Which is laudable for me if that success brings untold fame and riches on a global scale.. However, winning any UK Speedway competition brings you none of this, so surely there has to be one day that will dawn when this realisation sets in, and several of them finally realise that they will get far more long term success if they invested in British young talent as a collective, nurtured it and developed it to the highest level... Making this country the clear No1 Speedway nation for several years would have a far, far greater positive impact to the sport in terms of publicity and sponsorship value than ANY team winning a domestic trophy.. Just like it worked in the 'halcyon days' of the 70's when England (as it was then) filled back pages of newspapers and had TV companies wanting to show coverage at peak time Saturday afternoon of their victories at World level.. Does anyone really think that would have happened if the Danes for example had ruled the 70's? Of course not.. If your team is doing well, the crowds will increase. Leicester, last season is a good example. How many of this seasons championship teams have two young brits at reserve this season (if it goes ahead). Leicester, Eastbourne and Belle Vue for starters, are there any others? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
