Good job. When it is about the "invisible" UK sport of speedway racing, the readers would not know it from the KL tiddlywinks team or carpet bowls. Michael who? Where does he play and in what position, the vast majority were likely to have commented. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't this media exposure idea to get people to a track rather than just looking for someone's name in the results?? I assume it's The Star or Mirror who regularly have a Speedway peice at least once a week, so not really working for the sport is it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First Bend Bunching Posted February 10, 2019 Report Share Posted February 10, 2019 On 2/9/2019 at 12:52 PM, Haza said: I think Speedballs plan would work if all the other teams in the top flight announced their riders at the same time, so all teams announced 1 rider at exactly the same time as each other. As it stands the way this off season is going we probably know the rest of the riders for the Stars from who's been signed for other teams so far, with the uncertainty of will Niels be in the team or not. Yes I’ve criticised how the club has announced the team this winter - but in Speedball case it’s a definite plan in the clubs case to me it’s been a muddle along make up as we go along winter . take yesterday new team sponsor and Toft announcement the same day if it was to max out media coverage why announce both the same day ? It’s whats been said by Trees for one max out media coverage so two bits of news on the same day bet Poltec not too pleased . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexBrady Posted February 10, 2019 Report Share Posted February 10, 2019 (edited) I think the stars will make the play offs next season. I know there’s plenty of people who’ll disagree - I’ll happily wager £50 with anyone who disagrees, losers money to the Ben fund - I’ll happily put my money where my mouth is ...... of course if it works both ways ......

waytogo28 Posted February 12, 2019 Report Share Posted February 12, 2019 I will be hugely surprised if there any rabbit's in hats at KLS to be pulled out for 2019. No fresh faces I feel sure. Sadly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
