You look at the way your club is run by Mr Ford he is a modern promoter he does consider the fans because he knows they are his bread/ butter.. Without the fans he has nothing,what disappoint's me is that i still feel with everyone pulling together in the same direction the sport can get through this tough period.But it feels like the fan does not have a voice and are invisable gutting really because the sport we all love can still be exciting.It is a good job us Brits are not like the Germans because when they are unhappy they show it by there feet by not turning up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's saying Swindon are a bigger farce than anything King's Lynn are doing. As a track photographer, he's not likely to have a bad word about King's Lynn, is he? Swindon had a farewell meeting 2 years ago at their stadium and pocketed the money from it. They are still at the same stadium ,so that's a lot worse than Kings Lynn not naming their team all at once. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The stadium issue as you know is well out of Swindon speedway's management hands.We all believed the stadium would happen but i am just pleased the club is still operating. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have said all along sid that the spreading out of announcements is for the benefit of people who switch off from speedway in the winter months and not the likes of us who use this forum. I don’t think it had been done particularly well but can understand the theory. They could have done so much more with better planning. People who eat, drink and sleep Lynn speedway knew the team before Xmas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no guarantee - yet - that Swindon will be doing the same, despite naming a team long ago. Any team needs a stadium and a track to race on. No-one knows if that is the case for the Robins yet. Is it really going to be the same old tired track in the same old worn out stadium?

I thought maybe they could of been frightened of announcing that Puk was not doing this season.A real shame as that top two is a very potent one and i feel Puk would of been on it this year.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're just unsure whether it will have had it's long overdue refurb. But familiar dishes will still be on the menu and we'll still be able to eat and drink until our heart is content 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
