Dedicated supporters who have been going for years suddenly stop going! Ever asked yourself why?

we started with a Team that looked likely to struggle and made changes. Not Promotions fault Adam missed so many matches unless you believe they signed him knowing he would miss them. They are "having a go" and good to see that with better weather and better performances crowds have built up well. I'm no expert on crowds but I would think at level of last few matches we would be OK financially but if form peters out and matches get less significant worry is fans drift away. Promotion between a rock and a hard place with Championship / National League, little supporter appetite for latter not quite enough yet to be secure in Championship. I'm more confident now of next season than at any point so far - hope I'm right

Where abouts are you......? send me at PM and I will see if any of our fans, riders or officials can meet you somewhere...

I was there last night .Very poor crowd for a local derby which turned out to be boring . if I hadn't met up with the usual friends I would most probably have left at the interval.No atmosphere , crap track, terrible racing. Good to see Ty back on form though.

Spot on jenga, love your posts, you certainly put the P in PR.

Surely Peterborough fans must be thanking Buster for moving Harris out to Ipswich, looking at his current form. Watching him in SON sums up where he is at now. Have to wonder now if his days are done.

Jason Doyle praising the track & work done by Dixie Dean & volunteers.... ''Credit where credits due! Swindon track staff done a great job yesterday in extreme heat to make that track not like a dust bowl. Dixie Dean & volunteers thank you. We have another good race track in England'' His words, not mine.

They are deluded that's why. They really beleive in the show they put on, and that they offer good value for money. The penny will finally drop when the stadiums are empty.

think he could have done a little better than one point though don't you

Yes Woffinden has every right to earn and ride wherever he wants to and fair play to him.But he cant make out he is as passionate about his country for me he has not shown that.Cant be bothered to do the British Final ( we could even seed him through) he has let us down as well in the past by not riding in other international meeting's.Why does he expect to be able to call the shots for me he has not earned it.Look he is a great rider but he still is nowhere near my alltime greatest top 10 riders ever.

Good meeting, especially heat 13 with Jason riding wide on bend 2 and passing on most bends. The whole team rode well and it was pleasing to see the reserves get 11+4 between them.

If do don't go you are not allowed to show an interest and are obliged to delete the sport from your life!

If he is losing money, it is his own fault. Nobody forced him to make the original team much weaker.

That's two leagues.

Like Shovvy says Josh is only a 2nd strong. Really thought in his early years he would go on to become a star attraction. Seems he has found his level. Maybe going to Poole has hampered his progress.

How will this impact on Ipswich ? We won't be the play-offs.

The rules are clear as mud.You just add ‘“in the best interest of the sport” on to the end of each.

I must agree with this

I honestly believe they don’t care if long term fans walk away if they did care they’d at least try to sort the problem out speedway in general make 0% effort in this.

That may be , but if the product poor as it seems, slow, poor quality racing no wonder going down, he needs to get the presentation & product better & then he might have a chance

Well done to all 7 Robins on a great win & good payday for all of them.

Sadly I have not seen a single meeting this season. Last season I went every meeting at Rye House except for the last one. I know it is possible for me to get to Poole, Peterborough, Isle of Wight and Belle Vue by train but all would cost a lot of money even with an advance rail ticket which given the British weather and fixture changes don't really seem a good idea. I am 65 and have been watching speedway since the age of 3. I don't expect Grand Prix stars for £5. Over the past couple of years I have been to two Junior Championship meetings at Rye House and very enjoyable they were. So I am a stay away fan who still follows the sport and would love to have a local track but after a lifetime with tracks all around London I now find I have no local Speedway or Stock Car tracks within a sensible distance which I find very sad and as a parting shot I pray that Galliard Homes find a massive sink hole and fall into it, having knocked down my second home, Wimbledon Stadium.

Jason is a good entertainer off track too, we will miss him in the after meeting clubhouse get togethers. You might need a bleep machine to edit some of his comments though.

Bit unfair imo. I think the level of Danish speedway is fairly good, mainly because they do have some strength in depth, and then add in a few decent foreign riders. I’d say, although I preferred the previous 6 man teams and it is hard to compare 5 man teams to 7, but it is probably a better level than the British level

We all know that was a bit optimistic - if unrealistic. I hope he has a speedy recovery.
