    sadly however most clubs aren't interested in running any level of second halves so the numbers and opportunities diminish even further. I in 100 may not be great but if you consider how many are taking up the sport each year 50 maybe? the figures look a lot worse.

    If the price keeps going up I'd rather lose it. I'll content myself with a few amateur meetings and some grasstrack.

    I would rather see a race than Jason Doyle fly out of the traps and win by a mile, Belle Vue if they track the roughly the same 1-7 will have no out and out number 1, but we should have a team of racers, good racing gets people talking. Boring races don't. J Doyle is a great rider and I enjoyed watching him round the NSS. but I would sooner watch a close exciting race and that IMHO is what promoters should be striving to do by improvements to their race tracks.

    Big financial differences between the two although high level team sports join a bubble and remain within it throughout travels etc. Individuals however will end up like the Tennis players in Aus at present i suspect. It could work if the same 7 riders rode for the same team in Poland, England and Sweden but as its all such a mish mash i fear all the Uk will see is UK based riders.

    As should have been done donkeys years ago... They had a good system in the 70's through to around the mid to late 80's.. And then stopped following it..

    And given the quarantine rules are fast changing and more and more countries will be added to the list of those you need to spend (at your own cost), ten days in a hotel quarantining, I would think any overseas riders are at risk of not riding a full season.. Poland will be pulling up the drawbridge too I would suggest and expect all with contracts to stay permanently over there.. Given the vaccine issues Europe has, this wont end this summer..

    The point exactly, the sport needs to get the tracks to produce racing not gate and go crap that does nothing for no one. Good racing will attract fans, that and getting back to encouraging teams to sign just our own locally grown talent will go a long way to avoiding problems like the Polish league rules in the future.

    unfortunately i cant see josh returning till 2022, but hope im wrong why would any aussie without a guaranteed place in pol/swe chance the Uk league.

    As far as I recall, that was to allow him to do the French league as well as Poland, Sweden and UK. As the French league is not fully pro and happens mainly before the Polish season starts, they gave the Ok for him to do that as an extra. However, it looks like he has signed in Denmark and Sweden instead of the UK as his other 2.

    You need to get them there in the first place. As an example (and no disrespect to anyone) imagine that you are used to watching Jason Doyle, Troy Batchelor and Rasmus Jensen and then your top 3 riders become Chris Harris, Scott Nicholls and Edward Kennet and you have to pay the same admission. Apart from the die hards, how do you get fans to attend? Remember - value for money.

    Good point you make regarding the checks on bikes , considering the amount of stolen bikes heading to Europe Hopefully more checks will also find some of the many stolen Sprinter & Transit vans that end up in Poland , Romania etc.

    Lots of people have had Flu these past 12 months or so, most without hospitalisation, plenty of others have had Covid, thankfully most have survived, unfortunately thousands haven't. Selfish people like you are the reason we are still fighting this pandemic.
