You could say that about any TV sport . A lot of new fans no doubt got into speedway by first watching a Sky match To be fair I think they have made a much better effort in terms of picking matches this year ...more matches on normal race nights a nice mix of El and Pl etc

Most fans can only afford to go one once so that's not a problem .if you want to watch more then is nothing stop you watching the PL and NL on other nights . Speedway can't go on as it is and we can't go back to the good old days so let's give it a go .

Another new poster I wonder who you could be .

Yea it's a joke team's at the top level still trying to ride on Fridays and at Weekends meaning 3 or 4 changes per match . I said it for ages, change it to one or maybe two race days with say 8 teams no Eastie etc . As you say it will be tough but it's about people get brave and gave it a chance . Swindon had a big crowd to watch him do just that the other week .

Nearly fell of the chair ..how will Garrity scared the oppo when he is half a lap behind ? The bottom line is Garrity is hopeless on big tracks . I bet Hancock and Ward are not sleeping just in Case Garrity makes the side

As I said there were plenty of matches in the old days when riders done the same as Troy Batchelor new I remember riders getting teams into ko cup finals by guesting only for that team going on to beat the riders parent club in the final it's nothing new .

Never stopped people going in the old days when Guests were still used ..it's a myth to say people don't go anymore because of that .

Crump just told you that Frost the bloke who knows the crowd figures say they were poor . NO offence but I have feeling he's likely to know unlike you ...The bottom line is that the crowds were poor on Fridays .

It's just a shame you got nothing in between them .

I Think he might go if Speedway could attract younger fans .

Leicester at the moment for me .

Starman in wrong shocker

Are just pick Lambert ...with a bit of luck he wiil in the gb teams for many years to come so might as well start now rather than carry on with riders going nowhere like Bridger and Baker and Cook .

2013 for me ,...King ,Barker and Hancock

Just as many stupid rules in the old days when the crowds were big ..as well .riders were paid by other riders to drop points etc etc the sport was more bent than a David Beckham free kick .

What running a speedway meeting that no one would go to and making a huge loss . Putting on a speedway meeting on the night of a England world cup match is madness .

Has to Eurosport for me the pictures and Camera angles are so much better than sky. also the racing is much better and there is so much more grip on the track now it's on Eurosport .

Maybe they should have the final at Poole next year ...Tai would never be able to find any dirt to pick up there

Best post on the subject so far ...the bottom line if they get this up and running they will get all the praise in the World but if they fail they are going a cop a lot of flak mainly because of the stuff you talk about above .

Do you know if the New Stadium will have a basketball court ?

Yet more great News .

I Remember when Adder was drunk at Swindon Speedway and a fly went into his Cider and me and Frigbo had a bet if would drink it or not .

Best laugh I have had in ages ...what a double act . can't stop laughing

The PL has the better tracks and even more so now it's has given Leics in return for Boro so the racing will be better most of the time it's as simple as that .
