What will 2026 UK speedway bring?
SteveLyric2 replied to Lionsman66's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
I thought that's what Ipswich have been doing!? -
Speedway on tv. Who do we look to now?
SteveLyric2 replied to Youhave2minutes's topic in Speedway News and Discussions
So the next obvious questions to follow your 'younger audience' statement is "what would attract a younger audience to attend regularly"? And "what age is a 'younger audience'? I cannot imagine a younger audience being incentivised to attend if they are getting easy access to full meetings on mainstream TV, Streaming or You-Tube! There has to be abetter chance of them being attracted to watch a short, sharp 'highlights' package involving some sort of jeopardy and gladiatorial battles (and no I don't mean Plymouth). -
Promoters (BSP Limited) meet regularly throughout the season both in person, face to face and via Zoom or Team platforms. Decisions and/or recommendations should be discussed and rubber-stamped at the AGM, as is the case with most company AGMs.

Or...."The future's bright, in the Blue and White..."😜 It sounds better when it rhymes.........😇 -
Championship set the 40 point limit for 3 years in 2024, based on the same number of teams in the league!.
-
Well he has quit Team Vaculik now that he's not in the SGPs.
-
12th November in Rugby I believe
-
Anyone would think that the Promoter of the bottom club has a greater say than the others at BSPL meetings?! OH hang on...................!?
-
Blowing his main engine in the pits during warm-up on Friday also didn't help his BSN performance!!
-
Yes sorry, I hadn't caught up with Issue 27 - not that too much has changed.
-
Rich stayed in the pits at the end because he felt he'd let the team down and didn't want to accept a medal that he felt he didn't deserve. Aside from that, so good to hear from Toby that nothing is broken, just a concussion. He intends to be at the end-of-season function, which was going to be announced on Friday but in the circumstances was decided not to. Poole fans, Watch this space........
-
Surely the team building points are the GSAs (issue 27), less 2.5% for any Brit rider?!
-
Well done and congrats to Gavin Parr and his Bears. It was nip and tuck upto heat 10 andToby's crash when on a 5-1, which knocked the stuffing out of the Pirates. There was some good racing, some great passes (nb. Glasgow fans) and both teams had some gating success (nb. Glasgow fans), but the Bears were just that bit better overall.
-
This brings back the question of Should speedway be promoted as a 'family sport'? It's been so for decades and look where that has got us! The crash and fight between Allen and Wright got more publicity from one single incident than a whole season of the 'family-friendly' approach.
-
OK I'll get 'Arry to give Barry and Eddie a call on the blower. Its a touch...
-
Maybe, but both are either one week events or are over and done (bust!)!!
-
The Hearns sponsor/promote/manage Fishing and Golf?????? Seriously??
-
You assume that all clubs have freedom of access to their stadia on any day. That's simply not the case. Also dictating to fans, let alone riders, when they must attend to see, or be in, their team wouldn't work imo.
-
Unless they get special dispensation to delay until say Jan 1st, then expect an announcement next month at AGM.
-
Surely coming up through the ranks, young riders want and need to learn how to gate first. Overtaking etc etc comes with much more experience

Ho ho ho keep supping your beer Lewy.
