DitchLev Posted February 24, 2019 Report Share Posted February 24, 2019 Okay people, with the demise of my beloved Hackney and Arena/Lakeside, to support over the last 50 years. I want to follow a Championship team with the same passion and interest. Let me know why I should support your team, and I'll make my decision by the end of February. Happy New Season folks and enjoy your Speedway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HGould Posted February 24, 2019 Report Share Posted February 24, 2019 Birmingham - in Dave Mason and Laurence Rogers 2 guys who want to provide entertainment and to improve their Club. Based on where you live however, I would say Eastbourne, been so impressed with all they have tried to do this winter, as the previous Poster said, their new website and link with Speedway Portal sets the bar higher than anyone apart from possibly Glasgow and their social media. I think if I lived down there I would certainly give them a try but try Brummies first! 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not in a position to follow a team in person, but will follow and support on all social media, so you "Northern Teams" speak to me!

Fingersfin Posted February 24, 2019 Report Share Posted February 24, 2019 We will fly you up first class, greet you with the massed pipes and drums. Lay on a lavish champagne reception followed by the finest Scotch pies known to man. We will provide you with a golden throne to pass aforementioned Scotch pies and after the finest Speedway in the Championship tuck you up with a beautiful single malt and a cheeky wee shortbread. Just stay away from the hotel fire alarm. 2 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weeyin Posted February 24, 2019 Report Share Posted February 24, 2019 Glasgow , we have a fab stadium , a team that interacts with fans, a superb promotion, top social media input and Glasgow fans get on with everyone. (Well almost everyone, we do have a bit of banter with the smugs ) 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Halifaxtiger Posted February 25, 2019 Report Share Posted February 25, 2019 (edited) Pity it has to be Championship, because in recommending a club it would simply have to be Isle of Wight. None other even comes close. Edited February 25, 2019 by Halifaxtiger 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4thbender Posted February 26, 2019 Report Share Posted February 26, 2019 Sorry, they're all wrong! It has to be Sheffield. Great knowledgeable supporters and a team which, along with Belle Vue, is the longest established in the UK. Owlerton has the best viewing facilities available to any team in the country, currently being further developed with the addition of a banqueting suite to open later this summer. The only venue where you can enjoy a silver-service carvery whilst watching the speedway. The track is the fastest in the country and Ricky Ashworth is still the fastest man in British speedway with his record of 59.1 seconds around the 361metre track, achieved on 15th October 2010 (giving him an unmatched average speed of 54.66mph over 4 laps). The real clincher for any speedway fan is that Sheffield is at the very geographical epicentre of UK speedway, being equidistant from the furthest-flung speedway outposts. Plot 'em out on a map if you don't believe me! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't worry, Owlerton has the best medical facility of any UK speedway venue (totally in keeping with the best team on the best track at the best venue in the best city in the UK). Riders are queueing up to have a crash at Sheffield just to sample the delights of the state-of-the-art medical facility. Nose bleeds? Not a problem. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
