Can’t fault you I’d expect the exact same

Surely those with admission tickets will get in free to any of the next 3 meetings or in Leicester fans case when the meeting is re- arranged - I’d be amazed if that’s not the case - after all any short fall would have been made up last night on food and drink sales a two hour hold up I’d have thought there would be increased sales in those areas . Those who are critical of last night I’m sure it’s an a aculmination of what’s gone on over the last few years if last night was just a one off doubt much would be said but it’s not just a one off ok crashes can’t be helped they are a fact of life sadly . Even in the build up to this meeting (or lack of it ) there was confusion on if Iversen was riding or not for the Stars - I found out he definitely was through a connection I have in the sport in DK anyone who knows me will no who I asked - so surely this confusion could have been hit on the head days before the meeting all the confusion does is put fans off attending - why is so hard to get these simple things right ? If it stopped 5 people attending it’s £90 lost to the club - all we all want is the club to be successful on and off the track all I see is little or no effort to promote meetings a week before there should be something on social media about up coming meetings not 48 hours before .

Yes speedy recovery to both injured riders . I wasn’t there and boy I’m pleased I wasn’t if I had been I’d been long gone before it was called off - sadly with crashes there is nothing the club can do about that - that’s speedway but gone are the days that fans will hang around like last night definitely would have been better to call it off in first instance all nights like last night does it rack fans off even more and they are less likely to return think you are spot on about getting to heat 10. With the demise yesterday of Rye House - speedway in general in this country needs to wake up before it’s too late . But is it important when two riders are injured?

Let’s hope the injured riders are ok and not as badly injured as first feared .

The man that could have changed things but he wasn’t allowed to was JC - Busters son . Sadly we are seeing the final nails going into the coffin- Now BT can pull the plug on league racing as the deal I believe was for minimum 8 teams .

If anything he’s done more harm to British speedway than any one that had the role before him - he’s clueless

Very sad day for Rye House Speedway and British Speedway - my guess they won’t be the last to close this season- British Speedway is a total farce the ways it’s run sadly we’ve reaped what we sow .

Any way on to tonight and hopefully a home win - the weather is good so hopefully a big crowd will witness a great meeting.

Good question

That’s what being a promoter all about you promote the sport you use all mean available to let fans / customers no what’s on offer building up to the event it’s self even bigging the event up - a speedway promoter naaah sit on your hands do absolutely jack rubbish to try to bring in more fans piss existing ones off to the point they walk away -

I Iasked the question last night and I’m told Iversen definitely rides for Kings Lynn tonight.

Well let’s hope he’s in the Stars team - as others have said he’s down to ride in the Esbjerg team and the Kings Lynn team one club will be disappointed let’s hope for Kings Lynn sake he’s in the Stars team .

If that was to happen the club deserve all the s##t that will be fired at them - that’s the lowest of the low if they play fans as fools .

Absolutely spot on - really don’t think they care or they’ve past caring - sooner the season is over and can revert back to being a stock car stadium is I’m sure how they think - if they don’t they’ve a funny way of showing it .

Must admit I didn’t even no there was a meeting on either- riders missing yet again so I will definitely be missing this one as well .

I’d not hold your breath on that one going by previous seasons when changes was needed and we failed to make them at the crucial time -can’t see it happening but we might be surprised I guess .

Definitely not the fans fault - promotions total failure to promote the sport and the bit that gets me and this is the reason I’ve not been to Kings Lynn for over a year is being totally taken for granted .

I’m sure BT pay something even if it is minimal

One repercussion could be the whole league collapses if BT contract is for 8 teams if Rye was to close will BT honour the contract ? and without BT payments will other clubs survive? Which could mean the whole league collapses .

I didn’t realise things are not good at Workington either . I’m sorry to hear this

I’m in total agreement I definitely have no wish to see any club close - all I’m saying some other promotions may not see it the same way as the Rye promotion or us speedway fans - hopefully goodwill rather than self interest will prevail at BSPA HQ we shall see .

Absolutely spot on it has big implications on visiting teams if Rye switch to Saturday nights - that’s said we don’t want to see the club close mid season but it could have a massive effect on the race for the play offs for visiting teams - in all honesty I will be surprised if they let the club switch race nights - the real only ways to get a level playing field 1 they carry on with week night racing or 2 and I don’t like saying this is they close and the meetings ridden are void . If they switch to Saturdays it’s going to have a big knock on effect with visiting teams . That said we definitely don’t want Rye to close - I’m just trying to look at it from other promotions point of view .

One things for certain speedway clubs are living beyond there means either cut costs or increase income that simple -the total failure of promotion to promote the sport and riders wanting cash that frankly isn’t there is a lot of the problem - until this is sorted the sport will continue to die

Also it has a knock on effect to a visiting team if visiting riders are unavailable on a Saturday.

It is a watered down product with out doubt but we are fast approaching the realms of watered down one big league one option or we carry on as we are and many tracks will go out of business so the choice is watered down to one big league with hopefully all clubs surviving or we carry on and see many closures ? I’d like to think it would be two steps back 5 steps forward over the next few years speedway in the UK is living beyond its means and it’s time to realise this before it’s too late
