2020 was the year speedway should of used to rebrand, rebuild and forge a game plan going forward but it didn’t -
The Arenacross is an excellent night out and I go and watch most years either at the NEC or Wembley Arena. Normally pay about £40 and it’s 3 hours non stop entertainment and very enjoyable. I took 2 friends this year and who have never been before and both found it brilliant and both will be going back. However before Covid it was starting to get stale as the format hadn’t changed and the crowds were dropping dramatically. So during the Covid break they used the time to tweak the format only a little bit and changed it to a British Championship and got riders like Tommy Searle involved and the crowds are back where they used to be.

Great effort from Knudsen in the Danish final, now if only we can get him riding 😀

Without going into details or individuals too a point what riders are paid per point isn’t really going to change much,it’s more the extras are getting out of hand -
I think you only have to look at the number of young riders from U21 Championships over the last 10 years or so who have turned away from the sport due to lack of opportunity, mainly due to doubling up. Next year, as it stands at the moment, we're down to 14 tracks. That's: 98 riders for 7 rider teams 84 riders for 6 rider teams 70 riders for 5 rider teams It's going to take adjustments to the race format to give riders a proper progression path instead of being dumped in the top league and allowed to sink or swim.
