There is no suggestion that he has had enough and I would say that attendances have been decent apart from the televised meeting and the last meeting due to the bad weather. Also, no problem with track availability or potential track closure. As for British speedway after Buster’s announcement, not so sure at the moment. Are we possibly heading for a number of clubs in both leagues disappearing over the winter? Problems at Eastbourne as I understand it as well. One of either 2 things as I see it. Firstly travel restrictions and polish league restrictions lifted and we get in more foreign riders or secondly we go back to the mid nineties and have one league. Like most things is life now speedway is over burdened with regulations and most people just cannot be bothered any more. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Beowulf 1,513 Posted August 19, 2021 11 minutes ago, norbold said: You were saying…..? As a Wolves fan, obviously happy that it was a straightforward win for the Wolves. However, it is painful to see a legend such as Crump struggling like this, and in hindsight a wrong decision by Crump and by Ipswich using 8 points out of the total for Crump. As for Cook it would seem that he should doing much better than he is, but it is known that he 'issues', so only he knows if he is failing or not. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I can’t see any top foreign riders coming back as they will drain the fragile finances clubs have and probably bring about a quicker end to the sport.

SPEEDY69 1,260 Posted August 23, 2021 Starke has been good value as well. At the start of the year Rowe was scoring well but this has changed. I'd dispense with the others but brings Heeps back as he also has the ability to overtake people, not just gate and go and I think the condition of the track affected him this season.

cowboy cookie returns? 747 Posted August 23, 2021 King Kemp Rowe & Starke plus 3 newbies for 2021, depending on the league set up . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kevin bass 249 Posted August 23, 2021 Rowe started off really well but has tailed off the last month or so, still unsure about Kemp, seems to ride better away from Foxhall, looks hesitant at times and backs off if things get tight. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
