Ref forgot to put 2 mins on and it was probably only put on when he was waiving frantically to his pit crew. Went on for an age and the BSN commentators said he was in overtime. Still you make your own luck and Edinburgh had it with Cluff and Poole didn’t have any with two important EF’s. Cooper Rushen in his interview on BSN that Edinburgh had their setups dialled to perfection out of the starts and Pirates were playing catchup.

I've told everyone I know (& could think of) including posting on a music-related website that has a sports section, also posted in main discussion section, obv I hope it's a good meeting, plenty of passing & all that.  If Speedway Futures were instrumental in having the meeting broadcast on ITV4, and I'm not doubting for a second they were, I think we'd all have apreciated a wee bit more openness.  i.e. 'This is what Speedway Futures has achieved & is the kind of thing they are actively looking at with hopefully more to come, watch this space' then I think we'd feel happpier as in 'great they ARE making a difference'.  But good stuff a defo positive, fingers crossed we witness race action of the quality shown in last year's British Final & this year's British GP....

It all very much depends on there being a TV deal for the Premiership. If there is and it will put a significant level of money into each competing team, then I’d limit teams to having one rider over an 8 point average. I’d like to see a minimum of four British riders in every team. I’d like to see two rising stars per team, but this may not be possible. Rising stars should also be categorised and used in the Championship. If there is no TV deal then we’re probably at ground zero, with one league and six riders per team on a almost semi professional level, sometimes you have to go backwards to go forwards. As things stand I would think only a couple of clubs in British Speedway are turning a small profit, clubs are relying on people coming through the gate, sponsors and benefactors who can stand to lose piles of money.

Same in most team sports, Poole decided to move down as it is more profitable, same crowds less cost. Most team sports can't purposefully make that decision. The less well off usually get relegated but not through choice.

I think most people would prefer it if you were hidden and out of sight.
