Steve Shovlar Posted September 14, 2018 Report Share Posted September 14, 2018 Giving up. Just very poor. Thought the sec was poor but the delays between heats kills this stone dead. Surely the organisers must have been aware of huge delays between heats? Pitty the fans that have attended. Must be bored sensless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zengota seems to be dialled in to the track better than most. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For French people it's normal to attend meetings that end after midnight. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Shovlar Posted September 14, 2018 Report Share Posted September 14, 2018 I gave up on it. Just a terrible format. Long gaps between heats, with the format so bad some riders are coming out for their third ride against ridrrs who are making their first. Bad.

teijahn Posted September 14, 2018 Report Share Posted September 14, 2018 This heat arrangement would seem to be a good way to diminish interest in the sport. Hopefully future rounds can field 16 riders and a more sensible format. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DutchGrasstrack Posted September 14, 2018 Report Share Posted September 14, 2018 They like long meetings as well. BBQ, friends, some racing. Few years ago we had a speedway meeting in Blijham which ended in like 2 hours. Result was that everybody was moaning that it was such a short event. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those added to the rider list would be unlikely to feature in the thick end of prize money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is why I like speedway in Denmark and not too keen on Longtrack.Denmark rattle through quickly with few breaks and often here in Germany even speedway meetings take for ever,but Longtrack more so.The difference is most tracks in Germany and France only have one or two meetings a year and try to make the most of it in terms of dragging things out to maximize money taken for food and drink etc and also to give this feeling of a festival,whereas in Denmark tracks are hosting meetings on a regular basis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a rubbish line-up that was in Holland https://sportowefakty.wp.pl/zuzel/relacja/93223/turniej-o-zloty-kask-w-veenoord Back to the Diamond cup 1st round couldn`t even get 16 riders and ended up with 13 in such a cr&p format it was "two on the trot" in every race. 2nd round must have been around 8 changes- no Internet or Polish TV coverage Round 3 Krsko there will be one man and his dog watching!! Round 4 is in doubt because the city of Rzeszow are not prepared to stump up any cash to support the round there- and why should they support such a " Mickey mouse" event Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
