I suppose the easy answer is oh well it’s speedway but it does not help the showpiece final of a sport that is trying to attract a new and bigger audience. I don’t have the answers but I have a lot of questions for the people who run the Sport and have voiced these in many emails all of which have not even had- a reply. When administrators won’t engage with fans they miss a real opportunity of listening to other views some of which would be well worth looking into. As a business owner I regularly seek the views of my staff and customers to make sure I am not dropping a ball and it’s a great way of keeping things in perspective , speedway has lots of loyal fans and at times it seems that have to put up with what is served up and what is decided by others . All promoters want the best for their teams and will know every possible way of exploiting any loop holes that’s knowing your business perhaps some non promoters and business people and marketers should be invited on to a management committee whose job it is to protect the integrity and future of the sport. Best wishes to both teams tonight may the winner be Speedway You've almost brought a tear to me eye D!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must be delivering new material for the track. Promoter Robin Brundle tweeted this morning that work on the track re-commenced at 5am this morning.The photo he shared looked like they were watering the track heavily. God knows what's going to happen tonight, could be any score. Just hope the Stars riders use the 'behind closed doors' practice session later this afternoon to get dialled in so that they can hit Pirates with some 5-1's early doors. That would make it interesting! Hope the lorry isn't carrying any more house bricks for burying amongst the shale!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I'm not so sure Palm Toft was going to have 7 rides tonight!! If Ellis gets 7/8 from his programmed rides and Howarth 8/9 from 5 I don't think it would be too far off what the 2 Danes would have scored!! Ellis will only get 2 rides!

They touched bottom of the league at 1 stage, and finished 6 points clear. NKI injured Sunday, MPT injured Monday. Poole allowed a rider that don't fit Weds... How would you Poole fans feel. Mate, injuries are part and parcel of the sport we know that. Yes its unfortunate, but you have to feel for BV, As well. Anyway, 16 points is a fair cushion, but i doubt any of our boys will take it for granted. Its not done until its done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember being at Newcastle when Comets were there, with Howarth then a Comet, my mate and I got talking to a young girl standing next to us ..who was on her own. We said we had been Comets fans for many moons.......she said she was Howarths' girlfriend........she added - so you might have heard of my Dad then ?.....he's Neil Middleditch. Sincere apologies if that is no longer the case mind (regarding Howarth that is..)....but we both told her we had indeed heard of her Dad... lol...........

mrss Posted October 10, 2018 Report Share Posted October 10, 2018 We might have some good racing tonight. We could have had a tight score at the start if Poole hadn't had payed the refferee to make some dreadful decisions in the first leg.
