Agreed Mike although the number of semi wealthy businessmen willing to step in and underwrite a speedway track for 50k-100k losses every year is getting very much smaller. I do think the sport is sadly beyond saving in the UK in its current form. That's not to say it doesn't have a future but I'm more and more beginning to think its going to take the current model finally dying before something new (and hopefully better) rises from the ashes. The last live meeting I went to was a world team cup round at Lynn years ago I only went as Billy Hamill had come back to help the USA out and the place was packed to the rafters so support for meetings that generate interest was there. I will say whatever comes next I don't think it will be a team sport maybe 5-8 well promoted individual meetings across the UK might be the future with getting some legends back for demonstration races. That said I think the sport will limp on for another 5-10 years in its current form but sadly the product/presentation will just get worse year on year. Pray god I'm wrong and somehow Mayfield or someone else turns it all around. -

The club has already stated on socials that if England beat Norway then 'new arrangements' for Wednesday 15th will be announced. -
Only problem with that statement, you do know that the Poole track has very little shale on it, so you definitely won't feel shale on your face 😜 maybe dust early on before the blue groove appears 🤣

Nick Morris sidelined by trapped nerve. Luke Killeen guests. Plymouth have Troy Batchelor at #1 for Danny K, and will use r/r for Ben Barker at #4 -
Not a classic meeting. Armadale still has people beat before they arrive unfortunately. Edinburgh will never change it for that reason alone. Another factor is that the majority of the fans would rather see a skelping than a close entertaining meeting. Attendance relates directly with success. we’ll see this tonight at Ashfield, big crowd will be through as they will smell blood.
