Heard a whisper the change was in the offing but surprised about Stewart. Expand I think most people saw the Klindt situation being odds on this would happen Visa delays it seems with Stewart. Processes have to be followed and the next can't begin until the previous is complete Just goes to show that whilst everything changes nothing really changes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand I'd say realist rather than cynic (unfortunately) same old bs straight from the start Luckily cash on the night is still an option at Foxhall and I will be taking that option and evaluating developments before parting with my hard earned each time With a 2000 initial capacity I don't see myself missing out as a result!

This sort of thing has been a major bugbear for all of us over the years, but for the time being at least, we’re gonna have to cut them some slack and just go with it.

Expand From what I have heard their is some slack being given this year as travelling in and out of the country will undoubtedly cause problems for most teams at some points. I just hope that this slack is applied fairly to everyone and no one is allowed to take advantage. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand VFM could be better now.Klindt the gater can now be replaced with Crump,King,Heeps and Allen.You would get more VFM watching Allen in one race than you would watching Klindt in 4.Can't comment on Stewart as i have never seen him race.

semion Posted May 13, 2021 Report Share Posted May 13, 2021 (edited) And people pay 20 quid for this. There was Hawkeye targeting taking all the points.

Daniel Smith Posted May 13, 2021 Report Share Posted May 13, 2021 I've changed my mind on British Speedway trying marketing itself. Not a wheel turned & it continues to embarrass itself. The best thing that could have been done this season is not employ any rider's committed to international racing. A few rider injuries & it's going to be super embarrassing 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dill Posted May 13, 2021 Report Share Posted May 13, 2021 Sorry am I reading this correctly I've just paid £20 to travel from Essex to Kings Lynn to watch my team with 2 NL guests & nobody knew yesterday before the tickets went on sale !!!! and the penny slowly drops Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

old bob at herne bay Posted May 13, 2021 Report Share Posted May 13, 2021 Nothing changes it seems in British Speedway.......... same old same old ......... the only thing that changes is the cost of admission and programme. Remarkable that the "premiership" still lumbers on with the appallingly low standard of racers now being paraded ....... guess it just allows the promoters to charge higher admission fees compared to the championship. No idea why it now costs more to stage 15 heats in the premiership than the championship ........ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
