And that is the continuing magic of UK domestic speedway - deluding itself that all is well. Or abig turnaround is just around the corner. A bit like the UK motocycling industry in the late 1960s.

Perhaps at Belle Vue, but if you would like a little side bet on all Elite matches attendance average over the new season, say £25 paid to the BEN Fund, why not?

It is ludicrous BUT you should know "that's British Speedway", Once world class but now.........

It's going to be so much more than thrilling! I feel that IF it actually does run the average gate for regular leagie clashes are unlikely to top 500. Get that paid streaming working effectively to bring in extra cash. Of course enormous gates for the play offs, so why not let a computer work out the final positions and just hold the play offs?

As John Mac nRoe said . "You cannot be serious"!

How many make the play offs this year? Please don't tell me it is 4!

I certainly won't be and won't even think about it without the 2nd jab - and even then Hmmm?

That must be correct if quoted by the Promotion, mustn't it?. Mind you a more likely estimate of attendances in recent years is between 800 - 1,500 so seemingly no problem.

At the Firs since I was 7 years old and Ove Fundin arrived. Echo nearly all of your sentiments, about faling our of love with the sport. My happiest memoroes of speedway this century were with the arrival of Robert Lambert in the NL. Now that's what I call speedway! Buster cares nothing about wether you go or not and has nver made any effort to intereact positively with the older fans who want better racing and more variety ( myself included ). As for paying to watch Lewis Bridger! Well I would want to see that he turned up for 4 or 6 matches AND made a visible on track effort to race, before I paid my money,

We are going to get a lower standard anyway - perhaps even a much lower standar. But with no lower admission and hence almsot certainly even lower crowds. One league with a much lower overall level is preferable for the variety ( to me at least ), rather than doubling up to the extent it had reached.

Falling crowds won't change. No chance.

Simply perfect ideas - sincerely. But if we ever dream that they might be picked up and utilised by the BSPA you need to find some way to allow one of the Promoters to say " I;ve come up with a couple of good ideas,. How about this"! Coming from a fan or any kind of anoutsider - has in the past, been a definte NO NO.

Once they are gone, in terms of speedway, they are gone - we must assume. The best you can hope for is a speedway related street name.

3 to 6 months after a safe vaccine is found ( to allow for it's distribution ) and that could mean - maybe August / Sept, but could also mean Easter 2022. I am not joking.

So we will know about 6.05 pm Uk time then, when Phil Morris nnounces it? And yesterday he said if it is not on as a one day event on Saturday , it will not be held. Maybe Boris J. is heading the "What to do next FIM /BSI panel"?

Give the Gold to Australia ASAP?

As some one in sport once said " you cannot be serious". Bomber Harris has long had his day and is far away from international level. Any Youngster in with Lambert & Bewley.

That, then is good to hear. Thank you.

That is good to know that. If by that you mean TR did not get any fee in relation to this Eurosport deal, which is not what you said. You said he was not involved, which is not the same as still being entitled to his "cut" - sounds more and more like a gang or a cartel!

Did he really collect $20 million? Perhaps he settled for $5 million! Not bad for that long ago investment of time and nudge nudge , who you knowness.

I last attended a speedway meeting on March 8th 2020, when the young riders on display brought back much of my enthusiasm to watch unpredictablel RACING and not the "Hh I missed the gate this time, so I will wait until my next heat and try again then " of domestic league racing that I have paid to watch at Kings Lynn every year since it opened, including 2017 / 18 /19. More and more boring as far as warching racing take place since the turn of the century.

What happens is just as you have posted. Speedway fans miss half a dozen heats. It is quite likely that they bought speedway in a bundle and not specifically to make anything of it or build it up.

Thank you PR I can add it to my happy viewing schedule.

They did not mention the date of the SoN yesterday from the GP in Torun or UK studio. WHEN is it set for now? Will it be on BT or Eurosport?

And can it be seen today on TV in the UK?
