The bottom line is ,these days Top Men riding in UK is a pain in the a#re for them ,so dodgy tracks makes a good case for bailing out.UK tracks are becoming more unsuitable to super fast machinery and more risk to picking up an injury preventing them getting “ big bucks” abroad.

Think fans are reflecting state the sport is in ,as to actually criticising Eastbourne.There are becoming to many reasons to cancel meetings and still expect fans to change their plans to suit Promoters,fans make their plans around fixture list too.Perhaps the need to look at the reason they would lose so much money (all Promotions).

Apologies, might be wrong,Kev might be 3rd in averages on 1st June.

Rolling averages don’t count,Kevin is still 4th in averages IMO

Please don’t make sensible ideas ,the Promoters don’t like that.

Think it shows the perilous state the sport is in today.Sad.

1st Heat decider

Mr Barrie was

I agree Coles would have probably have done the job.Big gamble you never know though might pay off.

The way the sport is run that is probably the case nowadays.Very few travelling fans these days.Even then you can be watching same riders riding for different teams most weeks.

Apologies it seems this match was today.I thought it was a fixture change from a few weeks ago.

Glasgow match was cancelled weeks ago.

Loose change for Tigers stars

The Sedgman gamble doesn’t look like paying off and it is Avery short season waiting for riders to come good nowadays

Can’t believe they are charging £110 to watch a GP.

It’s noticeable that the ‘ lesser’ riders are concentrate on abroad now,GB is just there ‘top up’ money.Best equipment will be there.

Wells is having a poor spell.Not really got going this season Imo

Saw some great meetings there ,tragic really.

He didn’t look in ANY CONTROL at Edinburgh on Friday ,he will always be injury prone the way he rides, feel sorry for his opponents.An accident waiting to happen IMO.

I don't believe that was the case, only my opinion though, there are multiple reasons why attendances have fallen ,failure to attract new fans and keep them is one .IMO

That’s just the forum thought ,my concern is where are the fans disappearing too (or is all the talk about poor crowds untrue) and why.Nobody seems to have the real answer.

Surely Positive comments would be welcome on the forum

In your opinion, which is what a forum is about

It is a Forum, people express their views and thoughts ,don’t think it alters anybody else from actually attending speedway.All sports have them nowadays you don’t have to join if you don’t want too.There are not a lot of fans on this forum these days mainly because they have gave up on the sport for various reasons.They can’t all be wrong.It seems Promoters only want positives to be aired on forums,that why there is so few left to comment.Imo.

Don’t think Berwick are the only Club suffering dwindling crowds and considering the results ,it proves that there are a number of other reasons for this scenario ,which have already been discussed endlessly on this forum .The negativity is depressing but it can’t all be wrong.IMO.
