Surely then now with all the worries and lack of clarity for the 2026 season there has to be a statement released on Wednesday as to a lack of AGM if this is true and what the possible delay is. All clubs are expected to be transparent so surely the governance should lead by the same example

When Sky first started showing the sport, the viewing numbers were "very good" and often in six figures. For such a small minority sport Sky would have been delighted by the numbers.. Back then though there was 24 tracks in the top two divisions plus several stand alone third tier teams... Meaning a good "core" following for the sport, and many more people who maybe didn't follow the sport, but would see their town team racing that night on TV and watch... Sadly as clubs shut, the prospective TV audience has seemed to have also reduced in line with the number who used to attend these tracks.. And, with the costs of the broadcast v the risk of the weather, you can see why contracts have either been not renewed, or paid up and finished early... For me, it would be better if the sport just had itself a "magazine" highlights package which used the streaming companies content,rather than putting out two hours of, often, gate and go Speedway, in two thirds empty stadia, devoid of any "tribal atmosphere".... Much cheaper for the TV company, and, if they could get it on one of the main five channels, a much greater chance of more people watching... There won't be any six figure amounts paid out to tracks I would imagine, but at least it would deliver a platform from which to try and grow from...

I agree Cardiff was special and the event of the year even with the diminishing numbers which was sad but I felt they cancelled it a year too early as I felt the crowd was lower because the previous years racing was very poor, the last year at Cardiff the racing was better so I think that would have generated a better attendance this year but its all too late now and we either go to Manchester or not bother, having been to every Cardiff GP, I decided to give Belle Vue a miss. I expect it will revert to one GP in the UK in 2026. -

Agm is a closed shop, all sat round the table deciding how they can line their own pockets whilst the sport goes further into decline. -
