Which means that nothing at all will be done as no ones thought of it.

Didn’t they say that last week? and the week before and the week before and the week ……. ( you get the idea )

.

Speaking as a speedway fan and not the parent of a rider. I would not be attending a meeting this year. To be left in the dark to this extent yet expected to pay my hard earned and turn up to watch god knows who on a random date yet to be determined…. I’d have found another sport to follow weeks ago.

….. and they wonder why riders sign elsewhere

In the mid 90’s I used to race at a weekend supercoss / speedway meeting in the Munich Olympic-halle ( the massive indoor velodrome stadium next to the main Olympic stadium.) 8-10,000 people watching. The speedway was on late afternoon / early evening, the floor was boarded over with wood and we were all supplied with Metzeler road tyres … they sponsored the event, lights / loud music/ lasers the lot. For the evening event they wheeled in all the jumps / berms etc made out of wood for the track set up ( it took about 1/2 hour). The meeting was just as you’d expect with the riders disappearing into the stands under the seating, racing around corridors and appearing on the other side of the stadium. Brilliant mental stuff. It was great fun, ( paid well), there was no expensive temporary track to be installed and apparently the supercross berms / jumps could be used at other events. it’s not rocket science.

Yes

That tends to happen when riders are left in the dark …

I think just regular drug tests would see a few riders retiring quite quickly. Speedway is incredibly backwards in more ways than one.

He’s not the only rider to have known *sniff substance issues

More to the point, will they have any riders ?

Loyalty works both ways. Are riders supposed to sit around waiting for the UK to pull its fingers out of its derrière ? it’s their job, not a hobby.

As usual ….inside information found in the bottom of a bottle.

He won’t be riding unfortunately. But I’ll be there to cheer them on anyway.

Laughing after a rider getting injured? you seem nice
