I agree on all that has been said so far. I got to the Scotwaste Arena (Armadale) every friday. I live about 25-30 miles away so thers fuel costs right away. All because Edinbugh City Council are too ignorant to take the sport seriously. Then its £13.50 an adults £5 for kids 12-16 anyone under 12 with a paying adult is allowed in free. But then you have £2 a program (who actually reads that rubbish?) you have about a fiver at the snack van. Then your pints, raffles, fuel fund. Also missed out the £1 for the car park (all adds up ) Prices need dropped to get more people into the stadiums and they need to stay low to keep them there.
Also on the rules side. Have you ever saw a newbie to the sport being told ALL the rules? watch there face drop and turn white.
There is no need in all the rules we have, atleast the bikes are simple an engine and a seat why cant the rules follow that method? Lose the TR its a stupid rule and can ruin a teams night and season if it proves vital on enough occasions. Lose the Points rule, so money will talk atleast we will see some proper competition rather than 2 top riders and 5 duds following behind. speedway has the foundations to be one of the top sport with its riders/fans access. As many of you will know by now i have been lucky to get alot of help from one of the pros to get my own gear going, but no one outside the sport would believe that we follow a sport so great that you can have a pro at your house helping you fix your own bike.
