Oxford Cheetahs v Poole Pirates Friday 31/7/26 19:30
Bitza replied to NumberEight's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
I'm a bit behind at the moment being stuck in a field near Barnsley, anyway from what I saw on the updates the Pirates really JUST got away with that one. One speedway rule I absolutely loathe is the strategic replacement one, I get ridiculously happy when it all goes wrong (cos I've never witnessed Poole use it before), but last night it was a godsend and gave the Pirates draw. Bad luck Cheetahs it is a cr.p rule. -

kevin bass replied to Daniel Smith's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
It'll probably be rinse and repeat again and try and run the top league with 5 teams if Sheffield don't run, and still try and call it the Premiership when they'll be next to bugger all actual top riders available to ride over here. -
Maybe was when he started Geoff, but if he is losing money every meeting, unfortunately it can't last, as your dream becomes a nightmare

Most overrated rider I have witnessed.Only can win of inside gate Armadale.Giving him the wild card to the GP Challenge was a joke. -

It’s concerning that we have heard nothing concrete with regards next year’s plans. I was happy to give people time in their new roles, Mark & Rob on the BSPL board with Mark additionally joining Speedway Futures at the end of January and then Richard becoming a promoter six weeks after that. Aside from the terrific work to get Northampton up and running what do we know is actually happening. There has been the usual calls in the press (independent, du’s, top riders, costs etc), that we all know about already but nothing definitive about speedway future. I do get the feeling we are just waiting to have our operating model thrust upon us by Poland if their Poland + 1 LEAGUE is implemented. That will impact many of the issues in brackets above though not the primary independent requirement. With the season all but done and dusted by the end of next month the lack of publicised activity is a worry (again). - Today

Andrew has allways said its a 10 yr plan at northside hopefully he fulfils his dream i for one will be their supporting him
-
I’m sure he would have been welcomed with open arms by the supporters 😂😂, I don’t want to cast aspersions but that’s twice if my mind isn’t playing tricks he should have raced down here and not turned up, poor chap i hope he gets better soon I’m sure he will be fit enough for Oxford/pooles next meeting

I mentioned on another thread I read an article on UK music festivals recently and outside of the ten massive events the rest are struggling with the article quoting a drop from an average of 1,000 events a year pre-covid to 500 ish now. The reasons quoted were just like speedway the same acts seen to often, cost of staging the events gone up massively since covid this led to large ticket price increases which punters no longer view as value for money, punters preferring events held in footy stadiums as better facilities than using blocked porta loos in fields. Stories from promoters who ran the events who had been making bigger and bigger losses year on year until they couldn't afford to continue.

Thanks for the reply it seems its the same story as most clubs ageing fanbase, cost of living, two many guests, more pull on the pound on your pocket from other leisure activites over the last 25 years.
