Why, do you want to come.

The fundraising is geared around Speedway GP's being on the TV. The people who come are speedway fans, generally about 100 or so and these happen 10 times per year

I could of course have a chat with the FIM and see if on Quins home match days they wouldn't mind changing them

On the other hand why I have them on Saturdays is not anybody elses business

Am i right? next home game on sunday?

so Saturdays are fine for speedway?

For goodness sake, its happens 400 yards from my house which is about 60 miles closer than Quins, happens at 6pm although preparation starts at 3pm and its a worldwide sport which is dictated to in terms of timing by TV. Its completely irrelevant.

The 10 BBQ's we do are meetings from countries other than the UK.

Maybe I could send you my wekly Saturday itinary and you can examine my private life a bit further and see whether you approve of my movements

You are still ignoring the issue which is not me but the shocking crowds and the fact that nothing is being done. Still I bet its far more exiting worrying about what I do on a Saturday

And how much media publicity and attendance does speedway attract?

At Gp's, an average of 20,000 at each event, at the British GP at Cardiff, around 45,000

There are of course 3 leagues of speedway in the UK, 9 in the top flight, 14 in the 2nd Division and 10 in the 3rd level and do you know what ?

Not one of them chooses to ride their meetings at the same time as other more popular sporting events in the same city

Average crowds at a league meeting, anything from 4000 to 800 ! Each club rides at home every week. When we had speedway in Oxford it NEVER rode at the same time as Oxford United

Oh dear you are struggling to get it aren't you ?

Speedway is not consciously choosing to compete with other sporting events in the same city at the same time

In fact I cannot think of another sport that does

For a starter- What about Rugby Union and in particular Harlequins

What about Cricket, Ice Hockey..........

cheese burgers? speedway? semi-pro soccer? anything else you put ahead of RL? knitting?

Pro soccer that gets more fans going away that Quins at home.

As for the BBQ's, its charity fund raising you prat

Its my choice to put those ahead of RL and to be honest its got f**k all to do with you. You make your choices in life and I will make mine. Its not your business to question what I do.

The points I continue to make are not about me, simpltons like yourself have decided to personalise it. I actually want Quins RL to be around for years to coem because then at some point I can return.

You keep your head in the hand and convince yourself that everything is rosy.

this is the Market we should be going after

cheese burgers

Pardon me? I don't think any one on here at all believes everything is rosy with Quins RL!!!!
