Agree.Let the riders who can’t make the sport pay in Uk earn their fortune elsewhere.

He has ridden for them.!

Lambert £100 more.

Totally agree with ‘journeymen’earnings’ it can’t be sustainable.Interestingly in the Harry Oxley obituary in SS last week Penhall said Harry guaranteed the riders 35% of the gate receipts . Thats a business man and Promoter.Knew how too run his sport.

Club Speedway is not dead,it just needs to get back to being “Club Speedway” not every rider riding for any Club during season.Fans want to see “their” riders every week.Take a leaf out of Polands book no guests they promote juniors.At least the fans are seeing their riders .Dont think it spoils the entertainment and produces new talent. NDL riders deserve a chance. IMO

Make the sport more credible would be a good start.Anyone who thinks it is is deluded.IMO.

Lambert certainly doesn’t do much passing against decent opposition.

At least it’s their own juniors no guests,fans watching their rider who will only improve.

Kvetch seems to be improving as a rider as the season goes on.IMO.Lambert isn’t.

Depends on wages bill though.

Speedway is just circus now in UK with the same riders putting on a show at different venues and different Clubs during the week.Half of them don’t know who is their Teammate is on the night at any given meeting.

Definitely think a Saturday Afternoon is not good day to run a meeting.But don’t know the main decision for this .Know the don’t have floodlights. accommodating rider demands is killing the sport fixtures are too sporadic.Fans could probably accept once a Fortnight better.

Agree,need to call their bluff.Sport might have to drop a grade but the entertainment value won’t. Like you have said the speed will not drop significantly.

You could stop paying equivalent of Annual Salary for a 5 month season in UK. Majority of Top Earners also ride in Europe too,would like to see the Average P60 for riders. Time to call their bluff .IMO.

Until Promoters stop paying riders more money than is coming into the Clubs the problem will never end.Just the sport.

Think that is also an issue.Its a fair distance from Public Transport.Its a sign of the trouble the sport is in when such an entertaining track can’t get a decent level of support. most of the issues raised are valid though.

What about their other Foreigners.

Irrelevant .

Sounds more than just money issues.

There seems to be a reluctance by most Clubs too run on their off day these days. When you run 3-4 weeks without a fixture it’s obvious the season will not shortened even with only 9 Clubs.Nothing changes though same old problems at the end of every season.

Missing riders no doubt

Roynon spoils it for me.Had some good guest riders though.

Well past his best,mediocre in Poland. Rybnik need to bin Pedersen though just cause trouble with Teammates every meeting.

Reserve’s could be the factor in this meeting.
