We all wonder what we can do to stop our sport disappearing but it just keeps on imploding from within, take this weekends NDL matches for an example. Jake Mulford, a Redcar Bear rode at Redcar the previous week for Kings Lynn, his NDL side but last Saturday he rode at Redcar again this time for Buxton against the Tigers. Then the very next day he rode for Kings Lynn against Buxton at Buxton. Same fixtures, Nathan Ablitt rode for the Tigers against Buxton but the following day rode for Buxton against Kings Lynn. Steen Pijper rode in the same matches, for the Tigers against Buxton but then for Kings Lynn against Buxton. Getting the picture ? Add in a lad, Booth, number 8 for Tigers v Buxton then at Buxton for Kings Lynn. Now try explain this to anyone you are trying to get to come to speedway matches with you…. I know there’s a shortage, I know it’s only NDL and I get the reasons why this happens but…..it isn’t helping attracting a new, younger crowd.    

Good listen, seems a great bloke.

Masters also another option!!

Why not? He's having bad season at Ipswich but would like to see him back at Poole in 2027 as Cook & Lawson may not be there. Brennan & King would be good or perhaps Pickering & Douglas. Any other suggestions for top 2?

For a first-season adaptation from a track used exclusively for stock cars they've done really well. I imagine there'll be more work done over the winter, should they be back next year.

As I said, it has to be regular, and it has to be of a comparative quality to the usual fare on offer.
