo28 Posted October 30, 2017 Report Share Posted October 30, 2017 Must have announced it on a day when there was real BIG news on Twitter. Nobody I knew that it existed and therefore could not enter. Usual Huge Marketing effort by the BSPA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldyman Posted October 30, 2017 Report Share Posted October 30, 2017 Is there the same comp running next year or is this a one off? Or will we find out when winners announced again😜 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woofers Posted October 30, 2017 Report Share Posted October 30, 2017 First I've heard of it. So, the entry forms were available at "various events" - it would be nice to know which one's. And how many entry forms were actually submitted. If they were serious about this, wouldn't it have surfaced long before now, perhaps even had some copy in the Speedway Star. Terrible marketing and PR 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldyman Posted October 30, 2017 Report Share Posted October 30, 2017 Would be handy to know if it's running next year . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

martinmauger Posted October 30, 2017 Report Share Posted October 30, 2017 Someone told me about this earlier in the season, but I don't recall the details or where they saw it and had forgottten all about it til reading about the winners. Good idea though and good luck to them... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoke Potter Posted October 30, 2017 Report Share Posted October 30, 2017 Interesting to observe none of the winners now have a speedway track in their town/city. You could conclude that that the sport still has appeal beyond it's core areas. The BSPA's "New Track Planning Committee" should take note...

Triple.H. Posted October 30, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2017 I knew nothing about this draw till I saw the results yesterday and decided to post them on here. It would appear that the majority of people also knew nothing about it, so in reality quite shambolic organisation and PR by the BSPA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott0311 Posted October 30, 2017 Report Share Posted October 30, 2017 I found out about it at the Scunny v Ipswich meeting in August. Popped my entry in but not a winner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crescent girl Posted November 3, 2017 Report Share Posted November 3, 2017 Wasn't there a season-long BSPA pass offered as a raffle prize (or auction, maybe) at the BenFund Bonanza at King's Lynn in 2016? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

waytogo28 Posted November 3, 2017 Report Share Posted November 3, 2017 Such a pass and the How To acquire it will no doubt be announced around 20th October 2018. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

INCOGNITO Posted November 3, 2017 Report Share Posted November 3, 2017 (edited) Thousands attended Cardiff GP and went to the Monster circus beforehand. At this there was a stand by the BSPA with George English and a few others there with forms to fill out for entry. Well Done to the winners, the catch to it is the winner on the South Coast has free tickets to all Glasgow matches and the guy from Hulk has tickets for Somerset Edited November 3, 2017 by INCOGNITO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
