Bald Bloke Posted June 17, 2023 Report Share Posted June 17, 2023 Another close meeting . Artem should out do Max. The reserves could be pretty even. That leaves the engine room. Lawson might be Lynn's thorn in the side for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevehone Posted June 18, 2023 Report Share Posted June 18, 2023 If Fricke is as quick as he was on Thursday not even Artem will get near him 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mimmo Posted June 18, 2023 Report Share Posted June 18, 2023 Certainly has the makings of being a good meeting. Bald Bloke is right, Richard Lawson could cause us some problems, and the Fricke v Laguta clashes should be worth the admission money alone. You can't beat live speedway, with its atmosphere, which you don't get on TV. So I hope the 'Stars' fans still come along and support their club. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not also just about live speedway, I know lynn fans are down in the dumps, and rightly so but go just to see laguta because watching world class speedway riders in UK is at a premium, and the difference between them and good riders is actually massive. M fricke also riding like a world class rider right now so my advice to you lynn fans, put your anger to one side and go enjoy them while we have them and support your club because your club needs you 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stopping at home watching it on TV (especially KL fans) will not be helping their/our club financially. If we want to carry on seeing riders like Artem Laguta every week, then the club needs their admission money to help make that happen. We've got an undefeated World Champion in our team, so lets savour every meeting we've got him. I noticed the crowd was well down on last weeks televised meeting at Ipswich, and that's not going to help them keep Emil Sayfutdinov, who they quite rightly adore, which would be a shame. East Anglia currently have what I consider the two best riders currently racing in British Speedway, and the only way we're going to keep them here, is by going along and supporting their respective clubs, even when TV cameras are there. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you know what extra initiatives Lynn have put in place to attract a crowd along to this televised meeting? Do you know what they have planned to fill the huge gaps in racing? Are they showing the broadcast on their big screen so the attending fans can watch along with the analysis, interviews and reports from other meetings? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need to incentivise folk to not take the easier and cheaper option of watching it in their own front room. All very well people saying that we all SHOULD pay to enter the stadium on top of fuel, possibly food and drink and finishing work early for some of us rather than watching it at home for free but the club needs to make an effort to encourage people to do that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do understand that, I honestly do. But people come along when it's not on TV despite the things you mention, which I appreciate is a lot of money. Nobody surely are watching it for free on TV, as you're having to pay for a package that includes Eurosport, or purchase Discovery+ I'm not trying to pick holes in your thoughts, because we are all entitled to our own opinions, and I respect yours, but as a matter of interest, what do you personally think would entice people to attend, that now don't intend doing so. Just asking that's all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Racin Jason 72 Posted June 18, 2023 Report Share Posted June 18, 2023 You could have a meet and greet with Artem laguta and he can have selfies with the fans and sign autographs. anyone who gets a selfie gets asked to put it on social media and all those that participate get put in a draw for a pair of free tickets. you could do a pit walk also. All this costs nothing but gives the full price paying punter something extra which the tv fan doesn’t get. Also the tv coverage of the signing session and pit walk may tempt some to return next meeting. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scoobydoo Posted June 18, 2023 Report Share Posted June 18, 2023 (edited) There would be far more interest generated if people could pay a few pounds to be pictured with Lynn's most prized possession The pit gate hinge Edited June 18, 2023 by scoobydoo 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lynn has their the same. Riding order has been shuffled. I can imagine they're anticipating having to make a change for MPT as he's likely to be out for around 6 weeks. Could be seeing 2 new faces as it seems like Pickering is back off to Sheffield. I have this as our new rider order with some bargain replacements coming in: 1. AL 2. MPT replacement 3. TJ 4. FJ replacement 5. NK 6. KT 7. JE 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gasser90 Posted June 18, 2023 Report Share Posted June 18, 2023 (edited) You can almost guarantee Simon lambert will get a spot, to be fair he is banging in some big scores for Scunthorpe…… he will definitely match if not better what jakobsen was doing Edited June 18, 2023 by Gasser90 Added extra 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just asking that's all. I'd say it essentially is 'free' because I already pay for a telly package which includes Eurosport. Its a monthly cost within the household budget. A slightly reduced admission cost, perhaps a free programme, maybe a free seat in the grandstand, some kind if entertainment for the ad breaks either on the big screen or the centre grey, perhaps some junior races. Just something different, something extra. As for the meeting, Leicester look too strong down the order to me. Looks like 40-50 ish to me. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
