    UK speedway slowly dying

    This Chris Mackett, I assume? https://wwosbackup.proboards.com/thread/1813/chris-mackett
  4. My first live meeting for 4 years and it was pretty decent to be fair. 2 full strength teams, close score throughout and some decent racing at times. And to top it all neither Poole nor O*ford won lol. What's not to like?

    Poole 1983.

    I recall Lee winning the Adver Superstars meeting at Swindon in '83. He broke the track record whilst pulling wheelies down the straights on the last couple of laps of one heat. Such skill...

    Attila Stefani rode for Oxford as Mark Frost.

    Swindon Robins 2020

    Exactly. The damage is already done. They can ride things out as they already have the financial foundation in place from the early batches of houses. I'm just flabbergasted it's taken so long for so many to realise as Stadia Uk / Gaming International have such a history of this at other places.

    Swindon Robins 2020

    All part of the GI plan. The longer they drag it out, the more the interest dies. The days of the initial passion and mobilisation in the town against the first redevelopment announcement are a distant memory...

    First meeting-how many riders still alive.

    Pretty sure Jon Erskine and John Bishop are still about. Not sure about Roger White.

    First meeting-how many riders still alive.

    Olle Nygren has also now sadly passed away from the Ipswich team.
  18. Reading today's article in the Speedway Star about the various rules and regs across the leagues, it just shows how shambolic the sport is. Basically, different rules to decide meetings in each league - talk about over-complicated!!
