| If the owners of the club are serious about taking the club forward they need to get speedway back.
It would only cost a couple of hundred thousand to get the ground ready for it and then you get at least half a dozen meetings with as many as 400 fans using the ground when there isn't a rugby game on.
It's not rocket science!

| They should go for all out entertainment and have the speedway on whilst the match is being played

| They should give the bikes for the Players use during the match, it should bring it up to NRL pace!

| Yeah, and the route under the Coral Stand/Our Conference Facility/Southbank will be awesome. A teensy bit like that European Grand Prix where they disappear into tunnels and you have to wait to see who is in the lead as they come out. Maybe the structure's supporting metalwork could be rearranged into a chicane, that would really liven up proceedings. Maybe we should also get Fred Paddybet to come and give some odds?

| The days of large speedway crowds have now gone with satellite TV. I used to go with my dad and it was fun but it left the ground , terraces and seating filthy. It would cost a lot of money to set it all up again - far too much than it would bring in - even if we could make the physical changes.
Another one of Maccbull's statements.

| Why couldnt you just put plastic covers all over the stand and terraces and then take it off after the speedway?
Also to make it more exciting they could make it a 20mph limit round the Coral Stand end, with a speed camera and if you set it off you get 3 points.
Also now that the speedway pits are gone, they could do a deal with a local garage - there's a motorbike place on Stadium Raod - so the bikes could drive up there to be serviced.
I think my best idea though is instead of keeing to a standard oval, they could go up to the top of the banking, along the top road, and then back down the other side. The two 270 degree bends to get back down onto the pitchside would be very exciting and would catch some of them out, I can tell you.
I'm looking forward to it.

| Some excellent ideas there FA.
Another idea could be to combine the bikes and rugby into a motorsport-league type game where the players are pillions on the bikes and have similar rules to RL - I can see this catching on big-style

| Speedway AND Stockcars for me. And to save money you could run the meetings at the same time. Stock cars clockwise and the bikes anti clockwise, one set of stewards, staff, turnstiles etc... make a killing

Would have slightly different outcome if Ethan Ryan puts in one of his trademark dives to the corner. He'd become roadkill.

That's the next RFL punishment soon to be issued. The opposition get motorbikes when they play us...

| Don't think the RFL would care for the concept of some of the motorsports though.
For instance; stock cars, where newcomers with no track record actually get to start at the front and have a different coloured roof (white) to signify that they are newbies (real newbies are even allowed to paint a black cross over their white roof to signify that they would like to be treated gently) On the other hand, the RFL would have them starting at the back with a big target painted on to the back of the car...and probably only allow them half the petrol needed...

Bloomin RFL pets those newbies
