We need young riders and a bloody ton of them too. Britain needs to scrap the current setup and completely start again from scratch. Training camps, standard machinery, with the league that is somewhere between the second and third divisions, and split regionally, they may even need to cease running a league because of a lack of riders and go back to what they did in 1928 with a series of individual meetings and match races, until enough riders can be found to run a league with no doubling up because it WILL be just one league, with some scratch races after for riders under 15. The longer they keep sticking a plaster on it, the harder and more expensive it will be to repair it properly or maybe not at all.  

Can anyone confirm if this is Trackrat. Gone but never forgotten if it is.

What?

Is this on Sky?..

Home win some margin, 54-36.  I’m going for the Sheffield reserves to score a combined 1 point unless they both miraculously find some gating gloves from bottom of kit bag 

Years ago, you found out when at the track that "headliners" were missing... Now you know usually two days in advance, and even up to setting off time, that "all of a sudden" one of the main riders wont be there... And often, not because he is injured... So much to unpick for the sport to be even remotely a success going forwards... Probably far too much now I would suggest.
