Poole have ridden there for at least 50 yrs and now the tide has become an issue this season.Where has the tide been all these years ? Track preparation might be the cause of the trouble IMO .

IT is a good point the most clubs now are run by speedway fans rather than business men and they have submitted to riders demands rather than the income coming through the gate and are now relying on Fans Trust ect.to keep their head above water. I praise the Glasgow business men for putting their money into the sport though,although you can see the investment in the land keeps their investment in there own control should the Speedway venture go wrong.

Promotions shouldn't touch him with a barge pole given his history.

It's just a sly dig as usual.

10 heat matches are becoming the norm these days.Between lack of medical cover and a shower of rain.

Have to agree with your last few Posts.It does appear the riders with their demands regarding tracks and wages are dictating the sport as oppose the the people running it.It is meant to be sport first and foremost.Most people realise the catch 22 situation but will it change now or is it too far into the mire.Its obvious regarding entertainment value it getting beyond prices that fans are having to pay regarding family entertainment( more than 1 member attending regular)which the sport has relied on as its basic package.

If the riders donate £1/point of their earnings / meeting that should raise a £'s.

Agree,but own interests come first in Speedway,in the best interests of the Sport of course.!

Monarchs have added Worrell since last meetings,2 wins for Monarchs if Andersson does anything from reserve at Shielfield IMO .

Berwick are bringing their covers with them

Redcar on paper good team ,on track! Will give Sheffield a hard time if they turn up afew track specialists .

It's a great idea to sign the highest AV rider in league,then use guests when missing,but the guests have to perform which is not gaurenteed ,eg( Schlien at Berwick).Mockery of the sport IMO

GP star Cook really should be cleaning up in these meetings,is he average watching?.His Continental form is poor and he won't be getting many offers IMO.

Don't know the answer,but perhaps because Iversen replaced him as a tactical it may count as a ride.Speedway rules are a bit confusing!!!

Sad loss to the sport, very dedicated.RIP

Best summer for 40 years 1/2 the fixtures and we still get it wrong.Still you can blame the weather if fixtures don't get finished in time.

Better hope long range forecast is way out for this week-end.

Summers helping Tigers to 4 pt away win.Berwick were never going to be in the top 4 anyway

I'm pleased to read that most Speedway fans just see the forum as a depressing joke and the only problem is overpricing,and I though the sport was in trouble.

Glasgow away win will be a worry for Monarchs play off chances if Worky manage to win matches in hand,although Monarchs are still well in the race and with Team changes are looking strong.

Unfortunately it's only the fans that think track preparation is not up to scratch a lot of the time.

He done the same move when at Berwick couldn't be bothered making the effort,it's in the rules that they can have a day off if they want.

If Monarchs make play -Off's I fancy there's chances of winning them.

Seems a strange Masterplan

Like people are pointing out it has to come down a level to give the sport a chance to recover.That is my opinion too.
