But there are so many riders who manage to ride a speedway bike and not double up leagues and still come back year after year. Why haven't they quit? Maybe it's because they are earning a decent income from speedway? Yes it's not much but if they pay was so bad they wouldn't bother at all. Howarth would be a fool to quit speedway because he couldn't ride in the premiership. The extra meetings in the championship plus a potential rise in crowds and TV deal would surely make it up for it. Plus he would be a heat leader. They can earn decent money. I think personally its just pure greed but I understand what your saying. 

Well you may not buy it, but you need to consider the realty of what one league means in terms of earnings.  Assuming rates of pay remain the same then one league would mean a rider such as Howarth would lose at best 35% of his current pay but in reality  more likely 50%.  So quite reasonable that in such circumstances a rider would need to quit the sport to take up full time employment  and no, in today’s job market, unlike yesteryear there is far less opportunity for a family man like Kyle to double up with conventional employment and riding speedway.  

And why just reply to my comments? Why not IainB or jcone44? Is it because there right and your wrong ? Let's see a constructive reply to them from you then.

What's that meant to mean? It's a perfectly good reply. You can't even answer or argue the points I've made along with a few others have made. So what happens when these championship riders who aren't good enough retire. Explain that one then? The truth is YOU CANT.  Is that a better reply? 

Can't come up with a constructive reply this time can you?

No comparison really,  these motocross events really know how to put on a show .
