neither do i, i blame the promoters for bowing down to them. if they did want it to be u21 they should start working towards it by lowering the age limit each year and also developing the u21 so they are of a decent enough standard. 

You're at number 8 😜 Several teams in our league and all teams in top league still to name names, but some have end of season doos this weekend so maybe some names announced. But with the AGM being postponed maybe everything is not agreed fully

Higher ups are playing a dangerous game here. Most of these young lads will have their confidence shattered to pieces in a blink of an eye to a point where they may contemplate taking a break from the sport. Haven't thought this one through at all.

Your last comment re soothing egos needs some explaining, as it appears out of context to the rest of your post. Not clear why there are egos at play here?

This statement crosses the line from a plea for support into an incredibly patronising lecture. The tone heavily implies a sense of 'look how great we are, and you should all be grateful to us for saving you from football pitches.' While the hard work of RHAG is respected, it is completely unfair to attack the wider speedway fanbase and claim they 'stand by' and 'accept' the loss of tracks. Implying that fans who sign petitions or submit objections are just sitting on their backsides and contributing to the sport's decline is deeply insulting. Support is earned through community engagement, not by condescending to the very people you are asking for money

I just don't understand why we don't include all U21 riders in this system? Having Will Cairns and Cooper Rushen in the rising star system makes it much stronger.
