markyb 323 Posted August 23, 2017 (edited) been watching speedway updates on the Kings Lynn vs Wolverhampton and it is so sad to to see the level of riders making up the teams (mr Lindgren excepted) you only have to look at the match reports in speedway star each week and see the riders in reserve berth who would top any number one in almost every British premier side. the sport in the U.K. being run by too many old farts with their " fingers in the till " who are lining their pockets for their retirement - thank heavens for Ronnie and Terry as otherwise where would British Speedway be right now !!!

Are you kidding? Ronnie and Terry are half the problem. Wayne is the only one who's coming up with good ideas and they get shot down at every AGM. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ouch 1,191 Posted August 23, 2017 I'd expect to see Ronnie & Terry in the same sentence as fingers in the till but never expected it in this way. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
waiheke1 4,295 Posted August 23, 2017 Does anyone really think promoters are getting rich from speedway?!?! They may do an awful job running the sport, but the sport wouldn't exist without promoters and I would have thought more would be losing money than making it? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yep there will be plenty losing rather than gaining. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
