Stainlesssteelride Posted April 25, 2018 Report Share Posted April 25, 2018 (edited) I hate being negative about certain things, but speedway is never going to getting crowds back or become a bigger watched sport in this country. There is a very big contingent of Polish people in Ipswich and other towns, and how many of them go? What is it that the Poles that love speedway don't watch it over here. There is clearly something that does or more likely doesn't happen in this country that doesn't appeal to people anymore.

I'd rather smell the methanol and see the dirt flying thanks, rather than being an armchair critic, Updates are a very poor second if I really can't make the match Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stainlesssteelride Posted April 26, 2018 Report Share Posted April 26, 2018 Well I can't make it, as doing something else, so updates is my best option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stainlesssteelride Posted April 26, 2018 Report Share Posted April 26, 2018 Okay I will take the bait, I've been going for 42 years, I can count on one hand how many meetings I missed in 41 of those years, last year I did miss about 5, and this season I've been to the 2 home and 1 away, now if that's what's classed as an armchair critic, then so be it. Add to that the updates site is very good, run by the fans for the fans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did I say I didn't appreciate them ?.....No, I said they were a poor second if I couldn't make the match, its a bit like watching speedway on the TV, even though i love speedway its not for me... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree but I don’t think it’s that simple when Nico is in the team. Both Nico and Cam generally struggle out of the gate and if they both miss it then they both head to the fence and want to ride the same line. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stainlesssteelride Posted April 26, 2018 Report Share Posted April 26, 2018 (edited) It's amazing how many people use the updates site, but will never help. Maybe antique Steve would love to help you out as he will obviously be there. Edited April 26, 2018 by Stainlesssteelride Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
