They are. Football (one of the biggest of them all) is phasing gambling sponsorship out because it can cause serious addiction. The number of bookmakers who offer speedway markets has also decreased. They aren’t interested. The only people who want to bet on speedway are the existing diminishing fan base or those with serious gambling addiction who would happily bet on Romanian under-12s netball.  Companies sponsor things that will help them improve or promote their business generally. Speedway won’t. Greyhounds is a dying sport too and one that has always been synonymous with gambling. It isn’t a partnership that has just sprung up.  Don’t get me wrong I wouldn’t look a gift horse in the mouth but let’s not assume bookmakers are the saviour. It’s straw clutching. 

That's a very disrespectful comment🤬

You could introduce betting on other aspects of Speedway. Typically the start time of the first heat as against the start time advertised in the programme. King's Lynn would get good odds as a 19:30 Proggy start drifts towards 8pm and past it. Also' at what heat does the 'sun break' occur. These odds could be paired up with the first appearance of Phil's hosepipe! Enjoy 🤑

You could bet on how many guests turn up in a play off semi final.,. My money is on three.... Japan's version of the sport is set up just for betting.... #justsaying.....

What about this for starters, gaps to fill in 😄 Klindt , zichkie batch hook foord  don't know how many points taken or left to use

I don’t think so at this stage. He came he to win trophies & has for filled what he & the club set out to achieve.   I had a hunch that this season was very much about unfinished business for Emil & that it would be his last.   He is a rider who likes to be well organised in advance so I think it possibly hints at the uncertainty that is going on behind the scenes in uk speedway. If the state of play for uk speedway was settled could Louis have offered him another deal? I suspect he could have & possibly Emil would have agreed. Currently I don’t believe that uk speedway is in the position where Louis could have offered Emil a deal to allow Emil to make plans for 26. Having said that honestly I believe it’s a case of job done & it’s a great time for this chapter to close. Clearly these is a massive mount of mutual respect between club & rider. It’s been a great journey & one thing is for certain Emil is a true Ipswich legend!
