We need an advert on TV, with sad music and pictures of OAP's sat in deck chairs filling programmes in, riders sat at home with bikes in the garage and nowhere to ride... Can you spare £5 a month? £5 a month could help save this sport. For £5 a month you can adopt a fan, you'll receive a monthly programme with all the times recorded and R/R amendments made. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Everyone entitled to their opinion, of course. I’ve said in another thread I sympathise with Leicester fans right now. Just thought the sarcastic comment wasn’t really needed. Not for someone who has given so, so much to British speedway over the years and (along with all riders) risks his life and the life of others for our entertainment. Not for the sake of scoring 0 in one meeting when trying to get back into the swing of things after what happened (which I imagine can only really be done by getting competitive track time). Just my opinion. Maybe not a popular one. Best of luck to Leicester for the rest of the season! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
