Cook is out of his depth in GP,I have no problem with him back in Championship ,the issue to me is the money it is costing to have him in the Lower Tier in GB ( so we are told) not many promotions can compete I'm sure.Its obvious that Glasgow have better funding than most clubs,but they still have to make it pay( or do they).It doesn't help the situation the sport is in.IMO.

The main point being is that the sport can only pay out what it can afford what it generates in revenue,many clubs are paying out more than they can afford and it has come to a head.They simply can't keep raising Admission and hope the fans keep paying up,which what they seem to think is the answer.!

interpretation ,misinterpretation And " in the best interest of the sport" .The only rules set in stone in this sport.

The trouble is Speedway is a summer sport and any rainfall would also be a nightmare .Catch 22.(we do have covers though)

Nah! Consessions Col got his Bank Loan he will be there I reckon

Only in Speedway could you virtually 1/2 the home fixture list for the season and they still struggle too fit them all in.Shambles.To make it worst not having weekly fixtures ia damaging attendances at most clubs IMO .

It is a nice piece of " out the box thinking" getting Promoters to listen.I wish you luck though.There will be a few journeymen riders starting to get a bit twitchy of the present situation IMO .there are a lot of Promotions starting to suffer with lower attendances these days.

Starting to sound like the Promoters AGM already.

Do you really think the Speedway Hierarchy would even listen,doubt it it's their ball.! This forum is just for moaners and gripers according to some.!

It's all about self interest,no co- operation.Its just a circus now.As everyone is saying the sport needs Independant people in charge,but that will never happen.

Ronnie Russell sums the sport up nicely in this weeks SS is complaining about lack of fixtures at Swindon due to Teams refusing dates because of missing riders(quite rightly)but then sums it up by saying Teams can expect no favours from him regarding fixtures in future.! Usual self interest among the people running the sport IMO .Some body in charge has to get a grip of fixture list and tell them to get on with it.Promotions picked the riders they wanted to ride for them!! If the go missing tough!

Manzares was very poor at Berwick looked like a junior .

But has he been he been dispensed with or is he still a squad member.That is what I'm asking.

Could explain Worrells poor meeting on Friday ,or is he just having a bad spell.

Mark Riss has posted he has been dropped by Edinburgh.

Looked quite sharp in his after meeting spin at Berwick last night.Still got that smooth style.

Really!

Good win tonight,mostly gate and go ,only Auty provided the entertainment with his never give up attitude which paid off with a couple of passes.Even Covetti won a race when got out in front out of the 2nd bend.

Willie Lawson!

Correct,fans are giving their opinion of why so many fans are deserting the sport which they are entitled to do,as Scott rightly says they do not have any solutions,but it is the people running the sport that has to come up with the right solutions,the fans simply pay their money to be entertained.The sport is in crisis we all that,now the Promotions are starting to realise the situation,hence his blog.

That old chestnut

IT is affecting their business though.

He is only asking that the Promotion produce a good racing track whatever work has to be done,it fair to say the the entertainment has dropped this season IMO.Whether it is the track or not is open to question and opinion.Personaly I think the track is not great.
