Speedway Updates is dying a slow death unfortunately and for the first time that I can remember they weren't able to cover every meeting last year due to a lack of volunteers. I feel something more modern is needed for speedway fans, an app along similar lines to the Polish one would be ideal.

While we have to wait for outcome of  12th Nov. If half the rumours are founded. I don’t understand why there is not just one league at Championship Level.Going back to basics and rebuilding.

A lot of the gaps were caused by various FIM meetings ,GP2 etc and lesser Micky mouse European meetings taking away a lot of the teams U24 riders,of all nationalities, so clubs had blank weekends or choose not to be available when the fixture draft was made, rather than run a team of guests or R/R

The fixture gaps are a problem retaining fans it would go along way too resolving it.Take the 3 BSN + the extras for the teams that made the Semi’s and it not that big a problem + some teams didn’t even have fixtures in Oct. Also the fans turned in Oct for Finals so can’t complain about the cold nights.

So why are Poole, Berwick, Glasgow and Redcar been complaining all season about too many long gaps between fixtures then 

There is a minimum earning level you must show you can achieve to get certain tier level visas .. I presume that is why some riders get/need guarantees? (And double up?)... Before I retired one of my team needed to show he earned (if I remember correctly) £41k to stay in the country... It had increased since his last visa got granted... So I put up his hours and let him work each Sunday for premium time... I then printed and signed copies of his contract for him to send off to the Government depts ..
