Dandelion Posted December 28, 2018 Report Share Posted December 28, 2018 2 hours ago, Haza said: Several reasons - poor racing on what was once the best track in the country -poor value for money - many a time we’ve gone to the car after heat 15 and said that wasn’t worth the admission- silly rules is another- rules being broken as in the play off final when it suites . Late starts near on 8pm when a 7-30 start might encourage more to attend especially families- lack of urgency to keep meetings flowing - that in its self was a major reason with early start at work the next morning- it all added up to us not attending and to be honest not missed it in the slightest- we watch on tv and that’s enough for us at the moment . And thanks for asking my reasons Fair enough, at least you have some pretty genuine reasons... Maybe some clubs should be looking into these types of things... Although you cannot please everyone... You spend your earned money how you wish, I would encourage you to keep an open mind however, and if things in the speedway world begin to improve (which imo they are with the new rules) please reconsider enjoying your trips to KL and maybe a few other tracks again 8pm is a bit late though, especially if there's work the next day, might put parents off bringing their kids too. Also, some things, like the flow of the meeting cannot be helped so much in my opinion, riders need a rest when competing in a sport as dangerous as speedway, I like the added couple of minutes if they have two rides in a row, it must get exhausting for a reserve who has to take 7 rides, lack of concentration and tiredness is critical in a sport like speedway, especially if they ride pretty much every day in three different countries, how do they do it? ... BUT, 8pm starts wont help this as it gets later and later? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does help with thinking the person is stating with greater knowledge. I’m falling about laughing your post is so funny - and everything is rosey in the speedway garden if that’s all your concerns we might as well close the sport down now .

You come across as someone who feel's he is superior to most of us but everyone has a view.I still go regularly and still love the sport but it should listen to the paying customer more.Five points that should be addressed all basic (1.) A 7.30 start means 7.30. (2.) No interval (3.) If there is a restart the riders go straight back to the tapes. 4.The referee should be made to let the race continue even if the rider guesses right he only get's excluded if he touches them. 5. Half hour Autograph session before the meeting with riders mixing more with the supporter ( i.e. The paying customer without them there is no sport). 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KLFAN Posted December 28, 2018 Report Share Posted December 28, 2018 I think the crux of the problem is that we have so much negativity already and we haven't even announced the team yet. Similar problem last year and we didn't fare so badly did we? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And none of those would cost the promotor a penny, so the question has to be asked why don't they happen? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kelvinht Posted December 28, 2018 Report Share Posted December 28, 2018 Assume kl go on Monday to allow Ipswich / Peterborough to use Thursday? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
semion Posted December 28, 2018 Report Share Posted December 28, 2018 Maybe it’s Lynn who are going to be on TV every week Is Buster taking on track prep at either Ipswich or Peterborough ? Sounds like with Lynn going Monday’s he is going to be keeping a more than watchful eye on at least one of the other two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Similar problem last year and we didn't fare so badly did we? There is an old saying 'You reap what you sow' and because of that, as you say, there is so much negatively. Last year wasn't that good, it could have been much better but we messed up when it mattered . To me coming second isn't something to be over joyed about. Since then we have had little to be excited about, all the other teams have been proactive in assembling decent teams, all we have to be positive about is the acquisition of Top Man, Robert Lambert. Making an announcement in the S/S and the EDP before enlightening their own fans, to me speaks volumes, It sure illustrated how little importance the Stars management regard their own supporters. Name another club that has done that...….. As of yet, I have seen very little, for me to be positive ...… Remember the saying..... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Byker Biker Posted December 28, 2018 Report Share Posted December 28, 2018 Hi G13webb, it's Robin Brucking Fundle here - just thought I'd give you a call to let you know the team. You're right we don't need the EDP or Speedway Star to attract new customers or inform those who aren't on Social Media we'll just let you know then you can do all the hard work for us. You'll probably find the EDP won't support us anymore unless you can give them an edge, do let me know how you get on spreading the news and for all those people who rely on the EDP and SS for information, well they can go duck themselves with an attitude like some have on here (attacking the post not the poster - allegedly!) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So from starting the season as a lot of people thought we would struggle, we came from bottom of the league, only to finish top by 6 points I think? How could of it "been so much better"? and "we messed up when it mattered" We exceeded all expectations and was hit with injuries to a reserve in form and NKI at the last minute. Someone's glass isn't even half empty, it's got a hole in the bottom... Happy New year Edited December 28, 2018 by Bald Bloke 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haza Posted December 28, 2018 Report Share Posted December 28, 2018 Well you lot are so negative with your glass half full no wonder speedway in in such a mess - the sport can definitely do without this kind of support though wait there is no fans left .And oh yes we only want the ones that can spell proper like lol lol lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny Connor Posted December 28, 2018 Report Share Posted December 28, 2018 Always comes back to the negative few with nothing better to do! The signing of rob is great news. It’s a good start. A few of the negative guys last year at this time were suggesting he would have to move on to improve . . . Niels is the most important link to this team now. A team with them as our spearhead gives me confidence in the big heats. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy New year I don't think webbo was meaning the results as such, more the quality of racing, general entertainment and presentation wasn't that good. The club did mess up at the end with the insistence of using Ellis which backfired spectacularly.

Sadly as things stand I like many more choice is not to attend - and I can’t see that changing unless there is a inspirational signing over the winter .
