Why would the sport increase and the crowds all come back if Matt Ford quit the sport? The sports needs many more Matt Fords to get the sport out of the sick bed. It’s like saying, “For the good of British Speedway, the sooner they go (Belle Vue), the better. It is no accident that since they have moved to Kirky Lane and then onto the NSS, the sport has been on a steady decline. That is an undeniable fact”. See what I did there? About the same amount of twaddle as one of clubs post.

Proof please. His season ended when an out of control Fricke smashed into him at Leicester. I was there and saw it myself. He then posted a sickening picture of the injury. He tried to make a comeback at Pila but pulled out, and didn’t ride again that season. Poole had no choice but to find a replacement but we were never going to cover for Andersen, as it so proved.

Completely different age demographic to the UK and Sweden. The problem for uk speedway was a lack of investment 15-20 years ago. We haven’t got a younger generation watching. All into football, where the football premier league dominates worldwide. Need major TV money to bring in the top riders, etc. Not going to happen.

No he didn’t. Read the article. He rode at Pila in an aborted attempt to come back and failed. Andersen told the Daily Echo: "I'm not going to ride. Apart from the meeting in Poland, it's been six or seven weeks since I rode a bike so I've decided to call it quits for the season. "There is a saying that you are only as good as your last race. Having not been on the bike for seven weeks, my performance would be different to what it would be if I were race-fit.”
