jenga 2,998 Posted September 17, 2014 thought olly would be as he stated during a meeting not that long ago that he could make THREE TIMES the amount of money riding in poland than riding in the uk. if thats the case olly. try putting a full season in poland next year and give the 2015 uk season a miss.thats if you are good enough. british speedway will never survive as its going now. fans need to stick 2 fingers up at the sport for a while and see how the riders like it having their bubble burst.. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If they brought juniors in to replace them, it would be a substandard product though, surely? Fans would then 'vote with their feet' even more. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fans would then 'vote with their feet' even more. it would be,but at least you know what you are going to pay to watch.Maybe it would highlight the facts to the BSPA and they would rectify the situation .I have always said you cannot predict what a speedway will turn out like entertainment wise ,the sport needs a major overhaul and it has to start soon.Too many riders just taking Britain and it's fans for a ride.We are not all mugs as the dwindling attendances are showing,I admit that for the first time this season I have missed matches because missing riders ect.

Shadders 4,135 Posted September 17, 2014 (edited) The whole things a piss take. Riders pulling out & stadium owners banning food and drink being bought in. If I wasn't coming up to bring B4e back daaan saaf I wouldn't bother going. I've very little interest in individual speedway, like some of the riders it seems Edited September 17, 2014 by Shads 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skoobie 46 Posted September 17, 2014 This sport is an absolute piss take! I only wish I'd known these riders would pull out before I pay my deposit & committed to the bus. I'm sad to say this but after all the going's on this season I'm afraid I feel ready for walking away from speedway. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
oldtimer 340 Posted September 17, 2014 Ban them all. Could not agree more, what a farce British speedway is, it would be great if there was an empty stadium on Sunday, but unfortunately people will still turn up even when they are treated like idiots.

cityrebel 2,960 Posted September 17, 2014 British speedway really looks beyond help. This season must rank as the worst in the post 1965 BL era. With a new national stadium on the horizon, the sport will be receiving its last rites by the time it is built. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
screm 8,057 Posted September 17, 2014 Its not to many moons ago that being PLRC or NLRC as it once was was a meeting every rider wanted to be in, and wanted to win even more. Thanks to the likes of Tungate, Allen and Vissing, and maybe one or two more before tapes up on Sunday, this meeting on Sunday is getting more of a second class status as time goes by.

Whisperer 276 Posted September 17, 2014 It's ever so simple, those clubs who do not commit their riders to national shared events do not receive a penny shareout from any event and face a mandatory scale fine for each rider. For example no shareout and £3,000 fine qed 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cityrebel 2,960 Posted September 17, 2014 The PLRC should be a compulsory event and those riders not attending should receive a ban. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Arson fire 4,785 Posted September 17, 2014 The whole things a piss take. Riders pulling out & stadium owners banning food and drink bring bought in. If I wasn't coming up to bring B4e back daaan south I wouldn't bother going. I've very little interest in individual speedway, like some of the riders it seems I'm not going this year, the past few years the organization has been pi55 poor, the egagerated waiting for the rain off, the state of the track the year before, the diluted field, the checking of bags like you are some sort of suicide bomber, and mainly the little jumped up hitlers treating the paying public like sh!t. The fours and pairs are a different class to attend, usually value for money and a good day/night out...the Plrc is usually not. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The fours and pairs are a different class to attend, usually value for money and a good day/night out...the Plrc is usually not. This will probably be my last time if it's held at Sheffield. It's the bag searching that's really hacked me off. Id usually spend a bit in the snack bar, the chicken wraps are pretty good, but I won't be spending a penny on any food or drink inside the stadium, because of the greedy stadium owners Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
