Speedway in this country is dying a slow death. Poor crowds , poor stadiums and tracks, except the obvious one. The riders know it , that’s why they’re not into it 100%. And we the supporters know it deep down. If there was a possible light at the end of the tunnel, a Barry Hearn character would have jumped on and grabbed it. The fact that nobody has says it all . We can only reminisce about the good old days that will sadly never be repeated. It’s not all doom and gloom though. What gorgeous weather we’re having ☀️👍

With further teams demise in the Winter there is every likelyhood of fewer teams having a SGP rider.     

They should ban him for being injured... So one of the few genuine World Class riders willing to ride over here, misses even more meetings, so even more fans can not see him ride... I am going to become a BSP consultant with that plan...

You could also question why Premiership matches are getting run on the Thursday's before GP's... Is it only 9 weekends  this year? With BV being x2... Therefore, given so few meetings, and every Monday is "UK exclusive", have these 9 Thursdays blank, or let Div 2 use them if they want to.. I am sure the riders would appreciate the time to prepare and not have the impending GP on their minds whilst racing the Thursday before...

It’s not like anyone is surprised he is missing He will ride the GP and Poland tho. That’s a cert. Doyle you could almost say you would expect given he has dislocated his hip TWICE in the last month. Kurtz will be another one soon that thinks he is too big for the UK. 

There has to be context... If the meeting tonight had something riding on it, and he was (at best), 50/50, then I am sure he would have risked it... Given the play offs are pretty much a given for the Aces, (and even if they don't make it then "Ho Hum"), a defeat tonight won't make much difference to the top four.. Given the consequences in Poland of reaching, or not, the play offs, and tomorrow he is still (at best), 50/50, then it is worth the risk given the size of the prize on offer over there... And if still 50/50 come Saturday he will be a shoe in for the GP..
