None I'd wager. But how many thinking of attending Mildenhall will be disappointed by the news and might even consider not attending? 1 ride at Belle Vue or ride at no.1 for Mildenhall, get 10 rides and help your club in two major trophy meetings. A no brainer real, eh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruno Posted October 26, 2022 Report Share Posted October 26, 2022 Is there a reason this is starting at 7.45 instead of say 7 at the latest. Just seems madness to me 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A no brainer real, eh? Yet another "National Title" that gets devalued by the very organisation that runs them... If they dont take them seriously, then why expect the fans to... No real point attending the "qualifiers" throughout the season is there, when the finals dont seem to matter.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Come on the Skipper Posted October 26, 2022 Report Share Posted October 26, 2022 Edwards is riding according to Mildenhall's Facebook https://www.facebook.com/photo?fbid=618694299687084&set=a.578587147031133 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hawk127 Posted October 26, 2022 Report Share Posted October 26, 2022 Given that Sheffield have a meeting in November why can’t Mildenhall pick a Saturday or Sunday in early/mid November to run these meetings rather than a off night when few will bother to traipse across country to watch late night speedway? Feel for the riders as well as the supporters who deserve more respect. Says it all about how the sport is run in this country and those in charge who continually stick two fingers up at all and sundry. They will only learn if fans boycott meetings but that will not happen but collectively supporters need to do something to teach these morons a lesson. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think 1000's of fans of the sport already "boycott" meetings each week... What you have left are the true die hards who will accept any Speedway put in front of them, regardless of whether it is a credible offering, has integrity, or is even worth winning... Luckily for the promoters, "just enough" of these people will never stop going, meaning promoters can carry on season in, season out, running the sport the way they want... A pity... It wouldn't take any more money at all to run the sport properly, and would get a fair few thousand more "lapsed fans" through the turnstiles each season too I would suggest... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a start but a decent fixture planner may help, I'm sure more would go to finals than will on cold damp November night 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
