I enjoy watching crashes in any sport,always have always will and I say yes push the danger element as a selling point although to be honest there are far more dangerous sports than speedway but yes push it but guests are not an acceptable way to to run a team sport, the tribal aspect is the way to push a team sport, it’s why millions follow football and speedway is no different although you wouldn’t know it the way it’s run 

Tobi had 3 decent visits to Northampton as an away rider, so should be a solid number 1 at home 

They will be... On Dan T's vlog it was mentioned that most riders get a 3 points guarantee, with some going for no guarantee but higher pounds per point ..

To be honest, I think anyone coming into speedway with fresh eyes would wonder why it is even a team sport. In other forms of motorsport, team and manufacturer championships exist but are secondary. It is all about the individual championships in the eyes of the fans. Team variations of singular sports do exist, but they are typically novelties that happen once a year like pool's Mosconi Cup, the World Cup of Darts, the Motocross of Nations and so on. Speedway is fundamentally an individual sport which is being dressed up as a team activity. Maybe you could get away with it in the '60s, but audiences just don't buy into it these days. Speedway GP is our pinnacle and a format we can all buy into. Every other format is just contrived. I genuinely don't believe speedway is a credible team sport. I am sure there is a place for team competitions, but not as the lead product. We need to get more individuals participating, and the idea that the only real way to participate is by joining a 'professional' team must be a barrier to entry for so many. Maybe working on developing a product for participants will encourage more people to get on their bikes and ride. That in itself will be a massive boost for the speedway economy. Team speedway is basically a bunch of individuals riding around in a circle. Seven represent one team and seven the other. At the end of the night you add up the scores and the seven with the most win. While the connoisseur can appreciate team riding, there really is so little of it in evidence as to be worthwhile to the casual fan.

Maybe the RS should be on a guarantee to ride as can't see them scoring much in the Premiership, and will end up costing them more to ride than they make and force them to drop out. Where are all these foreign u-21 riders as no one has named any yet, how many Polish will we see? It's more likely that they will be Aussies and if not teams will have to go with two Brits which will weaken the teams even more

If you were starting a completely new team sport on Monday next week, you certainly wouldnt have copied the UK Speedway operating model to use would you?.. Certainly not if you wanted to make a success of your venture...
