I've been suggesting that Speedway go the way of Cricket for the last few years, but sadly I don't think they're even comparable anymore in terms of media contracts. I heard the other day that The Hundred is run by the same company that stages the IPL Cricket, so a multi-national company a bit like WBD and not some rag tag collection of ex scrap metal dealers. According to reports the TV contact is worth £220m a year... as opposed to the £1m per year for Speedway!! The only way British Speedway will attract the world class performers every match is to pitch it to the TV companies asking for money that would blow Polish Speedway out of the water, probably something like a £50m-£100m a year contract... unfortunately it's likely that any such proposal would be laughed out of the building starting from such a low base.

THJ knows the score -
Not sure what the people in charge at the moment can do to be honest the horse has long bolted ...what do you expect them to do ? Most Speedway teams rent off there landlords and those staduims are being sold off one by for Houses. again not sure they can do about that..Why Promsing riders have been lost to the sport because of the rules ? Can give us some examples ?

It started from around ht 2 from a group beside the pit entrance, the security did go and speak to them but it didn’t seem to do anything really they just got worse as the meeting went on -
That's called sponsors like worky are sponsored by Glasgow 😀

That was for 2024 after we lost Peterborough and Wolverhampton, and the Premiership was facing going down to 5 teams. Chris Louis was considering opening at Northampton to give an extra track. In the end Birmingham moved up and Oxford did all leagues, so the Premiership was back to 7, and Northampton wasn't needed.
