Most fans will be happy to be treated like intelligent adult human beings, be told honestly what's going on, and have this state of suspense lifted. From today's news release, it's been admitted that team building hasn't gone to plan, that riders are still to be signed and that we are at the mercy of external authorities. Basically it doesn't give us any guarantees, just hopes and dreams of a better future. Still, this is speedway where a solid grasp on reality is never guaranteed.

There has been a lot of work put in by the new shareholders over the past few weeks and things on and off track are looking promising. Is that a hint that LR has been “let go”? ”….a lot of work put in by the new shareholders” and “….things on and off track are looking promising” Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's definitely a riders market nowadays. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
