Came on to say this myself. The sport really is in free fall now and only getting worse. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Baldyman 6,243 Posted August 28, 2023 Its a shame for those that follow the sport in the Midlands,,, it won't be long before a few more clubs around the country join it though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I feel for the Wolves fans and let’s hope that they are not lost to British speedway. U k speedway and one of stalwarts of the top tier is not going to be the same. Fingers crossed that you come back. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Death by a 1000 self inflicted cuts unfortunately, with all promoters as culpable as each other for allowing such nonsense that we constantly see pervade, which has driven many thousands away... Thousands that, if they were still regularly in attendance, would make a world of difference to landlords and their rent money level.. And, maybe, saved a few more tracks..? You would hope though, that given the raw product itself clearly has a marketable value given how good it can be, that the sport does carry on akin to how the USA and Aussie run their version of the sport.. Individuals in the main, with some contrived teams put together on an adhoc basis. (Who said just like we have now?)... Given riders need so many meetings, (and the sport is pretty much solely built to allow them to do that), it will he interesting to see what gets conjured up. Given Wolves have pulled out to allow planning to take place, you can only presume that some kind of plan is already being mulled over.. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
