Woeful display from the witches apart from Danny, Anders & Starke. Crump should never have ridden. Would someone remind me why we signed Cook, and again our riders ride totally the wrong lines and get passed for fun. Can someone also explain to me why we picked 2&4 in heat 15, was that down to Ritchie or the riders. Looked a poor crowd tonight even the £1000 couldn't get them there. Season over as we ain't getting anywhere near the top four with this team. 2 and 4 were the best gates in the last half of the meeting and had won the last 3 heats. Very easy to see why. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not all clubs are lucky enough to be bailed out by the local council sadly , so you do have a short memory. From what I am told, crowds even at full capacity are hardly holding up enough to keep Belle Vue in action long term either. Don't think I've seen one positive post from you yet. Just negativity followed by negativity. Are you a Speedway fan because all your comments lead me to believe that you simply want the sport to fail. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Falcon1983 557 Posted June 29, 2021 2 hours ago, stevebrum said: Think it’s only 7 riders that ride only top flight. Every other rider rides in 2 leagues. So just where are these riders going to come from to make it one big league? Whilst I really hope they persevere with the rising star scheme it needs to be 2 for the top flight. Whilst there may be some riders gained from the NL you can add to the mix a lot just aren’t good enough for a higher league whilst the development leagues there is an even bigger gulf. So there simply isn’t enough suitable standard riders to make one big league. Think I have said it until I am blue in the face, but the "main event" of British Speedway should be a British Grand Prix Championship rather than the one-off British Final Use this event for Eurosport, have it sponsored, decent prize money, see if Eurosport could change the TV slot to other days i.e. weekends perhaps Most riders domestically are aiming for Poland, realistically not many will get there, if they do only a few make it pay, so why not have a British Championship for British Riders that is the pinnacle of British Racing and offers the prize money that will get people racing Speedway, should over a number of years (with the correct investment in youth speedway with a clear path to Semi Professional & Professional racing) increase the number of British riders coming through the system League Racing should be 2 leagues (British & National) 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GAH 409 Posted June 29, 2021 8 hours ago, KIRKYLANE said: The greyhound track was completely different to Hyde road and the NSS. Small track , with wide tight bends. I have lots of converted dvds with good racing from the early days at the dog track. When John Perrin let stock cars in , then the track became very variable.... all dependant on how much track work had been done In the latter part of the dog track’s days , Colin Meredith was brought in to do the track and we went back to a well prepared track with good racing. There are quite a few British tracks that I rarely go to as they generally speaking are not conducive to giving good quality racing.

From what I am told, crowds even at full capacity are hardly holding up enough to keep Belle Vue in action long term either. I can’t recall BV being bailed out by the council. The council agreed to build a stadium in the east part of Manchester, I believe, termed Sport City. That’s due to Manchester City stadium and National Velodrome, plus other sporting venues concentrated it that area. Man City stadium was originally where the Commonwealth games were held. And did you see NATIONAL Velodrome, no doubt it was the council that named NATIONAL Speedway Stadium. Yes they put a lot of money into it, what promotor would like that done in their city/town. Everyone should be joyful there is such a good stadium with amazing race track in Uk/Britain/England, not knocking it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
