I think you are right, cant see a good crowd Monday without Dan and especially now as well as Kildemand, Blodorn is also going to be missing apparently, even with our big two we were vulnerable away from home, some big points to make up at home too.

Problem is the fixtures on British speedway site states tapes up time for Ipswich as 730, but its always been first race at 7.45.

I'm sure Dan will be well looked after by Wroclaw and Monster... Connor Coles on the other hand seems to have been shamefully ignored by our usually benevolent and warm hearted Speedway family! I can't recall a rider suffering such serious injuries to have gone so far under the radar that it has.

Ha! Buried deep in a press release about Edinburgh meetings. Obviously not newsworthy enough for a separate release for the fans or simply trying to hide the bad news. 

Shame but he felt his time was up

But.... It is an amateur sport, at least off track... The promoters are not in the entertainment business, they are not marketeers, and definitely not in it "for the money".... They do their best given their limited capabilities to just "provide sone Speedway".... Getting "professionals" in costs money, which means it won't happen.. People have too high an expectation of what the majority of promotes can deliver... You only have to see how they run the sport to know they don't have the required skill set to deliver what some fans see as "basic".... They do their best, and put their money in, and without them there wouldn't be any start time to moan about....
