With many other niche sports crying out for what Speedway has... Sadly Speedway (UK), doesn't know how to market itself to make the most of so many hours of coverage... I watched Lublin and Wroclaw last evening.. Wow.. Exactly the same sport.. But a world of difference.. Noise, atmosphere, and a full house... It did mean something though in the context of being a proper sporting fixture, which may be one of the reasons why it was taken so seriously.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Poole fans got fed up continually winning the Premiership/Elite league so are just trying something different and better. Their only issue is the future of the stadium.

mikebv 10,285 Posted June 6, 2022 Just now, Skidder1 said: Poole fans got fed up continually winning the Premiership/Elite league so are just trying something different and better Might as well. . Fans get to see the same riders and can watch it for a cheaper price.. Fair play to the Fords .. Shame they dont play a far more prominent part in running the sport.. Although, not sure anyone can sort the nonsense like tonight that goes on, at both the NSS (with the teams), and Monmore with the track... The irony being is how professional the riders are... If only the infrastructure around them was the same... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
