Why is speedway in decline?
Mick Bratley replied to Youhave2minutes's topic in Speedway News and Discussions
I’ll also add, taking a victory lap after winning a race. Riders, just bloody do it, it costs you naff all and you’re doing it for the people who contribute towards your wages. Take it a step further collect the team flag every time and take that on your victory lap with you. -
I joined BSF at the beginning of 2010 when my son started riding at amateur level. At the time, it was the place for all the information & updates on amateur meetings, riding equipment buying & selling and was invaluable for technical help on bike maintenance etc. Sadly that section of the forum has been inactive for a number of years. I think that as smart phones became more widespread, Facebook groups took over from Internet forums. It was my first foray into the world of social media and I was surprised by the level of unpleasantness on here. It seems some people are incapable of processing opinions that differ to their own without resorting to belittling & random rudeness. I guess that applies to social media in general though, which is why I avoid it. When I first joined, Speedway was in a lot more people's living rooms because of the Sky coverage, so there was always plenty to discuss, but the only Speedway I see now is the GP so I don't contribute as much these days. I still visit regularly though to catch up on what's going on. I know that even after 16 years I'm still a relative newbie compared to some but it's good to still see familiar names that have been here for my entire BSF journey 🙂

Thoroughly enjoyed last nights match. Given the conditions, the track was a significant improvement and both teams were very competitive.Good to see Anders show some form. Onwards and upwards! -

As much as I would like that, I think it will be an easy win for the aces . Our team is far too inconsistent snd their heat leaders will far out score ours. keeping Batchelor was a terrible decision. Updates for the last meeting said he was tootling around at the back, not trying. That’s him to a tee. job on the line at Leicester, top scorer with best meeting of the season. job safe at Lynn, awful score which cost us the win, despite him being at reserve. A total waste of space - Yesterday

The thing that annoys me more than anything is that it costs nothing to fix certain aspects of the sport, for example rider presentations/introduction's before a meeting, every single meeting I have been to this season has been an absolute shambles. All tracks should have a riders briefing meeting before every meeting telling the riders exactly how the introductions are going to take place and what is expected of the riders. -

The sport has given itself a shot in the arm. Another large dose of morphine! -

A little harsh on a technicality me thinks! But have to say I'm not really fussed either way.
