Pieman72 588 Posted August 13, 2017 Well at least change is on the agenda. I always keep to my principles and I think some of my idea's will take root. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Skid Sprocket 243 Posted August 13, 2017 Speedway is a wonderful sport but unfortunately it is run and supported by individuals who relate back to an era when the sport was popular, well supported and profitable. Realisticly it can't be sustained in it's present form. A lot of problems are beyond the sports control but radical ideas and thinking should be on the agenda. Getting the 'big stick' out will only hasten the demise. All that will happen is that we will end up with another dictatorship. I made an attempt to get a consensus of opinion on a relatively simple matter with a vote on this forum on publicising attendance figures, with very little interest, any new initiative would have the same lack of interest and be left to a few dictators as we have now.

Pieman72 588 Posted August 13, 2017 I won't even engage with them it would be a waste of time. To be fair they are hard working and have speedway's best interests at heart but unfortunately tracks, paying public and european speedway have changed. I prefer to put take racing in a direction that is totally different to the present set us as frankly it's definintely not working !! Watch this space....

Pieman72 588 Posted August 15, 2017 I agree with the synopsis that we have an autocratic system that runs speedway but what usually happens to autocarats and they usually leave a complete mess behind them? The more you engage with the system the longer it will survive. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pieman72 588 Posted August 17, 2017 That's funny my computer's on voice recognition. I hope you've got the grist as I never post offensive comments, we all come off the same page. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
