So how have they survived ?. Even getting back into 'Superleague' ?....It must make the Halifax Panthers and Featherstone Rovers fans livid. But maybe Halifax can revive speedway to counteract the loss of their RL club?.

so Sheffield have come out with 10 meetings for £250. £25 a meeting in an even worse league. Surely take a hit on price and try get more through the door?

Birmingham, with Cradley, Coventry and Wolverhampton, (and even Stoke), within reasonable commutable distance, certainly would back up that opinion... Getting a new track should be something to celebrate, but you do feel that there is a certain amount of desperation with this venture, with allowing riders to double up (as we know how important that is), being the main reason for another top tier team... Let's hope whoever takes over can truly promote a high octane, adrenaline fuelled, exciting and dangerous sport, which brings in plenty of fans who then become regulars... If they can, then maybe it can become a template for others to do fhe same...?  

I agree. We would pick and choose meetings at Somerset and Swindon after Newport closed down but it never felt the same.   Probably 5 a year at Somerset and even less at Swindon. I actually think we went to Somerset more when Newport were running than after

I think regularly attracting any worthwhile amount of supporters from defunct tracks is a myth...
