Robbobee Posted October 25, 2019 Report Share Posted October 25, 2019 With Simon Stead remaining in charge - maybe a possibility of attracting Martin Vaculik back to the uk ?? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LisaColette Posted October 25, 2019 Report Share Posted October 25, 2019 Well if Swindon get their own way about not changing their team, so the team averages being high, Sheffield could have quite a team!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted October 27, 2019 Report Share Posted October 27, 2019 Pause for thought. An estimated 4,000 Sheffield supporters were at West Ham for yeterday's football match. When did the speedway team have a similar following for an away match? And a tangent: that 4,000 total possibly equals how many watch three home speedway matches at Owerton.

Would make turning BV turn more sense as the only other reason I could see him turning it down is geographical wise if he wants to still be based in the South. In the past the UK has been quite low down on his list of priorities, which he has said publicly at previous press and practice days!

Seriously? Yes Pinny! That's why I posted my comment to show the comparison in interest between football and speedway. Of even more interest - how many attending a home Sheffield speedway meeting actually travel to an away match. Certainly not 4,000 - what is an average home speedway attendance? Probably around 2,000? Edited October 28, 2019 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenga Posted October 28, 2019 Report Share Posted October 28, 2019 2,000 average ! ! ! . have you been asleep from 1980 ? wake up and smell the coffee , rip v winkle .. Glasgow get a full house most weeks , whereas Poole dont . thats why they could be drop[ping down to the proper league in the U.K. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlieboy Posted October 28, 2019 Report Share Posted October 28, 2019 You can't compare football to speedway.When Sheffield Wednesday were in the play off final we took 42,000 to Wembley and could have sold more but were refused more tickets on safety grounds.Everywhere Wednesday and United go they sell out their allocation whether it's 2000 or 6000 to normal away grounds.Some teams come to Hillsboro and bring 100 !!!!!! Football is way bigger than speedway .Our support at Sheffield could be better but as I've said in other threads speedway in Sheffield is competing with 2 football teams ,ice hockey,basketball,rugby,netball,non league football teams and that's without the night life in the city centre.Places like Scunthorpe Kings Lynn Poole have not got the same local competition when they are competing for people to spend their leisure time and money.I am fortunate that I can afford to go to both but there are loads who can only support one sport .If we can get 2000 -2500 next season our promotors would be over the moon.In reality 1500-2000 would be my guess and that's with a good team to support.Speedways days are numbered because of stupid rule changes ,poor track prep and drawn out meetings. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scunny1 Posted October 28, 2019 Report Share Posted October 28, 2019 Sheffield has 50000 students that partly change year on year. Potential numbers to attend from there if promoted favourably- free pint with admission? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Potential numbers to attend from there if promoted favourably- free pint with admission? sorry to push on yer bonfire . todays students are very savvy and can get entertainment at dirt cheap prices . these students have a routine all of their own and its handed down to the newbies (freshers) every new term. their routine is a tried and trusted method that has beed tested for a very long time and works to perfection .. . its about living within their means and entertainment on the mega cheap . they aint going to hand money over just like that. i have had one gone through the uni ranks and now another one doing the same things as the first one did ! Sheffield need to offer about 20/30 or even 50 students a block booking on entrance ,(on a different gate)but make if impossible to refuse the offer . new customers are out there , but the older ones are more savvy and pick n choose their meetings . good luck with that . will it work. well , you will not know until Sheffield try it ................ BTW. not all student drink .lol Edited October 28, 2019 by jenga Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
