As I said once retired most stay retired they just not interested, I’m not saying you don’t raise some interesting points about the concept but I just don’t see it, as I said I have knowledge of this and it’s like asking them to lend you £50,000 -

All great in theory but in reality it wouldn’t work. Poole the other night were struggling to get 16 juniors to ride in a midweek meeting. If it becomes pay to compete you would probably only end up with about 4 tracks left in the country. Most race tracks like Brands Hatch can run everyday so can offer more variation in what they can do to make it sustainable. Unfortunately most speedway tracks can’t operate that way. -

Hey, it's an example of thinking differently. The Golden Greats thing was, albeit many years ago, a big draw and 'Masters' sport is actually quite a big deal. It needs someone (external) to promote. Bring some big names from the past over for a tour, add in some local favourites. If I'm on the outside looking in I see speedway fans as a bunch of rose tinted old timers who have nothing but nostalgia for the past. I'm not saying it's easy, but would the premise of seeing Steve Lawson and Kenny McKinna bring out some Glasgow fans, or could Hans Nielsen and Greg Hancock be a draw for three or four high profile meetings next summer? I don't know, but it's different and has a PR story that could potentially get people interested. -

Who are these veteran riders you speak of ? I have a good knowledge of this and of all the riders that have raced over the years , 99% of them have no interest in riding a bike ever again and the 1% that have a little skid now and again have no inclination to want to race let alone have the equipment to do it -
