THE DEAN MACHINE

Gutted for bomber

After this they should all be locked in a room and ask each other the questions of why a poor crowd, pricing? Promoting? Race night ? Tv ? Combination of all, something different but for the future of the sport do something

Breaks my heart that the sport can be so good but just not reaching the general public

To be fair both the pawlicki’s were great value for money over the weekend and they were really good meetings too infront of really good noisey crowds on really well prepared tracks but I’m sure there is a point to your post somewhere

I don’t consider the line up poor, it’s a representation of the current level of British speedway, the problem is he pond of riders is so small that if you have a bike, a licence and can string 4 laps together you have a good chance of being in it,,the further the decade you go back the bigger the pond the less chance of being in the BF

As mad as that sounds a share of some events would of generated money that could of kept tracks like Buxton alive but there is no collective thinking when it comes to British speedway and just as a side note I consider it a stain on British speedway that Buxton was allowed to close

Only problem I see holding it over multiple rounds is I don’t think the fans would support it enough to make it viable which is a shame, as strange as this may sound, we should do what Poland does and stage it at lower league tracks, I see someone mentioned iwade, ridiculous yes but crowd wise I can’t see why that it couldnt pull in well over 1500 folks, there still is a big fan base in Kent/essex/sussex so why not ? But maybe not lol

I just don’t understand the riders attitude like Lawson of not wanting to ride, firstly it’s the British championship, then you have the carrot of a GP outing of which 95% of riders will never get that opportunity again and they may not think it or even care but they are contributing to the downfall of speedway in this country, I would of jumped at the chance to ride even if that chance was no chance of getting anywhere, I honestly believe some of the modern riders are just oblivious to the privilege of earning a living from something they are supposed to love doing and are showing absolute disrespect and contempt to the fans of our great sport

Częstochowa riders seem to be giving drabik a really hard time, I know he used to ride for them but is there bad blood towards him?

Nicki is becoming WWF, you can’t say it’s not entertaining though

Tungate riding against 3 riders there

That Knudsen guy is some gator

Pedersen nearly getting his arse handed to him by a reserve was only going to end one way by someone in the pits getting blamed

I don’t understand rybnik’s decision to leave Chris holder out of the squad for today, yes not riding that well but not like they are spoilt with superstar replacements

Brilliant team performance from falubaz even with madsen nowhere near the rider we know he is
