How anyone could with a blank canvass create such a poorly designed track is beyond comprehension. They are coming up.! Cycle Speedway ace designed track .(I believe) Ask Sudden Sam (Ermalenko)what he thinks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With what's been happening in the last few weeks, looks likes NOBODY is running the sport !!! If nothing is done to stop this happening again ( same said most years by the way ) we won't have a sport in the future!!! I'm from Workington and a great new track is waiting to open, but I bet the people behind the venture are thinking what the hell is happening to speedway !!

Serious discussions/proposals/changes now need to be made so situations like this cannot happen again. Here's hoping ...... Has that been bumped from any season's thread from when this forum started? .. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

40-38 Posted November 2, 2022 Report Share Posted November 2, 2022 Just give Poole the bloody trophy. What's the point? Disgraceful set of affairs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Needs to be run as a 1 off final on the fairness of sport, home track advantage is a big thing in speedway. Great call... Could help advertise the meeting too to get some KL fans interested... Winner Takes All... Neutral track, no home advantage skewing the results... Best team wins.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Shovlar Posted November 2, 2022 Report Share Posted November 2, 2022 2 hours ago, iainb said: What does the oracle Shov say Well I should be shocked. Not at the obvious decision to use a different venue when the track couldn’t be fixed, but to use Kings Lynn? It’s a 5 hour 30 minute drive from Poole with one stop. Put it on a Friday with extra heavy traffic and it’s up to a 7 hour trip up. I have driven it many times in the past. Add in the price of fuel and that’s £150, plus £20 entry. Plus food. £180 for a trip up from Poole for the day. Rob is now not going and I would be surprised if there is no more than 30 Poole fans in attendance. Compared to the 300+ who would have been at the original running if it hadn’t been for the weather. But why on earth Kings Lynn? Poole fans have an easier trip to Belle Vue Manchester, at the other end of the country, then KL. We can get to BV in 4.30 mins, albeit slower on a Friday. Why wasn’t Oxford asked? Two hours from Poole, and less than that from Leicester. Oxford is closer to Leicester than Kings Lynn. Be lucky if there is 500 in attendance. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does it count as a neutral track with no home advantage as both teams have a rider who also rides for Kings Lynn? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should be a one off at a neutral venue not with the cheats already ridden their home leg. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
