Cut the costs and the entry prices and the fans may come back. The biggest issue is how do you stop the likes of the bspa continually screwing the sport up. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Daniel Smith 5,659 Posted June 28, 2018 We'll get into a situation where Rye House moves to a Saturday but the away clubs refuse to reschedule the fixtures. Same if Belle Vue go Friday's, clubs will refuse to move their original dates. With Denmark, Poland and SEC, GP practice running Friday's, Poland, SEC, SGP Saturday's a change to the calendar now is pretty much a no go. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And whatever people thought of the guests and R/R crowds were much larger cos they rode on there preferred race night They let Swindon stay on Thursdays, so I don't see what the problem is. If belle vue wanted to go back to Friday's, would they let the aces fold. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cut the costs and the entry prices and the fans may come back. The biggest issue is how do you stop the likes of the bspa continually screwing the sport up. You only need to look at the current Lakeside team to prove what can be done. They have a decent couple of H/L in Morris and Lawson - good middle order riders such as young Ellis and not so young but not old Newman - Good lower order in young Zach - Good N/L rider with experience in Morley and and a young improving N/L rider who didnt come into the sport so young in Bowtell who is improving with racing. Its the kind of thing I have been advocating taking combining both leagues into one, and then combining the riders from Prem/Champ and N/L. This way we get to see the best of all 3 Worlds. Can't believe that those with a willing to do it can't come up with something to make it work, otherwise i fear for our Sport at top level. Lakeside from a media perspective have also shown how it can be done as get daily twitter reports as well as race clips etc daily to keep all in the loop. They also do plenty for young fans which is also well recorded and shown. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It was only changed to Wednesday because of some Championship club failing to agree. They should have stuck to their guns & forced it through. By switching to the Wednesday night, t has caused problems for any club that has Danish riders. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He may be an Aussie but fair to say we can count his as a kind of permanent resident of UK during at least the Summer as with most of the Aussies. Can't say that about the Swedes/Poles and some Danes (not all as know the likes of NKI & Klindt live here for family reasons). Take the likes of Sundstrom at Poole - POL Sun - Swe Prem Tue -- Poole Wed or Mon - Swe lower div Thur - Plus he lives in SWE - How much is that travelling costing and we wonder why his form is more down then up for Poole.
