Have to totally disagree there, King is definitely Number 1 material. 2nd highest away average in the whole league behind Sam Masters (9.30) Plus won 49 heats in total, Only Masters, Lawson and Harris were ahead of him. -
Luke Harrison’s Facebook page has been implying he won’t be back at scunny next year. Would be a tremendous shame as he’s developing nicely however I understand his dad will want him to try different tracks -
At home this season heat 13 provided 5 heat advantages all season that’s including the challenge match v Newcastle 2 with Erik at 5 and 3 with Danny not sure about away from home -

This is were Speedway will (and always has done) fall down. How to maintain that engagement at live meetings? You're trying to attract the next generation which have the attention spans of a fish. For a newbie, going to a live meeting today, 2½ hours for about 40mins of entertainment, if you're in to practice starts & laps of honour. Otherwise, it's 15mins of entertainment. For that privilege, it cost £25. Also, the quality of the Stadia in the UK, for any middle/upper class citizen its horrific. The truth is, British Speedway is lower class trying to sell itself to the affluent. This is were it's not working. 100%, the attendances would be far higher if it was £10/15 with an Offy, a Vape Shop & a Turkish barbers selling class A's. The sport would be as big as football then 🤣 -
It's because there is no coordinated follow up plan... It is just "Build it and they will come".... The reality is you need to get people attending at least three times to get engaged and (hopefully), see at least one decent meeting... To make a fundamental change to your life you need to do something consistently for 28 days... Speedway need to get people attending regularly and it starts with those vital 28 days... Email and Mobile details, free family tickets, constant communication, feedback from their first visit requested, etc etc etc... Expecting them to return after one visit, even if free/discounted, and pay full price next time, is asking a lot... But, that often appears to be "the plan" at many tracks... Glasgow, and Plymouth, showing what can be done...
