A Sunday afternoon might be better for a bigger crowd and youngsters. A very good idea... Best of both worlds, and could be done when there isnt a British rider racing in Poland that day... There must be one at least surely given so few do it? But aside from the day its ran, actually promoting the event would be a start in increasing attendance.. If even the Promoters don't feel it's important enough to do some promotion and marketing around it, and give it a very decent prize fund well into five figures, then you can't expect the fans (or even some riders), to see it as worth attending... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Dog 413 Posted August 23, 2021 Surely the only way speedway can move forward now is to make our own fixtures priority, like the British Final. If the likes of Woffy, Bewley etc would rather miss out on the chance to be National Champion for another payday in Poland, so be it. Let's look after the riders and fans who are prepared to be a part of it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Dog 413 Posted August 23, 2021 I think now that Bewley is establishing himself in Poland, he will be the next one to follow Woffy and Lambert. But I should have added Lambert to the list Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
