Blame the promoters!!! I dunno if they were supporting GB or Aus but I can totally understand their defence of Darcy, there are some mean Brit bas****s out there ..... as there are Aus bas****s lol
You can't compare Cardiff with league speedway though, totally different baby! Apart from perhaps doing something special to get the fan's attention on parade ;-)
Surely folk support their team, fair enough if their team is defunct as it's not the same again.
Atmosphere and/or the the lack of it is a quadruple way thing, racing, riders, promotion and fans, it needs to almost be studied ......
Perhaps more top riders will go for the European Championship instead of the 12 rounder, wouldn't be so intrusive to their year and wouldn't it help our promoter's wish to race on Friday nights! ....
And apparently the staff are treated like sh**!? Brian Griffin and what a breath of fresh air he was! Perhaps they were too generous and that took it's toll at Lynn :-( Remember our 2000 team!
