Why is speedway in decline?
RS50 replied to Youhave2minutes's topic in Speedway News and Discussions
My thoughts on the decline. 1 Amount of entertainment per match. When I first started going, typically 21 races including 2nd half. Now it's 15. 2 Prices. Saw an article mentioning prices ( for a top division match) in the 80s. Had admission only gone up by inflation would about £9 adults, and £5 pensioners. Now more like £25/£23. This means the price per race has increased from around £0.43 to £1.66 for adults, and £0.24 to £1.53 pensioners. 3 Amount of time a meeting now takes. Seems to take longer now to do 15 races, than it did 21, many years ago. Recently went to Buxton. 3pm start, had hoped that all 15 main races and the extra MDL races would have been completed by 5pm. At 5.15, only 12 races had been completed, and they announced there would be an interval. At this point I left. Many followed. Some were departing as early as race 8. Will those people go back?. Simply taking longer to do less is not more entertaining. 4 "Gardening" at the tapes. Just boring to watch. 5 Dodgy call offs. 6 Lack of loyalty to long term fans. Seems to be some very good offers to potentially new and younger fans. All we regular fans seem to be getting is "the match has been called off" Someone is kicking a ball about/ there's something on the telly. We waited long enough for this year's fixtures, could at least try to stick to them. Not all speedway fans like football. Don't they matter? -
It's already extended and won't expire until mid August.

As much as Coleman speaks common sense I’m pretty sure any new promotors can’t say or do or vote on anything for at least 2 years ! Such has the man at the top got a hold over everybody and because they can’t vote that means they can’t vote to get him out either, even with Coleman’s SGP power, when it come to British speedway. He can’t really do anything until Godfrey says he can after the 2027 season is finished -
You may mock, it's your right to do so but wait until the latest polish dictatorship of world speedway kicks in and the only riders left in this country will be very young or very experienced. The standards of the national league will be the norm.

Wonder if Doyle will carry on with Aces after his 28 day contract expires? Not much of an off last night, packed his bags and out of pits during meeting, not that he’s any loyalty to Lemon or the Aces but if wasn’t something requiring medical/hospital attention riders usually stay in pits with their team mates. Suppose we’ll see soon enough

Who is this 🤡 ??!!!

2024 rule was, No team changes will be allowed once that club has completed 75% of their League Competition fixtures. its difficult keeping up with speedway rule changes.

Another excellent meeting for Blodorn. He’s riding well.

Maybe Doyly pulling out of the meeting (with very painful rib injury) could be the reason the aces capitulated to defeat But maybe not. After all, he had ran a distant third in his fist race, and his two remaining programmed rides yielded a win and strange decision by Lemmon to put in Z Cook. Yes he may have featured in heat 15 but it would have been hard to justify given the performance Norick was putting in throughout the meeting and certainly no gurantee that he would have bettered both Leicester riders Fundamentally, Whereas the Aces got off to an absolute flyer in the first five heats the Lions were none existent. The stats make interesting reading. In the first five heats, a Lions rider finished last four times conceding four heat advantages as the aces raced to a 12 point lead. In the next nine races Lions finished last just once, notched up seven heat advantages to lead by four points with just heat 15 remaining where they duly collected the required two points. On balance, I would say the turning point wasn't the loss of JD but the much improved performance across the board by all of the Lions riders from heat six onwards.
