Continuing the hospital analogy, it's about time that these "bed blocker" riders that are holding the sport to ransom are sent to dignitas if they refuse to stop doubling up and let some of the maternity ward patients have an opportunity (young riders). I'm sure that after a period in the real world on the building sites that many will soon be back realising that they can make it pay after all. Some of them only have a few years left in the sport anyway and are just hoping that the sport lasts long enough to give them a last few easy paydays. 

Suspect he will get the 8 percent reduction whether people like it or not 

Or possibly suspended animation. It maybe a bit harsh to suggest dead, comatose or waiting for the men in white coats is a more likely scenario. Having said that most of those in charge seem to have suspended any animation they had and the quick fix is more like a trip to A&E. Stuck in a corridor with little hope of ever being seen let alone a diagnosis as to what is wrong with the sport. Still as those on the top table believe all is well and nothing to see here. The sport in this country is fine.

That's an assumption. He could easily drop form ..Simon Lambert ain't got a prem club . Should he quit speedway? What about some of the younger riders not good enough for the premiership yet. Should they quit and also and hold the fans and clubs to ransom? Drew Kemp will likely get dropped again at some point, I imagine he earns much less than Kyle in the championship. Quit again? Connor Mountain? I could go on...  

Speedway has always relied on the racing being the entertainment,they are only just realising i think that kids racing seems a good spectacle and brings in the kids that speedway needs. people now want proper entertainment for their money. Stop playing crap music on loop and sitting on the steps having a fag all evening like at Scunny. Do what Scunny Untd do and see if u can get a band, put a Dj on the centre green, maybe have theme nights in the summer, best hawiaan shirt contest or a hog roast evening or the sweet stall that Sheffield had

Have you watched Godfrey on speedway 360 on YouTube ?  I it’s truly scary how they see speedway futures working.  He can’t even remember the Tory grandee’s name despite being on the board alongside him.  watch it and see what you think
