Most people rightly or wrongly voted for her hardly an a agenda . That is in your view ..others see it as him joining a team that was miles behind before making the greatest sporting comeback of all time ..you don't rate it but the public did . -

Why do think the media give it publicity ? because the public do care about it hence why they never give Speedway any ..you could see the people in the press and TV's thinking to themselves lets run massive stories about Ben and Sailing tomorrow because no cares about it . Why do you think speedway get's no publicity ? because it's popular with the public ? -

Not at all you ask the question about the Sailing and who was interested so I gave you the answer . The media give coverage to sports that the public care about hence why Speedway and Tai never got a look in as to them being a world speedway champion means nothing and is not much of a achievement . -

Not sure you tell me ...I remember THE Sailing being on every major news station in the uk the next day and in every newspaper in the days to follow not only in the sport pages but also the news pages ..How about Tai ? I wonder if we went into town tomorrow and ask people who Tai was and who Ben was what would happen ..you could ask 500 people who Tai was and not one would know all the other hand Ben is well known by the British Public . -

Yours is a stupid comment ..Tennis a pure skill game ..Mortor Sport on the other hand depends a lot on how fast your car or bike is . Without that you won't win anything ...take those rose tinted speedway glasses off . Your comment about the Sailing is another stupid one as that cup race was watch by millions around the world unlike any Speedway meeting. -

Why should he be in there ? Speedway is hardly watch by anyone anymore bar a small group of people . I really wish people would take off there rose tinted speedway glasses off and look at the big picture . -

Stop keeping the weakest in the league . The El should only be 8 teams ( best supported ) with a decent point limits . Setting the rules to keep the likes of Eastie in has held back the others . -

I think a reserve coming out to replace a rider in the top five is a lot more likely than riders in the top five replacing each other .Even if you were correct that rule would be a lot worst -

But it's doing the same as it has been the last 10 years ..bringing in rules that will bring in less fans ...unless more fans are found speedway will be dead .this is hardly a drastic measure it's just another way of trying to save money thinking that the same numbers will still come and watch . -

ok never seen the list ..have you got the link so I can see it ? What happens when a rider 3 weeks in after the draft decides not to ride ? will this list have a rider of the same standard on it not already picked to replaced him ? -
British Speedway Promoters Meeting
orion replied to dantodan's topic in Speedway News and Discussions
Indeed also what happens also when after the draft a rider decides that he no longer what's to ride for that club ..how can he be fairly replaced ? the folly of this rule will only be shown as these sort of things crop up during the season . -

The money side is a massive problem in this stupid rule ..we all know that certain teams will offer these kids more money than £120 anyhow ..what happens when Kerr say it's told to go to Eastie and just says no because the money is not right etc . -

orion replied to dantodan's topic in Speedway News and Discussions
Do Sweden and Poland have Nl standard riders at reserve in there league ? do the reserves get picked by them by the league ? I keep hearing it's the same system and how good it's been but is it ? and is it really the reason why more fans watch Speedway league matches in these places . -

Indeed , As I keep saying another agm and another that brings in rules that will bring in less fans . No doubt they do there sums thinking that the same number of fans will turn up paying the same price . -

The biggest joke about this crazy and mad rule is the loopholes that it will lead to ...People will be cheating all over the place ,also can't wait to team have to run rr . Not sure who is worst the people who brought this cow pat of a rule in or the people who on here think it's a good idea . -
