NickRushbrook Posted October 21, 2018 Report Share Posted October 21, 2018 Don't care how you dress it up. That Rathbone fella is an odious little man. Yes, he's entitled blah blah. Opportunistic at best. I could say a lot worse that would likely get me a knock on the door from the police. Alas, anything I say on this forum, I'm more than happy to repeat to anyone's face. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it had got to heat 10 we couldn’t have complained but unfortunately you didn’t and the aggravation you caused at Peterborough the other week after our light failure and delay has really come me back to haunt you. The BSPA Results service states meeting abandoned result does not stand, effectively that means it needs restaging, if you cannot do that you forfeit the tie. "You", "you", "you" - LOL - what made you think I'm a Lakeside fan? Panther since 1977! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LagutaRacingFan Posted October 21, 2018 Report Share Posted October 21, 2018 Interesting to note that Ged said that the team had made major bike changes, would have been very interesting to see the conclusion of this meeting. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bryce Posted October 21, 2018 Report Share Posted October 21, 2018 I have a horrible suspicion that tonight's farce may be the final death knell for many supporters, if not for the Hammers as an entity. I hope JCF's imaginary train journey was better than my actual one. No direct trains to London because of engineering works. Had to change at Broxbourne, and the first train when we got there was cancelled too. Just got home after a long incredibly frustrating day. Not speedway's finest hour. Another low which may be the end of a desperately sad season. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My journey was Peterborough to Stevenage, Stevenage to Hertford North, Hertford East to Rye House. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t think that was me Singy, certainly wasn’t eying up the catering van Love visiting Workington. After 4/5hrs of driving hell, the final drive along the A66 , makes you realise how beautiful Britain is. Will be back to Workington this weekend 100%, just hope the weather stays fair & good luck on Thursday night Edited October 21, 2018 by Falcon Hammer 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spin king junior Posted October 21, 2018 Report Share Posted October 21, 2018 (edited) What an absolute disgrace that was. Felt like the fans were left (literally) in the dark for far too long and then to come over the PA and announce "we're sorry, we're speedway people, not electricians" is just shoddy. Had to take an 8 year old kid home bored out of his mind for a good hour waiting around and doesn't want to go back to the speedway now. And can you blame him? Tonight was the absolute lowest I've felt about this sport in a long time and that's bloody well saying something with the amount of crap we put up with in speedway. People can shoulder the blame with Rye House and they obviously had a massive hand to play in this mess of a so called meeting. But lakeside have to as well. The lack of worthwhile communication was bad just the occasional "we're doing our best" well, it wasn't good enough. I often see the phrase any speedway is better than no speedway thrown a lot around especially on this forum, but I can safely say I'd rather have none than have to put up with the absolute dross I saw.

I just find your comment obnoxious basically and if your not prepared to put your comment on here why load the gun and not fire the bullets. Tonight's problem was not caused by Ged Rathbone and yet you are prepared to make half baked comments about him . We could all make comments about different promoters but most of us prefer not to as a matter of respect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All your Sheffield management there again enjoying some great racing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other half is a southerner and lives near Rye House so thought I'd take the opportunity to go watch some speedway with the season ending do prematurely at Sheffield!
