The names mean nothing to the absent public. Being fourth and half the track behind is very different to skilled riders. No sport has survived by dumbing down its product. look at other forms of motorsport, gates are on the rise by using social media and promoting its product. Allowing children in for free.

bloom89 Posted October 29, 2019 Report Share Posted October 29, 2019 Would it be too sensible to assume the money the top league are getting from Eurosport that they went out and say bought 3 track covers between the league something useful or getting some actual decent grading equipment instead of wasting it on riders like they did with the Sky money. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baldyman Posted October 29, 2019 Report Share Posted October 29, 2019 Speedway could learn from chocolate, tasted for the first time how many go back for more chocolate,, chocolate has also moved with the times to keep relavent. Cider did the same, now gin is doing it, it's giving the customer what it wants, by investing in itself and moving on. Speedway needs to be more like chocolate and gin. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, yes, in a diabetes sense. Cadbury’s Dairy Milk, for example, has 55% sugar and 25% cocoa solids. People are addicted to sugar, not chocolate.

Just tastes of slimy cheap and nasty palm oil these days. That's progress for you Agree, Cadbury's just give me a constant headache these days. Stick to Galaxy now, can't be beaten. Unlike Speedway, it offers good value for money. Cadbury's has turned into the Speedway equivalent, lower the standards and charge more for it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lefty Posted October 31, 2019 Report Share Posted October 31, 2019 Similarly the supermarket bags of Roysters crisps have gone down from 25g to 21g, with the price staying the same! So I'm now trying Seabrook's. Any more Speedway parallels out there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again, another Speedway equivalent. Excellent quality, great value for money but many refuse to try it as it's at the lowest level of the rung. People don't like to be seen buying cheap as it makes them feel inferior. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speedway needs to be more like chocolate and gin. plenty of old school things have made remarkable comebacks like real ale, cider & gin as you stated so watch out Sherry will be next....you heard it here first Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
