    Improving Speedway

    In this day and age, only top quality marketing and top quality entertainment is going to compete for peoples leisure time/money and attract new people into the sport. I got into Speedway a few years back, as did a few of my friends, mainly by following the results and reports on the back pages of the local newspaper. This tapped into a curiosity to see what it was all about, and now I'm a huge fan of the sport. Nowadays who actually buys a local newspaper?! So Speedway has lost a key marketing tool there. I think that a new Super League is needed, either a European one, or UK one that runs every fortnight on a Saturday afternoon/early evening (non GP weekend), where parents can take children of all ages and not have to worry about late nights. Make it a product, a whole afternoon's entertainment, get the riders there early interacting with the kids, have some mini bikes for them to have a go on on a course or something inside the track, have arcade machines with bike games, competitions, make having a bet on speedway easy at the track....anything to enhance the experience for the adults and kids alike. I'm sure TV would sponsor something like that with a lot more finance than they currently do the Elite League. Create new franchises for this new league, have a proper draft each year, and an auction for the first year for riders.....market the sport properly, not half-heartedly. Publish rules clearly, do not make up new rules as you go along, do not have an 'in the interest of speedway' get out clause to make up aforementioned new rules as you go along Maybe use Cardiff or Wembley once or twice a year and have a Speedway Carnival where each of the teams ride against each other back to back, four meetings in one day. Meanwhile the British League can run as it currently does through the week, albeit diluted in quality, maybe make it so that there has to be at least 3/4 British riders per team, and hopefully the league will benefit from the increased profile of the sport. These clubs would have to be subsidised in some way by the 'Super League' and maybe have standardised engines/bikes supplied by league to help reduce costs. I'm sure that if the league approached an engine manufacturer/chassis manufacturer they'd get a great deal for that much equipment. Riders can still tune them and tinker, but it wouldn't mean that the huge cost of buying engines, chassis and such is forced on them and in turn to the clubs. Ok, it's not an original idea, it probably has its flaws, but it has to be much much better than the gradual demise that we are currently experiencing of this great sport.
