that does nothing for identity and credibility, doubling up has to be scrapped
-
it doesn't matter who it was , it matters that there are people in the bspa who seem to be completely oblivious to the current state of speedway in Britain and think staying as we are with a couple of tweeks to the rules and days is going to see the sport survive, talk to the fans ,listen what they have to say , some of it may be crap but there is a genuine fear on the terraces that speedway is dying and we are close to the end , from asking fans and riders it seems to me the riders want one thing and the fans want another but the bspa are taking the riders side and that is going to end one way and we are already in the depths of that way
-
going to say I can't believe they would put tracks at risk of closing but thinking about it of course they would , the BSPA specialise in single minded self interest
-
i believe this was used at the start of the year and the SCB banned it
-
and right there in the first half of that post is everything that is wrong with the national league and why Jon cook shouldn't be let anywhere near it , I don't have a problem with Paul hurry riding in the national league but not at the expense of a young rider and definatly not for his £500 a meeting
-
easier to check weight but any suggestion that is mooted will be shot down by riders, Rev limiters only work if they are set below 11,000 revs and then they become dangerous , it's unlikely that rev limiter currently used gets hit on British tracks
-
I was also there on the 3rd may scoring 3+1 from 5 and again on 30th of august riding for Glasgow scoring 2 from 3
-
and this is where the problem lies, riders can't and won't see the wood for the trees ,they have a mentality that they are somehow disadvantaged by any bike changes even if it saves them money in the long run , ask ex rides and they will agree suggested way forward for bikes but while they are part of it no chance
-
you won't get 10kg extra weight without including the engine , the more weight the slower the bike , it will make a difference and because it does it will never happen
-
to be fair the standard bike prices haven't risen that much but nobody rides the standard bike anymore , tuners are only doing what the riders want , basically what the sport needs to do is put rules in place so as the standard stuff is used , put 10kg on the minimum weight of the bike, simple rule , riders will use standard stuff instead of lightened more expensive bits to get the weight up and also it will slow the bikes fractionally , they may even use heavier flywheels and make the bike less volatile
-
I rode there in 99 a few times for Berwick
-
no it isn't all down to that one meeting although one other rider seems to be having a go at getting rid of all the fans and I know through a couple of connections that the promotion has to take some responsibility for their actions but all these things plus where we are as a sport is taking its toll and still a lot of folks (including riders )refuse to change or even accept that we need to change
-
crowd of around 350 , it is heartbreaking 🙁
-
and because of the latest brainstorm to come from the SCB high intelligence meetings they would get a fine for speaking out of line
-
it's reading things like this that makes me think there is no hope. 🙁

This Saturday Workington who are just about keeping their heads above the water and are desperate to get their crowds above 500 😳Yes 500 are having to race a home meeting with 2 top riders missing because they are representing other clubs in the elite league championship or whatever it's called these days . Do we really need to keep spelling it out for people to understand ??
-
doesnt matter if we invented another day and raced on that , if doubling up stays the sport is in its final hours
