Unpopular Opinions - Speedway Edition

I think Buster Chapman has done great things for UK Speedway.

I think Rob Godfrey has too.

I think they are mostly to blame for bringing UK speedway to it's knees. It was stumbling badly when they took over with their loud-mouthed ( poorly thought through "tactics" ) One dead end thought after another - each of those has made the situation worse. They should hold their heads in shame but they are typical "I know I am right" kind of people and "damn you and what you think".  They are "My way or the highway" men, sadly. neither of them is interested in sincere feedback from supporters. They are both likely to "go down with the ship".

- Darcy Ward would never of been senior world champion

- Tracks like Newcastle can produce good racing just need good riders

Top riders who earn 100's of thousands of £'s in Poland and Sweden would all ride over here for thousands of £'s less per night if Speedway brought fixed nights in....

And if each club had three top riders each they would pack their stadiums out every meeting, so they could easily afford them..

Guess your proving the point of the topic. Namely that it is indeed "an unpopular opinion".

"The forum has become a platform for juvenile insults and personal attacks above reasoned debate"

How's that for you?

League speedway won't exist in the UK within five years

is that an unpopular opinion? It's one held by many.

Here's mine - i prefer NL/CL racing to PL and GP.

Mine was not an answer. it was my unpopular opinion. I linked it to yours to offer some balance. Now that popular opinion is being swayed ( by some ) towards Buster Chapman being a "saviour" of top league UK speedway in 2019, my firmly held opinion is much less popular than it was.
