Not that they will care one jot. It'd also put the rent up so gripe on here if you wish (that's everybody, not aimed at you) but that's all. As for it's in the SS Rodders, it's like saying that there's a good article in Timber Trades Journal about speedway fencing i.e. without the detail it doesn't help.

What people should understand is that EOES act like they are doing us a personal favour by allowing Speedway at all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be open and simply tell us the truth. Because as someone stated earlier the Showground call the shots and Peterborough Speedway does as its told. It’s not the first time it’s happened and won’t be the last, it happens every year and sometimes more than once, it’s very frustrating but at the end of the day we can only use the Showground on their terms.

Problem is that we know what it's like and no matter how many times you say it you still get people on here coming up with the logical solution, when running at the EoES is anything but logical. It'd help if we communicated things better. I've no idea why we don't. Edited March 2, 2018 by Crump99 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badge Posted March 2, 2018 Report Share Posted March 2, 2018 Obviously too late for this year, but in future years perhaps EOES is a venue not to be used for other speedway events Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stainlesssteelride Posted March 2, 2018 Report Share Posted March 2, 2018 Trouble with the showground is it's such a good track it deserves some good events. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Counter Posted March 2, 2018 Report Share Posted March 2, 2018 There are many other good, and better, tracks that deserve such events. It all comes down to planning. Doing the hard work, making sure that everything is in place, before making announcements, this would create confidence and credibility. Also, when things go wrong, put your hands up, and be honest, don't hide behind cleshays, 'beyond our control '. Supporters need to be treated with respect. I am sure that the great speedway supporting public will do their best to support this meeting despite the difficulties caused by the lack of respect.

Regarding the organisers and the Showground you have idea what you are talking about. The Showground calls the shots and like it or not Speedway likes it or lumps it.

bruno Posted March 2, 2018 Report Share Posted March 2, 2018 I get it the speedway has no say in what goes on at the showground but what I don't get is announcing a time but not knowing another event of some sort is already taking place. I suppose really it should be the showground telling the speedway rather than the speedway asking. Either way it's the fans who get messed about again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So why didn't all these other great deserving tracks put themselves forward to host the event. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
