  1. with the new polish rule and possible retirements, we could potentially lose 10 riders next season blodorn (sweden & poland kvech ( czech league & poland) b cook (sweden & poland NKI (retired, if not poland & denmark) Zagar (already gone) klindt (denmark & poland) brennan (possibly poland and sweden) nicholls (retired) douglas (poland & sweden) howarth (retire) 2027 could look massively different
  2. i thought that was a cracking meeting despite the scoreline.
  3. Mcdairmid in for tate yes racing incident, nothing more
  4. No lawson on parade truck AGAIN Not even gone for his medal. Unless he walks over later Edited. Hes walked over now
  5. Rumours in polish press was that he was lublin bound as they been sniffing around him. Dan's a loyal man so will take a big pay packet to get him out of wroclaw I imagine
  6. Trouble is they well watered it last time Leicester was there and the track was unraceable.
  7. The music they playing at ipswich is shocking. Sack the DJ. This wont bring kids in
  8. What the hell they playing over the tannoy after heat 8. My god.
  9. a comfortable lions win i think here, a heads up to anyone travelling, the woodhead pass is closed due to fires so make sure you make alternate plans, the snake pass is very busy as is glossop due to the bypass being built
  10. As said in the quoted post, something to do with him going into an area he shouldnt is what i was told,
  11. hes not a lone voice, But the main voice needs to be removed from his post
  12. that was weeks ago though, rumours he just signed 2 contracts to return to action and then this happens, silly boy, and while people will think hes been naughty again, id say more careless than anything with going into a postcode area that his license does not allow
  13. dont think you will see jason on a bike anytime soon if you believe the rumours of a return inside
  14. look how its turned out lowering the points limit year on year, massive gaps in team qualities, so why not try something different
  15. there will never be one league, quicker we forget this idea the better for peoples mental health
  16. 2026 as been a hard watch and that started from november 25, a winter of discontent not knowing what structure will be, lost lots of fans before a wheel was even turned, and they not done anything to entice them back. i remember dicko saying they will be sorting 2027 out very early during the seasoon, well we are nearer the end of the season and nothing about 27 as been mentioned, set out a plan that fans believe in and you might just entice these people back, fans are out there, thats the frustrating thing. before they start trying to bring new fans in they need to bring back the fans that have walked away, start of by securing a TV deal, thats a masisve loss of money for the clubs, plus people easily forget the sport is still going when all the domestic league racing is behind a paywall that only existing fans know about. no one knows the figures of BSN or the clubs private streams but they are deffo having an impact on attendances, yes clubs are still getting money with them watching at home but they lose out on parking money, food and drink and merchandise sales, so they must be taking a massive financial kick in the bollocks with it. scrap streaming need a new vision, Rob Godfrey has to stand down, which i think will be this year, if they can, while hes not everybodys cup of team, and tbh, i see him as a guy that will leave the sport and never be seen again, but try tempt Tai to run the sport in uk, hes got no ties with any club, and we know his marketing value is very good. leads me perfectly to marketing, or lack of it, constantly asking fans to spread the word about speedway, i think most fans do that anyway but your job as a promotor is to promote, and it seems no one does, Plymouth are doing a fanstastic job of it. that old saying, speculate to accumulate, advertising is not cheap but if it gets you an extra 100 people through the door at £25 thats £2,500 extra every week, add on top of that drinks and other sales. Ask Mark Phillips what hes doing and plymouth and follow his ideas, he seems to be upping his crowd. dont do one league, every sport needs a top league to sell, put the points limit up and go back to the old style , 45 point limit for 7 riders, scrap the RS and put it in the champ. prepare your tracks better and you will see an influx of riders return, riders want to race uk but they dont trust track prep when you speak to them or hear what they have to say on various podcasts. season tickets should be discounted like ipswich have done. sell the season ticket valued at £20 per match, and give them the option to pay monthly, starting from november, atmosphere is missing totally, each track have a certain area in the stadium where fans can congregate and make some noise, start meetings on time, and make sure they last no more than 90 minutes (crashes dependent) regular fixtures, far to many teams going 4-5 weeks without a home match, should be 2 weeks at most re-brand the play offs, i like the Denmark way of doing it, whoever finishes top of regular season ride the final at there track in a 4TT, or make it top team straight to the final and 2nd and 3rd team if a play off tie for the final we all want weekend racing, but we just cant do that unfortunately, the top league need to ride all matches on Mondays, this is uk race night, there will be no clashes with any team in europe and gives clubs' full availability to all riders fort every match, dont scrap the guests but limit the amount of times you can use a guest,
  17. Thats everyone tonight. Very poor meeting
