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.

Glasgow v Scunthorpe.June 27th
Fromafar replied to Paul Johnson's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
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. -

That might come back to haunt for Armadale tomorrow looking at the forecast. -
Think we have to see out this season out before talking about next season. Things are coming to a head though ,changes will be required in Premiership at least.Interesting times ahead.

Which Promotions though is the question. There are more Championship Clubs than Premier.

Don’t think Glasgow or Poole will want fixed race nights though certainly not Mon or Thursday

Ashton has all the machinery and backing the some young riders can only dream .Has talent not sure about attitude and bottle you need though,it’s a tough sport. Time will tell what he does next.

The Sprint Race points are a bigger joke.Not really a fair way too decide Finalists, race times over a lap!!

Don’t know why the subject is brought up so much with other fans,especially as they don’t really know the the situation regarding what riders get paid( even at their own Clubs)
