No not me but you have so many on here who share the views, Mike, Ian and many others who can offer so much more. I agree with all that you say and it needs to gather momentum to stop the sport falling off a cliff in the UK. I would rather watch seven riders trying their best than seven gate and go merchants. As I said standardised the machinery and if necessary grade it in formulas and the top riders can spend thousands chasing the crown while those emotionally involved in the sport ride to entertain and be competitive and gain experience whilst putting on a show for the punters. Short track riders do it and can put on a show. Perhaps ST should consider league racing. At least you would get regularly weekly meetings.

Create a league with mainly British lads, the younger the better to make a pipeline for the future. Maybe run on a weekend when families can attend and make it affordable for adults with kids free. That way we can finally push our sport forward without the need for the money grabbing big hitters in a league that everyone can get behind and see succeed. It cannot fail, and those that say it would only attract a few hundred need to realise where we are right now. You should be a promoter.  https://britishspeedway.co.uk/25results/belle_vue_10.08.25_res2.pdf

As much kudos, for winning either...

It makes a mockery of nothing... There isnt any major prize for winning either league, therefore, getting decent crowds, (who go to see a winning team), through the season, means decent regular income for Poole.. Their operating model works for them, and they know their customer bases requirements... Ipswich had a successful season last year and their crowds were decent, would they have had better crowds if they had delivered fantastic racing but won nothing? Of course they wouldn't...

What about next Thursday. Nothing else happening and think of the savings with a curtailed league programme. Just pull two names out of the hat and get on with it. That will have as much credibility as seeing the campaign drag on for another four months with meetings interspersed by weather. It has become a fragmented programme with little to get excited about. A sad state of affairs. If only those in charge took on board some of the feedback from the punters but alas the contempt shown towards the supporters in this country will back fire on in the short term and more tracks will close as the finances will not stack up and they have no chance of getting the lapsed supporters to return. Heads up arses and fingers in ears best describes those who oversee this once great sport.

No TV schedule to work to so back to their old "we'll get there" ways... Bonfire Night is a Thursday so we could have a "Bonfire Bonanza Play Off".. Mind you, Xmas and New Year's Eve's are also on a Thursday...
