Tsunami 10,219 Posted October 4, 2016 Very sad to hear this after all the attempts to keep going, with unnecessary interruptions and incidents. Obviously some will be rubbing their hands, but I just hope there is someone trustworthy out there who can stand up to it and make the thing work. It's difficulty is it's remoteness, but if you have a great home following you can make it. Here's hoping. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Halifaxtiger 5,318 Posted October 4, 2016 (edited) I am saddened by this for a number of reasons. Firstly, its one of my favourite tracks and, at its best, is as good as anywhere. Secondly, I know Ashley Taylor a bit and he's a man of decency and integrity who has put everything into the club and remained in place throughout all of the difficulties. He deserves better. Most of all, though, its for my pals from the Devils on Tour, a great bunch of lads who travel everywhere, regardless of results or weather. Speedway, for me, won't be the same without them. Fingers crossed there is some light at the end of the tunnel. Edited October 4, 2016 by Halifaxtiger 11 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

spin king 1,923 Posted October 4, 2016 Very sad news I do feel for the band of supporters who since coming into the Premier League have never missed a meeting at Sheffield when Plymouth were in town. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
scaramanga 904 Posted October 4, 2016 id also like to say to all plymouth fans and others involved i feel for you hope you continue to follow speedway in whatever form you can you wont be the only club to go under if things dont change quickly Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Falcon Hammer 576 Posted October 4, 2016 Very sad news, hope somebody can come in and run a new look Devils Have to agree with Matt Bates on Facebook: "Deeply sad to read the current news about Plymouth speedway. But I have faith that a new promotion will takeover and hopefully do the most logical and best desision for the Devils and take them back to the NL. Sometimes times you have go back to the beginning and rebuild a future and even though most fans would hate the fact of the Devils dropping back down it would save the club once under a new promotion. If they remained in the PL you might as well sign your own death certificate for the Devils. 100% in belief that a new promotion will keep the Devils alive just hope they make the right choice for the clubs future." NL is a much more sustainable model, if more clubs enter, then the requirement for PL riders needs tone relaxed more (still Brits only though) - hope something can be sorted out soon 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's difficulty is it's remoteness, but if you have a great home following you can make it. Here's hoping. Not quite sure any normal speedway fan will be rubbing their hands as for the majority it's sad to see any club go under like this. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hackneyrocket 139 Posted October 4, 2016 We can't afford to keep losing speedway clubs. Only visited Plymouth once when I was working down there and by coincidence Rye were riding. Seemed a nice bunch of fans. I really hope that Plymouth will be at the tapes come 2017. All the very best. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
