TB1

I get the point, but where are we going to replace him from the vast numbers of riders available lol

Trouble with speedway is that the Rome fire just keeps getting more intense?

Absolutely, whilst it was good to win it for the first time in 30 years, the prize becomes more and more pointless as the years go by.

Congratulations to Leicester and it would be nice to see someone else win the league for a change. More importantly the powers that be need to find a way of saving this sport, and soon.

Can I have a pint of that please?

I reckon about 35 with more morphine being injected into the business model!

At at some point there must be a tipping point where we quite literally run out of participants or in this case riders.

I agree. I bet a lot of Coventry, Cradley, Wolves, Peterborough, Swindon and Arena fans would like an 'average' season. This is not about us at Ipswich or any other team, it's about the sports survival now pure and simple.

That could be next year at this rate.

Surely though we must be getting to the point where the straw breaks the camels back. Sheffield (publicly know of course) have lost heavily on the last couple of meetings and we know crowd figures have not been healthy at other tracks. But with that potential scenario in mind what possibly can Poland feed off?

Imagine if you bought a luxury car for say 30k. Then they removed the electric windows, the air conditioning and stereo and still tried to flog it for 30k.

Think it was a shoulder injury. But Doyle has had injuries the last couple of years. I was around 30 yards away when he cleared the fence at lynn a couple of years ago. Anyway I noticed in the Sheffield Star they were complaining about low attendances and significant losses at their last 2 home meetings. One day these owners may learn!

I thought he was injured?

Even Hobson didn't have a choice!

Actually 'contrived nonsense' is great terminology.

OK not poor quality just poor organisation but I'm sure you get my point.

I meant the whole league is a punishment as it's poor quality.

Punishment for what? Everybody gets punished because it's a crap product!

This league is pants, and the sooner it's back to basics and one league the better. All I will say is congratulations must go to Lynn on a 60 year wait for a first ever win at Sheffield.

The sport has given itself a shot in the arm. Another large dose of morphine!

Question for Sheffield fans on here. Am I right in thinking that apart from a couple of draws in the 70s that Kings Lynn have never won at Owlerton?

Don't disagree but hobsons choice when you don't have any competitors? Once again the sport has failed its customers.

Can Speedway adopt its own anthem? Something along the lines of 10 green bottles.

The problem with British Speedway is it's now a bit like school dinners. In other words, the crap they serve up on your plate on Tuesday, will be the same Tuesday and the Tuesday after that.

As you know Iain, we are very lucky with Speedway in this area, both with past successes and strong local media coverage. I was encouraged by Richard Colemans announcement the other week and as he simply said we cannot afford another poor winter. Look at Mildenhall up the road, their challenge against Cradley is off tommorow as they cannot afford to stage the meeting. Let that be a warning to all.
