magnus 80 Posted October 18, 2014 What's the date for the 2015 general meeting? What's your views guys on how we could improve British Speedway? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gemini 4,894 Posted October 19, 2014 (edited) By the lack of response I think you'll gather most of us have given up trying to suggest things to improve speedway. Since 2010 every season has been worse than the one before - riders missing supposedly injured or ill although still riding everywhere but the U.K., lack of continuity, guests, no matches in the height of Summer then trying to cram everything in during the middle/end of October, badly prepared tracks, riders returning to the pits after a false start, races taking forever to start due to all the gardening and messing about. There's my reply and I fully expect season 2015 to be pretty much the same as this one - crap. Edited October 19, 2014 by Gemini 19 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Grand Central 2,654 Posted October 19, 2014 Have to agree Gemini. The great thing we do here is discuss things that may, or may not happen ... at great length. And I love doing that But when it comes to the BSPA AGM, it is utterly pointless. They will decide what they want. Or not. Any views we may have are of no interest whatsoever. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

THE DEAN MACHINE 4,748 Posted October 19, 2014 (edited) I have been to one . Imagine all the great minds of the world sat in a room ,then think of the exact opposite ,throw in a gabel and a points limit and there you have it. Seriously it needs an independant body to run speedway and the bspa to run their teams within the rules set by the body Edited October 19, 2014 by THE DEAN MACHINE 15 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mikebv 10,281 Posted October 19, 2014 (edited) Read somewhere 16th - 18th November I believe that at least 12 promoters cannot make those dates so the BSPA have drafted some guest promoters in for 10 of them and 'Promoter replacement' is being used for the other two.....

Interesting someone else states post 2010 as the start of a big decline in British speedway .Coincidental that was when new silencers were introduced ! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bellers101 347 Posted October 19, 2014 Totally fed up of guests and doubling up and down riders. Love the basics of the sport but dont go anymore due to the farcical rules. Prefer to just watch the GPs, a real competition on TV. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I wasn't thinking of silencers. You've got a point though which is probably correct. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Halifordukesfan 60 Posted October 20, 2014 There's got to less meetings in a season,less competitions. Quality over quantity 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Brilliant post mike, In order to save costs of this meeting a few promoters are going to double up or treble down. An email was sent the bspa announcing that at long last he has come up with a major sponsor for speedway. What they were not told was that the sponsor is only paying for the drinks at the agm.
