4.91, so would not fit if the expected Mitch and Luke return,  the top heavy team might just work if Rushen signs for the team his pen had on it…  Looks like they will have a top 5 that can compete with Glasgows either way

Not saying its a bad thing per se, but this isn't going to save the sport. Speedway ceased being a family sport IMO when attitudes to drink driving changed. My experiences of speedway growing up was that it was a great family night out. There were a bunch of us there, there wasn't anything else we'd be doing and dad would sink six pints (at least) with his mates before driving us home. We put a lot into the speedway economy but times change and even he wouldn't think of drink driving these days. Anyway, does giving out sweets really work at Belle Vue? Is Belle Vue really even a viable business? Speedway's problems run so deep the only solution is to start again. My sincere hope is that they can separate the sport from the business of league racing. League racing is in trouble in part because the sport has been neglected. I'd hope that we can at least preserve a few tracks and a training structure to help keep the sport alive when league racing has died.

6 weeks you mean lol

I saw this the other day from 1933 and the remarkable thing is how much of the presentation has not changed since then:  

What would Nathan Ablitt come in on?

Drip feeding works in place where each announcement gets a back page story in the local press. It doesn't work in cities where the news is dominated by football. Drip feeding announcements of reserves and second strings would get at most a single sentence in the news in Glasgow. Even Bomber would be no more than a paragraph.  Different teams do it differently based on local knowledge on what works for them publicity wise
