He gives his all for sure.

Victor stays with the bandits

I would have Antti back, very good around the GT Tyres Arena, just needed more belief in his own ability on some away tracks. Good professional attitude.

Hope not

pijper at northampton, ingram is at sheffield   as of the other day belle vue were the only team not to pick a rising star, 

I'm sure that Deano will say I'm fit to be a BSPA member 😁 but I do think a huge part of Speedways decline is due to circumstances beyond it's control. Sport in general has suffered from less spectator attendance at all except the top levels in a couple of cases. It would be easy to think motor racing for example is doing well because of the success of F1 but the reality is that most racing takes place in front of friends and family. So many things have changed in the past few decades not least far more people working unsocial hours as a matter of course. I have an interest in Speedway but have not seen a live meeting since Cardiff because I work Monday to Friday nights, there must be a lot of people who are at work or finish work too late to attend Speedway. Far less people ride motorcycles now when probably in the 50's the vast majority at least had a family member who did so perhaps felt some sort of association to the riders (is that why banger racing still draws a good crowd when it's like watching paint dry as far as I'm concerned?) I think in the early days it was something working class kids could aspire to in the same way as boxing to make good money. When I was a kid my parents liked Speedway but it was my passion for the sport that had them attending two meetings most weeks, along with the fact that we had two relatively local tracks. Kids today have so many things they can actually do rather than watch, we might not consider playstation or phone games much but for kids it's often what they are passionate about. For sure there are many things that could be improved. For me the most important would be tracks that promoted passing, but of course many aspects of the presentation could be improved. However that is only really preaching to the converted. If Speedway is to have a future as a professional sport the only way forward that I can see is for it to be funded by sponsorship/ advertising created by TV and media presence. Otherwise I can only see a future where it is like the majority of sports. Funded by the competitors paying to be there at weekends except for the very best in the world competing once a year in each country for a World Championship.
