Bigger crowds than they got for league speedway, totally geared towards the fans experience, 25+ races per meeting for £12 and I’m pretty sure the British upright meeting was 16 speedway bikes as was the 3 team tournament last week featuring national league riders ,you call it gimmicks I call it entertainment

And the fact that you have to keep repeating it tells you how utterly stupid this play off system is, I thought the poles were beyond this stupidity that British speedway specialise in but clearly not, polish speedway and the Isle of Wight are the only things keeping me a speedway fan at the moment, even the GP has lost something for me, seems it’s just going to be the Isle of Wight at this rate

It breaks my heart but speedway has reached an all time low this year, I know injuries can’t be helped but overall this meeting just about sums up the sport, Newcastle closing ,cardiff last weekend, barker suspended and I hear we are just around the corner from another bad headline, where did it all go wrong ? -

I think the ambulance with have the run round the outside on the first bend but the tractor will have a better gate with those back tyres -

If that is a broken ankle that that fence is too hard, it wasn’t a high speed crash and an air fence should easily absorb that impact -

Is that air fence filled with air ? Cause riders seem to hit it like a solid fence, it doesn’t seem to give -

And more tractor racing while we sit in silence, I really despair at our sport at times -

I’ve said it before but track apart I find belle vue NSS very underwhelming but it is one of the best things to happen to British speedway in the last 20 years, I’ve only been there as a fan twice since it opened as it doesn’t make me want to go there, I’ve been there about 6 times working and on 2 of those occasions I finished the job and went home instead of staying for the meeting, I just find the place has no soul, the racing is great there but for me it must have that something and I don’t think it does, would I go to a GP there ? No I don’t think so, I didn’t go to the SON meetings there and I usually go to that sort of meeting, I preferred the dog track next door tbh but maybe that is because I used to enjoy the belle vue v wolves meetings there and later on I loved riding it but that’s rose tinted glasses I suppose, this is the first year I didn’t go to cardiff and although I kind of missed the day meeting friends I’m so glad I didn’t pay to watch that, it was awful and watching on tv I was bored, great win for Dan bewley but I don’t think even he realises that his win has probably saved Cardiff’s life as a speedway venue because up to that moment the end was nigh, Phil morris was in Birmingham yesterday , was he checking out a new venue ? -

I was impressed by that stadium too but the area surrounding the stadium was very dodgy, still amazed we had a car to come back too and we were able to walk back to it without being mugged -
UK speedway slowly dying

I just read a post from speedway GB about have a poll about changing the league scoring system for 2023, good god we are facing the end of professional speedway in the uk and they have ideas like this , I give up
