cowboy cookie returns?

Well if the team is signed hopefully we shall have an announcement soon.

We could regret that I think a forced year out and a more determined Gino could have massive improvement in him next year.

I'm happy with the tac sub rule change however I fear even more double uppers and possibly guests. These two issues should have been tackled or at least a plan put in place to scrap both of these over the next few years.

Speedway GB on twitter has 24000 followers compare that to the cricket ECB who have 740000 followers the sport

Hopefully we can get major change and then with a better product go out and promote. Awareness of is a major issue but no point in trying to market the current micky mouse sport that we have.

I first went to Ipswich as a 10 year old with school the next day and I remember lots of kids my age being there every week Thursday racing was not a problem. Almost always home by 10 to 10.15 after 20 to 24 races every week.

Didn't we get to keep the BL trophy for winning the league title 3 times? I'm bored but how about this 2018 top flight Hancock Manzares Nicholls King Heeps Covatti Hume

Take it or leave it could be right but there are those in the BSPA who believe that televised speedway is actually detrimental to the sport here The above taken from Philip Rising.....that just shows stupid some in the BSPA really are. Speedway must be the only sport that hasn't managed to harness tv for the good of the sport.

Thing is only those that attend or watch speedway on tv on a regular basis are aware of who these international big name riders are. Speedway supporters might be getting excited about Vaculík signing for Leicester however I doubt that 99% of the UK population would have any Idea who he is. Point being that the product needs to be right to attract newcomers big names won't achieve that.

Should have done it years ago and gave the job to John Berry. I can't understand why they don't want it. I know it's their trainset however the way they are running it they won't have anything to govern in a few years at least if they had a independent person who could shake the sport up they might have a chance of saving what they have.

Watering down does not work. It's been done pretty much every winter for the last 25 years and the sport is almost dead.

Let's hope that something more far reaching comes out of this one than the league name change and rubbishty new logo that was decided at the last one.

The rule book!

And an unbeaten Rohan Tungate So onto 2018 the attendance for both finals shows that the interest in the town is still there. Hopefully Louis can put together another competitive team.

Having just watched the Australian GP was that really Sedgman riding he didn't give up once!

should SCB run the sport in the UK.? Speedway control board makes it sound like they sbould....the BSPA should be no more than a body to put ideas forward to the SCB

At least our top 2 who were injured riding in the final not off skiving in Aus

No point spending money to promote the sport to a new audience until the rules that make the sport a farce are sorted out.

How times change Peterborough qualify for the final and 2 of their top riders can be arsed to ride. In 98 I seem to remember the Craven shield final 2nd leg being rained off and and both sets of Coventry and Ipswich riders rode into November when out of contract...... Commitment vs take the piss!

If the clubs own riders can't be arsed to ride in a cup final that says alot about the state of UK speedway and unlines all that is wrong in terms of fans unable to connect to their team. I aways thought that contracts were effective until October 31st? If Holder and Wilson Dean are both out of the country then they should along with Sedgeman should face a 12 month UK ban which would also mean no visa or right of residence here for the season. Harsh maybe but the sport needs to stand up against those that think then can do what they like. Both sets of fans are being short changed.

Holder is on a weekend break with Lords Lucian and shergah
