The walk on music has been brought back for the 70th aniversary, and the reaction from fans has been very positive its jolly and uplifting. As for the post meeting conference, its a good idea, and very well attended, but its great when you win, good vibes and banter flying around, but its very difficult when you have a loss, thats the down side. Personally, i do feel the post meeting conference happens a bit to quickly after the meeting, and does not give enough time for track staff to attend, perhaps it could be staggered 10 mins or so, i appreciate that riders want to get on, but its all part of the show,. The meeting sponsors are never, left alone, Bev may or a representative is always, with them, you may not notice that. H/S depicts this is the case.. i didnt say the sponsors were "left alone" i wrote they were "virtually on their own",also i dont get what your saying when you say you dont get what im saying,i will write slower for you!!

Najjer Posted April 19, 2018 Report Share Posted April 19, 2018 Speedway should be marketed as an extreme sport, not a family sport or anything of the like. When you hear the intro music being described as 'jolly' it really does make you cringe. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bleeds Pirate Blue Posted April 19, 2018 Report Share Posted April 19, 2018 I quite like the old school walkout and music! I miss some of the tunes we used to belt out back in the 90's! We had that little ditty they played just before the start of every race, and then slapped on some Tina Turner "simply the best" for the post-match parade!

Pirates were well beaten by the Robins in virtually every department - aside from PK (and he's a Swindon asset!!). I congratulated Rosco last night and don't think I can add anything else to this thread other than to question all the flack about Linus?! At least he scored in every race albeit against 'less-skilled' riders. Incidentally Glyn Taylor spent some considerable time pre-meeting chatting to some of the sponsors. In his opinion the track has several racing lines - even though they weren't apparent last night. The track prep was very different to last week due to the weather so maybe Glyn needs to sit down with the Poole riders and explain how their set-ups should be. Anyway haven't heard how Josh G is after his crash. Hope he's not injured - although if MF needs to make a temporary replacement, he has one ready made for another 28 days at least!! Just to set the record straight . I did not speak to any sponsors last night. The track is still soft in parts so it very difficult to water on such a warm and windy day. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trackrat Posted April 19, 2018 Report Share Posted April 19, 2018 In a shock move Poole have been granted permission to use Greg Hancock on a assessed 2.00 average as a replacement for James Shanes. A BSPA spokesman said `due to Pooles poor start to the season & Greg being away from the premier league for a few seasons it is only fair to allow this move in the best interests of the sport. #cheats never prosper.

ouch Posted April 19, 2018 Report Share Posted April 19, 2018 Whilst I know I’ll be accused of posting a wind up again, I’d just like to say I’m sorry to here that the track was gate & go again, I’m glad to see PK bolster the side in place of Holder as the score would have been worse and I still think a full strength Aces team would have won last week in much the same way as the Swindon full strength team did.

Track seemed worse this week, probably as having been so wet you could excuse the Belle Vue match. As for the result in the Belle Vue match, the gating dominance shown by Belle Vue for the first four heats wasn't sustained like Swindon did as the meeting progressed. Also the Aces' lead was helped by Spanner's EF when leading a 5-1, and Woryna being baulked when avoiding a Starke lock-up (3rd on a 4-2, to last) was a swing from being a Poole 10-3 lead, to being a Belle Vue 7-5 advantage after just two heats. After Heat 4, Poole outscored Belle Vue 42-24. I'm not convinced that Cook and Worrall would have made enough of a difference personally...

Steve Shovlar Posted April 19, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2018 That 1940’s marching music the riders come out to at the moment is an embarrassment that needs to be binned. Now. Don’t know what the tune is called but it’s worse than the crap Coventry came out to for years. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bleeds Pirate Blue Posted April 19, 2018 Report Share Posted April 19, 2018 (edited) Found it! First Call / Reveille - this used to play over the tannoy as they came to tapes and revved up.
