StevePark 2,783 Posted December 13, 2016 Maybe you are right iris123. But crucially it doesn't help Speedway's credibility does it? So you would rather deny young riders the opportunity to ride and have them not run a team? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Neither do a thousand and one other things, like in a TV meeting when there's practically no-one there and you saw half of the riders riding for another team, a week or two before.

foamfence 2,917 Posted December 13, 2016 Well, I thought a big money man was taking over at Belle Vue? At this rate, they'll be asking Buxton if they can run there! I'm sure there must be some logic to this.........................but it is very well hidden! And I thought a temporary promoter was to be put in place for up to three years, as agreed between the BSPA and the council. Unless you know something I don't.

False dawn 2,298 Posted December 13, 2016 This is a kind of job sharing. Neither club clearly thought they could justify / support a full home programme so they take half of the "home" fixtures each. Once you get passed what we call the team it makes sense. Fans who are already supporting a Premier League club (we can hope) can support their junior side without going to 2 matches a week, every week. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
