TB1

We all know the state of play now with Ipswich team building. On paper we always get a silk purse rather than a sows ear. The problem is that 3 months into the new season, we discover the silk purse is fake!

Presumably speedway stills generates considerable coffers for spedeworth not just in stadium rent but food and drink sales. And I guess that if they replaced speedway with extra stock car meetings they wouldn't get that extra rent. Also I guess that not every stock car meeting is full to the rafters just the big events.

Do you know something we don't?

Reserves with 23 point averages I'm up for that 😀

Do the promoters conclude the second part of their jolly this week?

Sorry the button stuck. But yes I m sure you'll one or two good riders in that list.

As I stated previously on this thread we should go for unknown Swedes or Danes. Jenson when he was at Peterborough or like Jacobson at Rye.we never seem to want to try that route.

I can only presume they don't have a good business plan or are poorly advised. You never see speedway advertised only in speedway media.

Do we know all the 11 clubs?

I guess it's always the old addage of a professional sport run by amateurs.

You are probably right. But if your business is going down the toilet wouldn't you change the way you do things. Regional leagues with less travel has surely got to be the way forward to cut costs. 6 man teams with 32 point total average has to be the way forward. Not because I want to see a weaker product. But because the sport needs a serious reboot. As I stated earlier how on earth do the likes of Scunthorpe and Berwick survive if nothing changes.They both threatened to pull the plug. So presumably both promotions are satisfied that nothing has changed and will carry on haemorrhageing money until they fold.

Another year of golden opportunity missed to rebuild the sport from the bottom up.if a number of teams struggled this year, how is that going to change with the same format next year. It's a bit like making a flat loaf of bread as you have forgot to add the yeast. But on the next attempt you forget the yeast and think that sugar is a better option!

Mediocrity here to say I'm afraid both at foxhall and British speedway in general. The office rug at the BSPA offices must be like a mound now, with everything the promoters have swept under it over the year's.

Wasn't intentional. Sticky fingers on the send button!

As I stated in this thread earlier. It's the same old crap recycled into a new year. Nothing changes and Rome will continue to burn. Do the promoters honestly think they can tinker and get away with it. Radical changes is the only way ahead. Even if means all teams following a weaker formula to rebuild the sport from the bottom up. I guarantee the same discussions will be held on this website in a year's time regarding the poor state of British speedway. As I stated in this thread earlier.

It's a fair bet to say that there will be little or no change with the rules or regs. The promoters will continue to jolly while Rome burns. I do feel that most arguments on this website are academic as I am afraid chaps that little or nothing will change.

How about unknown Danes or Swedes. Other teams seem to do well with this line of approach. All we are talking about is recycling the same old faces.Does anyone think Risager is a step forward?

One big league,22 teams,6 man teams,no guests,maximum 2 foreign riders including commonwealth.42 league fixtures.one race night.32 point limit. £10 maximum admission. £1.00 Programme no doubling up.I'll live in fantasy land cos isn't it where most promoters live?

Can't imagine more than one or two promoters are making any money given the current state of British speed way. Eastbourne have learnt a very cold lesson.perhaps that's the way forward for all teams.

What's the betting premier league will be about 12 teams if Berwick or Scunthorpe stay in. And the elite will be 8 teams if they can con them into all into staying in. Doubling up and FTR to stay.

I often notice in the speedway star that promoters say we'll be in this league or that league.How do they know if we don't know the set up yet.or do they know something we don't?

Same old same old for next year I'm afraid

League cup semi final in September That's ridiculous
