Still think Doyle's front wheel just touched the dirt deflector and turn it up the wheel,but hey it's only an opinion hope Doyle's injuries are not too bad.No malice from Lambert though Doyle would have done the same move in the circumstances but he is not showing the same form this season for some reason. -

I think his front wheel touched Lamberts dirt deflector and the wheel rode up over Lamberts back turning it in,nasty crash.Racing incident IMO .Dont think Lambert should have been DQ. -
Would like to know how much Cook invested to compete in British Speedway to get to his level.! probably would be shocked! .While riders deserve all the can get ,the money is running out.Harris another one complaining about money.What are Cook and Harris earning when they are riding in Uk,quite a lot IMO .

I think when averages dictate that you to bring in riders like Wallenger instead of youngsters who want to protect for next season you can see why the sport is in the mire. some Kind of grading MIGHT be the answer IMO .

It's not compulsory to keep reading if it's doing your head in,chill it's forum.What the thread shows is a lot of fans have similar views on the decline,but the people that matter don't seem too think so.Its about opinions !

British Tracks - Can your local track be improved?
Fromafar replied to Stoke Potter's topic in Speedway News and Discussions
Track that is prepared properly can give great racing.Imo -

Having just read Dicks blog on the website I am pleased to report that once we add the final piece of the jigsaw ( Fans Trust) everything will be hunky dory.

Crazy times,knee jerk reactions IMO
-
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

Away points won minus home points lost - an update
Fromafar replied to Tapeworm's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
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 . -
The continuing decline of Speedway
Fromafar replied to wealdstone's topic in Speedway News and Discussions
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. -

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.! -
The continuing decline of Speedway
Fromafar replied to wealdstone's topic in Speedway News and Discussions
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. -
The continuing decline of Speedway
Fromafar replied to wealdstone's topic in Speedway News and Discussions
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! -
