With thanks to your help we got our 4 tickets on the back straight OK. Looking at the cheapest (350PLN) tickets the back straight has all but sold out but bends 3&4 are almost all available and on bends 1&2 only the first few rows are available. About £72 is expensive, especially for Poland but I suppose compared to even League One football it’s not too bad for us. The £72 covers entry to the SGP2 on the Friday night too. Anyway it was either pay £72 or just have a weekend in Łòdź.

No... They just leave Speedway... Adrian Smith a case in point. . He had very limited knowledge of Speedway when he became CEO at BV, but was "blown away" by the core, raw product that took place, and saw huge untapped potential... Unfortunately he was less "blown away" by the operating model around it, and several of those who delivered such a model... One of a good number who knew what was needed, but stopped from doing anything, so those "tiny, tiny empires", many of which want so many different things from fhe sport, could keep doing the same thing ad infinitum...

Would rather have him with us than against us.

Clearly it’s not going to materialise.

Anyone sponsoring Batchelor with dummies this season. I’ve seen him spit a lot out in my time.

Little bit of a harsh statement

Caught any vernerial diseases

Wouldn’t mind buying that radiator

They should be stripped of the title 😊

This league should be as low cost as possible entry level to the sport( a paying hobby at this level) ,riders should not be expected to have all the "bells and whistles " equipment of the upper leagues . Decent reliable and affordable bikes within set parameters should be mandatory, so riders can improve their skills and not win or progress due to deep pockets .

And condoms

Yes going in next week to have my hemmoroids sorted.Best news for me yet.

But not sugar, salt or honey.

As do hard hats

No it isn’t sensible, the control board should set out a pay structure and enforce it and riders either take it or leave it, if an amateur rider can’t make it pay that’s tough, it’s amatuer, until we get away from entitlement for riders we will never move forward, nobody wanted to listen when I tried to cut costs for riders, well fine you made your bed don’t complain when the springs stick in your back . I don’t care how any promotion make their money or how much money they haven’t got all I care is the future of the sport and at the moment it doesn’t have one

A sensible post on bsf, you be careful. I would like to add that It shouldn't be any of our business either or how any promotion make their money , be it selling badges or robbing banks.

I wasn’t actually thinking outside speedway but yes you are 100% correct it is the world

Not just here in Speedway either Isn't that very much the way of the world in general at present

Maybe the week after, who knows 😅

I am surprised because when you know and chat to the people involved in the sport they all see the issues and problems and some even have great ideas and solutions but when they get together they seem to suffer group think and those ideas disappear into outer space. Something that always resonates with me was a conversation I had when I was working for Adam skornicki, Adam is a deep thinker about the sport and despite not being credited with it a major influence in the continued polish rider gravy train, anyway I asked Adam why he doesn’t get the top jobs in Poland and he said because all that happens is you become one of them, your ideas are sucked up and spit out and nothing changes and I can’t be that person, is that what happens here?

I think we shall hear something later this week or possibly early next week. 😉

I don’t buy into this rule, imo this ageist rule has been a big contributor to the lack of riders in the sport over a couple of decades now, I think the national league should be open to any rider no matter how old or how experienced they be, if they want to ride in it then they should be allowed to, the only thing is they ride for £20 per point and no more and that should be sufficient to limit the number of experienced riders who are just there for a pay day which unfortunately is allowed to happen too many times, it’s an amateur league with too many expectant professionals in it, I’ve been in and around the national league probably more than anyone else, I’ve seen the changes, the rules, the money and the jealousy from the higher up clubs and the riders walk away from the sport and to me we are just doing the same thing and expecting a better outcome but isn’t that speedway all over

It is a total sh*tshow isnt it?.. But.. Let's be honest.. Anyone who has followed UK Speedway for any decent length of time, are not really surprised in any way shape or form are they?... Just par for the course...
