It did make me smile when I read Alex harkess in the speedway star saying why does an amateur sport like ice hockey get 3 times the crowd that a professional sport like speedway gets ? Describing speedway as a professional sport 😂 -

Its the die hard fans that want to see the " big names" ,they won't attract any new supporters If only the die hards could accept that the racing can be really bloody good no matter what the level of racing is, so long as the riders are evenly matched, then british speedway stands a chance.if only The " its only a £ 10 sport if its nl level " brigade would accept that good close racing in a meeting is better value for money than " world no3 is half a lap in front but he's a big star" then things could be different .Yes , in an ideal world there would be a 10 team premiership with teams built to polish extra league standard, but its just not going to happen -
If the AGM has indeed been postponed then one would assume the powers that be will announce this fact pdq. There may be some sensitive pieces of information that they can't release at the present time but wouldn't it make a change for once if they attempted to keep fans in the loop as much as possible. Come clean for once and say it how it is instead of constantly staying in the shadows. -

A million pound prize fund is hardly big news in any modern sport, so personally I’d disagree that you can sell more off the back of it. It wouldn’t suddenly make the sport credible, or more attractive imo. Until you sort out the basic rules, and infrastructure it doesn’t move forward. If the powers that be can’t  sell a sport that suits modern audiences (concentration levels low) with powerful bikes, with no brakes, suggesting danger, a team sport too. A million pound bounty won’t disguise that stadiums are dire and crowd levels are poor. I’d have a squad of riders, no points limit (but I guess that’s not feasible for all sorts of reasons, unless you go to 5 person teams?) Could you run regular double meetings on one day, utilising the squad? Thus getting 30 heats and fixtures fulfilled (weather depending) but I suppose costs would scupper that too.
