But at all levels of organised sport, you're going to get a large and probably growing contingent amongst the owners, directors, sponsors, benefactors etc who do it to help fulfil their own ego and vanity, and/or have vested, personal interests as their main motivation such as the promotion of their own business interests. Being able to brag at their golf club on on expensive holidays about how much money they're putting into whatever sport club as way of saying "look how rich i am, aren't I wonderful". I don't know if these come into the category of "hobbyists" (or vice-versa). Is it actually possible to have these kind on involvements whilst being entirely altruistic and its probably impossible to differentiate - motivation for involvement differing vastly. So in terms of the owners of UK speedway clubs, is it more a case of those who behave primarily with a narrow-focus, versus those who are more "bigger picture" oriented, irrespective of whether they could be classified as "hobbyists" or "business focussed", or whatever?

stop pinching whitelinehuggers jokes.

I expect a routine fairly easy win tonight but this is speedway and what you expect doesnt always happen. Picko will score plenty and Simon Lambert has had good meetings at Poole but cant really see it being too tricky especially with local boy Kyle Newman going so well, he should be kept in my opinion.

getting cash out of the bank..🤣

Cook doesn't seem to go that well at the Foxhole, don't know about Paco, and Scott and Coops will need time to settle, and rightly so. Always hard to predict early season results, but if i had to, id go around the 56-34 mark. 

Open the track, hold the meeting, hopefully win closely, then lock up the track when the last one is out... Rinse and Repeat two weeks later, (maybe), with pretty much exactly the same fans in attendance... Find a guest for someone missing in Poland or Denmark, or is injured/banned over here but not anywhere else.... Aim to win at home to keep your own crowd attending, with all your riders in attendance... Agree to ride away on nights you know your No1 can't be there and book a guest instead... Don't be too successful as it can close you down... UK Speedway...
