  1. IOM the gate money is no where near enough to keep a s/way team afloat ,sponsors have for a long time been a significant and vital source of income to keep the sport alive .I would imagine that the costs of such riders as Jason Doyle and Emil Sayfutdinov are mainly underwitten by sponsors not the club . My experience( 30yrs ago admittedly ) of dealing with riders with regard to the money side of s/way was extemely challenging to say the least I personally have a lot of sympathy for any promoter trying to run a team in this day and age .
  2. I found Cardiff better watching it live than when I watched it on TV as I said maybe to do with temp tracks .
  3. Surely this is the end of his career now pushing 40 yrs old two serious injuries in less than 2yrs ,must have made his pension for post s/way life by now .
  4. BZ in general wins every race he needs to ,there are bound to be occasions when he gets beaten but his main focus is the GP's that's quite obvious .
  5. BZ spent most of the early heats on them thanks to Morris/daft rules !
  6. Regardless of what format you use over an extended period ( 10 GP'S ) unless there is a consistent run of bad luck the cream will always float to the top !
  7. IMO he saves just that little bit extra for the GP'S . Almost all his races tonight were to coin a phrase "out of the top drawer" !
  8. I must admit I thought that the riders should keep their racesuits on .
  9. I have never been a fan of Morris either as a rider or whatever he is supposed to be in s/way now . They seem to be trying mess BZ about anyway they can total BS ,technical penalties/exclusions are why I don't watch F1. Hope he blows the lot away tonight even though got the worst draw !
  10. IMO this sprint thing etc has been brought in to stop BZ winning again as he never appears to be great in qualifying , would have been far better to let the Russians in ( still think he would win ) thus ending the speculation of how good he really is .
  11. Excellent news that Tai is on the mend hopefully will fully recover to lead a long and healthy life ,with regards to speedway I think that a decision is some way down the road . Imo people either over- under estimate wealth ,speedway is in real terms expensive to participate in, even at the very top compared to the overall rewards .
  12. Sad to hear of what appears to be a possible career ending crash ,Tai should perhaps give retirement serious consideration on this occassion wishing him a speedy and full recovery .
  13. I was just wondering if there was any news on Scott ,I suspect that he may have had time with his injury to consider this the perfect time to retire as a rider .
  14. speedway has been desperately short of a"white knight " for decades the amount of time ,effort and money to boost the sport has always been vastly underestimated I suspect WBD have now learnt this !
  15. I feel there this could be good for the sport the ,attedance was greatly reduced from that of years ago at Cardiff so the demand for tickets will be less .This will allow for the reduced capacity of the NSS ,at the end of the day I go for the racing we have in the NSS one of the finest tracks in the world . The other thing is if Bewley dose not cleanup both nights ( 40 points) he's never going to be WC Imo !
  16. IMO we should give B/Vue a chance it is one of the finest tracks in the world ,I went to Cardiff for a number of years but cost and the track itself were the main reasons I stopped going .
