Speedtiger Posted September 3, 2020 Report Share Posted September 3, 2020 Have I missed something here....but why have a National Stadium and not have the National Championship there!

But the clowns that so called ‘run’ the sport arrange to hold it a rubbish track in the middle of nowhere? Surely this is a joke! Expand Four main reasons I would think 1. Manchester is in varying degrees of lockdown week to week so planning an event there at the moment is very risky and has no guarantee it will happen. 2. Ipswich has around two thirds more capacity than the NSS so when percentage restrictions are applied you can still get a reasonable (and more importantly viable), crowd in.. 3. With Kings Lynn, Peterborough and Mildenhall all 'local' you have four lots of Speedway starved fanbases to pull from, which (with a good few from around other parts attending) hopefully will ensure all tickets available will be sold.. And 4. Ipswich might be 'in the middle of nowhere' but does traditionally at Easter get one of the largest crowds (if not THE largest single crowd), of the season at any track, so obviously have a strong underlying fanbase who show they will attend on one off occasions.. Put it all together and I would think the size of the venue, the amount of awareness of Speedway that exists in that geographical area, and the fairly low impact of Covid 19 to that part of the country, ticks a lot of boxes when it comes to planning and putting on an event that needs a crowd to be a financially viable...

SPD444 Posted September 15, 2020 Report Share Posted September 15, 2020 I believe there is real potential for streaming matches pay per view. As an ex Oldhamer who watched the Aces in the glory years at Hyde Road, now living in London who could only see them at Arena Essex and Rye House it’s great to be able to watch them live at the wonderful NSS all for a tenner. Well done Adrian 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
