I agree that clubs need to think long term now. Actually like Workington and Leicester building a track in a place that is almost untouchable for housing . Problem is starting everything and guaranteeing profit for the future. I fear clubs in cities are going to be faded out and clubs that are in low populated areas that will survive...just . Half the problem is not enough fans at the gate along with clubs having a lack of control with the stadium and its use..

The future of British Speedway after the 2023 season
FishersGate replied to TTT's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
Really hard to put into a words ANOTHER speedway club to go. I just feel the BSPA won't even care though, I think they would run a 5 team premiership I just think they would! It's ridiculous. One league is the way it's going to go or a northern league/ southern league. The only way to make a club run now is build a track in the middle of nowhere not near a city or housing and have low running costs. So basically bog standard facilities. Where does this end? Honestly who's next? Panthers, monarchs, wolves, Birmingham, mildenhall could all go next season..what a absolute mess. Not to mention the ones we lost before this season like Swindon, Coventry etc. -
Emil Sayfutdinov and Co bring in the crowds?
FishersGate replied to Phil's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
Yes possibly..I think on a Saturday there was more of party weekend feel to it. Loads of people having beer and sharing a journey together so a few can spend a few quid at the bar. The crowd was decent Thursday but nothing spectacular, maybe the rain had put some people off? I did notice quite a few panthers fans last week which was good to see.. -

FishersGate replied to Phil's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
It's a gamble for sure. I was surprised when they announced it. The fans I've spoken to are split on the move. We loved Saturday nights and the crowds were decent. We were almost too good last year especially at home and I don't think it was cheap for the bates paying our riders maximums every Saturday, but that's what you get with a cracking side. It will be weird for me tonight going on a Monday. The usual die hards will be there regardless of the race night . Let's see how I feel about changing race nights come the end of the season -
Leicester vs Ippo KoC QF 2nd Leg 17/04/23

Think Joe Thomson and Hume will be very busy unless Rew can master the track early on. This is very close to call -
Leicester vs pboro 13/4/23
FishersGate replied to Gasser90's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
He looked great and much better than last time he rode at Leicester -
He should have signed for us this season to be honest just for his home form

Leicester vs pboro 13/4/23
FishersGate replied to Gasser90's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
I think I counted we had 5 incidents with bike issues and panthers had four so fairly close. -

Quite possibly yes. I can't remember which heat but I stand near the pits and could clearly see Dan's bike packing up -
Leicester vs pboro 13/4/23
FishersGate replied to Gasser90's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
I think it was a fair result really. Every rider team has bike problems and neither team deserved to run away with it. If Nicki was in the team I doubt the scoreline would have been much different. Also that was the first laps any of the the Leicester riders had done at on that track. So it was always going to be fairly close throughout. I expect a similar scoreline at Peterborough with it being fairly tight all the way through. As a lions fan I'm delighted with that result as this was a potential banana skin kinda meeting and we won. -

I think Dan had an engine issue as well -
I think last night sums up what the wolves team is up to this season. Toughest team to beat at home but away from monmore there going to struggle. Still think they are going to decent season though..

FishersGate replied to Gasser90's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
To be fair I did say that worrall would bang in a load of points. Well done the panthers. It was a gate n go kinda track last night. Frustrating from both teams with many bike issues but I still enjoyed it. Sedgy looks awesome which is a promising sign for the lions. -

The impression I'm getting is that BSPA don't even care? I mean, they can't run clubs themselves but surely need to revamp EVERYTHING in speedway to make it work. Like you lot have been saying...it's been coming for years . I've only followed the sport for a few years and I haven't seen anything like it. It's literally decades behind every other sport. I took my partner for first time last season to a meeting and she said it was like being in a time machine and she was transported to the 19th century.

It's so so sad..I do fear Yep I can see that happening..one league with national League riders plus a few championships riders. Low costs..
-
So Peterborough will be gone. Edinburgh maybe as well next year, mildenhall possibly as well. Birmingham could possibly and no sign of any other clubs coming back? God this is dreadful..BSPA what are doing about this..
-
Can someone pay Steve Lawson to help out? He clearly knows how to start from scratch with a new site. I do feel the panthers need a compete reset. A new site and maybe a chance of leagues. I don't know I'm just sad that the panthers maybe gone for a while.

It was the greatest 50 yards Peterborough fans had ever seen
