kelvinht Posted March 19, 2022 Report Share Posted March 19, 2022 Doesn't seem to be tickets available to buy online for Lewis's meeting or home fixtures in general. Bit of a backward step of you ask me, unless I'm just impatient... The ticket office on stars website still talks about 2021 tickets and nothing showing as available. Anyone would think we still lived in the dark ages and computers had never been invented in West Norfolk... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bagpuss Posted March 25, 2022 Report Share Posted March 25, 2022 Not many photos around online but no Iversen or Lawson in the ones I can find? Planning to go to Ipswich next Thursday if the weather behaves, would be nice to see this team start the season with a couple of positive results against the old enemy. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Social media bubble seems to have burst there was a time P and P would have seen loads attend and photos and comments uploaded to social media - it could be because the age of speedway fans now don’t do social media .

I remember not too long ago that P+P used to get decent crowds in attendance, bars were open and plenty of food wagons were there expecting a good days business.. At the old track the car park was often very well used by Aces fans.. Shows by how much, and how quickly, interest in league racing has been lost in the last 15 to 20 years in this country.. Still plenty of fans follow the sport tough, so that is a positive to try and harness, which is proven by the FIM events held over here, the SON last year, and this years British GP being two examples, and meetings like the Peter Craven Memorial on Monday show there is still a decent fanbase out there if they could be enticed back... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tellboy Posted March 25, 2022 Report Share Posted March 25, 2022 Maybe some fans don't go to P&P now because of social media.Plus with the Kerr meeting on Sunday many fans have seen the riders in real action. Back in the day when P&P was well attended you couldn't get to see anything online.Now people expect it to be online so they don't have attend a P&P. There is a good and a bad side to social media imo. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bagpuss Posted March 25, 2022 Report Share Posted March 25, 2022 To be fair to the club social media has been a lot better through the winter. My thought was that they've released few pictures etc as part of an agreement with the EDP & Lynn News but I could be wrong. Would be nice to know where Lawson was though, not ideal when riders are missing fr P&P. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NKI was there. TJ i believe was there in the morning, but had a plane to catch, so missed the evening. I didn't see Richard .

Bagpuss Posted March 26, 2022 Report Share Posted March 26, 2022 Seems from the Poole thread that Lawson is ill and from Oxford social media that Thomas cracked two ribs at Lewi's meeting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah they announced at the beginning of the p+p live stream at Poole that Lawson was ill and they were told the day before. They are hopeful he will be riding in Bjarne's farewell meeting. Not sure if KL have a meeting before Weds? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a bit irritating we have to find out about our riders from their other teams. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diamonds85 Posted March 27, 2022 Report Share Posted March 27, 2022 1. Niels Kristian Iversen 2. Thomas Jorgensen 3. Josh Pickering 4. Lewis Kerr 5. Richard Lawson 6. Richie Worrall 7. Jack Thomas 8. Jake Mulford Seemed to be the riding order based on the pictures I saw, can anyone confirm this? Not a terrible looking side once you have it out on paper, but still finish in the bottom 2 imo.

Take out NKI and Thomas and they are all proven Championship heatleaders!! The other teams must be amazing then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
