How about something like cricket covers for the bends. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Makes you wonder how they managed when they had twice as many teams in the same league. Covid and all the other excuses are just that, excuses. A major restructure is needed otherwise shut up shop and let each track do its own thing unless a few clubs can get together for match racing. Clearly the current custodians of the sport are not up to the job and they should stop pretending everything is OK. Hey you lot in charge, it is crap, get a grip and sort it. Oh you can be sure if there's a way to screw up, then the BSPL will leave no stone unturned to find it 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hawk127 1,359 Posted October 4, 2021 Currently 2065 following the updates. Says it all really. Stream a meeting at £10 a pop and that is not bad. Accept not all would join the stream but those not on the updates might so it’s swings and roundabouts. Given the way the sport is going why give it to Discovery, do your own thing BSPL and FIM sell it direct to the fans if as it seems the only way we will get to watch it is on-line.

Some you win some you lose but I guess many a supporter would like to see a meeting that in normal circumstances they would never travel to the track but you could add a few more of the supporters of both clubs taking part. It will not happen but we live in hope Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
