R/R for cookie. Promotion are awful. R/R isnt too bad, but they aren't keeping us in the loop at all. Is he banned? Has he quit? No one knows -
I've been to the meeting s at Foxhall this season and haven't noticed any decline from last season. In fact, the new TV screen has added to the experience and once they get interviews onto that for the crowd to hear it will be even better. Some people just love to moan.

I gave my reasoning in a follow-up post. Better than Doyle is subjective in terms of team benefit. At the NSS not many score more than Bewley but they will win all their home fixtures anyway. Away from there it's not so certain.

It's a bit like formula 1,,massive crowds for that, a tiny percentage for club racing

The GP's showed that there is still very much a market out there for Speedway,... Around a million quid would have been taken in ticket sales... The challenge is engaging many of those fans who attended the GP's to attend domestic Speedway regularly.. Me and my lad were stood with four Aces followers who, like us both, don't bother with the run of the mill league racing... There are definitely enough followers out there to significantly improve its position if the sport can sort itself out and engage them..

Just shut it down, and everyone can move on with their lives.

BERWICK v GLASGOW (CL) Saturday, June 13th (7pm)

Should be an easy win for Berwick. Glasgow have too many variables in their 1-7. Harris, Flint and Howarth should score well but it’s anybody’s guess how the other four will do. Meanwhile, Berwick look strong - at home anyway - and being led by the self styled chosen one - who has to now be thought of as an honorary Englishman - will spur them on. -
Why? They weren't nailed on with Bewley, who is better than Doyle!

Most meetings over the past decade or so have become pretty much "Speedway for the sake of it"... Given so many promoters fund a hobby plenty of what we have now is "Speedway for the sake of it".. Hence, nothing is even considered to not be fit for purpose, therefore nothing radically changes and each season morphs into the last one.. Without these hobbyists though there wouldn't be Speedway, given there doesn't appear to be a long line of others to take over their tracks..

Working overtime? -
I cannot believe that something like this would ever happen... As it would directly impact the considerably high level of integrity and credibility that UK Speedway continually, and proudly, displays ..

For me, in the UK, the sport exists to provide a hobby for many of fhe promoters, and an income stream for lads who want to ride a Speedway bike.... No more, nor less, than that... Continuous contrived septets, put randomly together almost 200 times a season, on an ad hoc basis, suggests the sport certainly isnt set up to have its leagues as its major selling point... -

The size of the sport in the UK makes it perfect for it to be a feeder league to Poland... I would go as far as to say that UK clubs should form links with them... The BSB deliver a great product using some old heads, some young UK riders, and some young riders from Europe, Japan, and Australasia who are not ready for the higher echelons.. They ensure that the talent they "lose" to MotoGp and WSB as the best riders, organically, move through the levels, get replaced by the next riders in line, due to running several lower classes including youth racing... They don't rely on other competitions to bale them out, nor allow other competitions to impact their fixture schedule... In short. They know their place and cloth is cut accordingly.. The result is a strong competitive format... Given the amount of young Poles who ride Speedway there will be a surplus of reasonable talent that cannot get team places, therefore, the UK should enable them to ride over here as part of their development.. In any business, why wouldn't a smaller entity try and forge great relations with the biggest business in their industry?... UK Speedway is now at a point where it needs significant help, and a conveyer belt of riders from the No1 Speedway nation on earth would certainly help them.. And, at the same time, help Poland with their overall rider development... -

Very funny ad popped up as I was scrolling through this thread - a high street cash dispenser with long and orderly queue of grey haired people wearing glasses. Those algorithms obviously have a good sense of humour!
