its not the fans that have put speedway in this position.

i wonder why they do it these days, i always did it for the love of it. paid or not.

jack no need to ride in uk then. unless his visa means he has too.?

the government do it.🤣

well at least you know why its been going down hill from them times, and it isn't going to get any better, and dont make me laugh about it being professional. and dont start me off on the 4 Yorkshire men Monty python sketch. 🤣

this is why its in the mess it is.

dont know the reasons , but if its down to costs, thats their problem, they are no where near a level where they think they should be making a living out of it. thats the problem today nobody seems to want to do it for the love of it, if you cant survive past the apprenticeship you dont make it pay.

they now have their names on their front wheels,

NOT THE SAME WITHOUT THE RUSSIANS..

their last coach was and at a higher level..

thats the point I'm making riders would have to pay for their own tyre's insurances vans ect,. it shows a lot of money is needed and the public are not willing to pay it.

for got about the government's bit.😁

for a laugh lets throw this out , average crowd 1000, x £20. =£20000 12 riders start money £500, each,=£6000. £100, a point x 90 pts =£9000 leaves £5000. for club to use. rider 12 pts makes £1700. thats what we can afford. thats how i would start again. so dont start what about this and what about that,.

i probably missed 2 meetings all season this year. because on holiday, do love watching the racing there, but will be cutting back next year. sorry to say.

i paid £54 to fly to turkey, cost me £50 to get taxi back home from Manchester airport no more than 10 miles. mental

been some poor crowds at Bellevue this year, dont think some gate receipts covered their costs, only sponsorship been helping the aces out this year i recon.

its just with people throwing riders here there and everywhere, and not knowing the costs involved, gate receipts don not cover it and they are going to be less next season.

A few people on here putting together teams from their averages, for next season, but would be interesting to see what they thought each rider would cost + travel for that team. forget all other costs of running team, just purely riders wages. would it add up ???

and it will eventually bite them in the arse..

do you work for the government.. 🤣

also expect a couple of quid rise per meeting. which wont go down well. my take one league get rid of top stars and drop price at least a fiver. clubs want top riders put on individual events thru season. like we had in the good old days😁

costs will dictate what happens to speedways future, and its not looking good. we can all have our own opinions, i would love to see all top gp riders every week at belle vue. just like your opinion its not going to happen.

its not about opinions its about costs.

everyone's got to cut their cloth accordingly, to survive today, but speedway isn't.

only one for me soren sjosten
