Yet again a post will little idea about the money side of the sport ....the moment you tell people stokes is replacing puk the crowd will drop no doubt below the break even figure the side then gets beat meaning less come the next week wtc ...see this is another problem with die hards who just think people turn up week in week out no matter who is riding because they do .

Another fan with zero idea about the money side of the sport .

And of course they would affect the crowd numbers ..I guess when it's not your money it's not a big deal ...this is the trouble with speedway you have to find a balance of having rules while keeping the crowd numbers up ..it's not easy and as I said no one found the answer when it comes to squad systems .

People get shouted down because they keep going on about squad systems but so far no one has come up with one that would work in the UK . Explain to me how if a number 1 say is missing how he is replaced and by who by in a manner that won't cost money and will stop the crowds numbers falling .

Not really ...the point is in no other sport does the amount of time someone is on tv affect the crowd so why would it in speedway ..as I said just another myth .

You can watch superstars from other sports on tv all the time ....but I doubt it would stop people going to there local ground if say Ronaldo was playing football or MVG was playing Darts down the local pub . in fact there is a school of thought that after watching them on tv your more likely want to watch them in the flesh ...Not sure why people always apply these myths to speedway .

Who Paul Gascoigne ?

Easy home win as the Cov reserves are to strong .

So why are you replying then ? surely you have better things to do with your time ?

Good win tonight in a very dull meeting with only two heats of decent racing ...Morris still in top form but sad to see how Poor Freddie is these days a shadow of his former self ... Greaves was comedy and amazed the home crowd by being able to do four laps without falling off .

Bad luck by the looks of it for the aces ...the ef for Zagar cost them the win .

Shame the oppo don't

Looks like cov have a mountain to climb

IF the main nations had the same format there own riders would still be likely ride in there own leagues ....I guess the answer to my question was no one

Correct as in Speedway thou more so in Poland it would not be allowed to happen in the first place ...As I ask before what riders from the main nations don't ride in there own league ?

They got crushed at home by Poole ..if you get beat how can you be invincible ?

The question was do they race in there country ...had a look myself and both do .

A bit of a worry ..shame it's not Poole they are racing as the match would carry on no matter what .

Both of them are not British so I really don't understand the link .....another way of looking at it is what riders from the main nations missed there own league while riding elsewhere ?

What a race !

No need ..I read about it on the back of my box of cornflakes this morning

There is only one TR this year ? never knew that thanks for letting me know

When did I say otherwise ?

Unless it's putting up fake info from Right wing websites of course

But he's already been a World Champion riding in the El ....it's not a given just because he never rides in the league that it's going to make him better or indeed give him a higher placing in the gp's
