First of all I like Frigbo's post for the Fact that Tai wanted changes to suit him . Saying that I am still in favour of one or two nights for the El . Talking to the stadium oweners about race nights about the number of matches is something you have to do every season and sure thou there would be less matches for rent, we already have teams like Wolves and Cov already using the stadium for other matches while others like Kl own there own . As for the others what are they going to do kick them out ? rather that have 10 nights rent a season and even more if you run Nl etc . As for number 1's missing there could be rr or job shares etc it's not impossible at all . Also what else do stadiums do on Mondays nights ? I don't remember anything at Swindon so yet again I real can't see that as a problem . I may be wrong I never seen any other sport move forward because they got rid of the best people in the sport . Are say it again the only way forward is to some how get more people to watch the sport not keep cutting the costs to lower the standard so more fans walk away ,that plan been in place for the last 25 years -

What part is clueless ? the meeting was average ( it was ) the crowd was poor( it was) not lot of people watch Pl matches( that's true ) and people like watching top riders yet again true . We all know that any pl match will be bigged up to better than it is and the El visa versa that is cast in stone now .. look forward to your return -

Unless we try we won't know ...The one thing that is certain the crowds have dropped as the standard has so if we just keep doing that year after year it will kill the sport off very slowly . Time for people in the sport to be brave . -

Move on ? then you suggest a idea from 1965 A big league has been tried it never worked and never will . As for Pl standard how on earth would bring the fans back in ? as the crowds are poor in that league . You might not like fans want to see the big names and that will never change ....the thing that drives fans away is the lower standard of rider . -

Why ? yet another average meeting bigged up to be one of the greatest meetings of all time because it was in the PL .The fact that the crowd looked up 250 shows that people do want watch top riders no matter what the racing is like . -
What about putting a side together that was the best in the land .

Yea you just wait and see no one can do better than Middlo -
I see that they have booked Richard Lawson for all of the Matches for Stead while the World cup is on .This is most odd as surely after The KL match team GB are surely going to use Stead again away form home

Of course they would not be able to ride at home on the same night just like they don't in Sweden in Poland ,the idea is to have a home match every two weeks . Having racing every two weeks on set days in Poland and Sweden has worked so not sure why British fans would be any different to fans in Sweden and Poland who have got used to the habit of going every two weeks . -

So get this right you are saying that if it was known that Zagar was to be replaced by a junior that it would no effect on the crowd ? in the lifetime of Speedway Zagar is a not big name but in the UK as we speak he one of the best riders and one of the biggest draws . Still waiting for your answer about what teams can't ride Home matches on a Monday night . -

Of course a rider like Matt Zagar would have an effect on crowd figures .it's common sense that the stronger the side the more likely the crowd's going to be bigger . -

If that's what the Fans wanted then Pl and Nl would have the bigger crowds the fact that they don't shows it's not what the fans want Are ask the question again what team's in the El can't home Matches on a Monday ? Because a lot people want to watch the better riders I understand you don't but loads do -

Putting crap teams out is a risk, as I said you don't save money if you lose most of the crowd . Putting out a cheaper product won't always save you money . I have already said have a go at running top speedway on one or two race nights . Not sure if it would work but at least it's a new plan -

The Pl is full of foreigners ..no doubt the idea of flying crap foreigners to appear in front of 500 fans is a fantastic business model ..Clubs go bust in both league's and find it hard to survive . Intill the likes of you start to understand that then Speedway has little chance of going forward
