I think thats the most important part with Eastbourne, the word team A forward thinking promotion that has built a team on and off track that values its fan base and wants to improve that and communicates so well with the fans they feel valued by the club Way to early to make predictions but looking good, on and off track.

Tom Brennan?
-
Hope he scores more than that to be fair..

I jest of course.. Many ex UK riders do this behind the scenes for our youth and in my opinion youth wise, we are starting to move forward. We are starting to show the signs of this, its a long term programme that was implemented a few years back that is starting to show a few good prospects and in the future, a few more I hope..

Very interesting

British speedway youth policy in full swing.

He's said he's only looking to double UP when he's settled so...

Its not Kings Lynn!
-
I cant see that, hes a body builder and has bulked up a lot since he rode, chunky is not the word...
-
It will be interesting to see if we can keep our 1-7, if so, we will have a very strong season...
-
I thought plan B was to hope plan A works?

Too many clubs would not agree. For example you have sent Eastbourne, one of the better and most proactive run clubs, down to a semi pro league but offered their declared 1-7 as available to the top league. Poole, Somerset, Leicester and far too many clubs would be insulted with this.

Yes, the stock car track at Arlington is on the outside of the speedway track and after the stadium is used for speedway it needs to be left ready for a stock car meeting, fence wise. Cutting a 12" ditch for a safety fence is not an option for obvious reasons. Arlington goes into tier 4 on the 26th, can we see that lifted by easter? I have my doubts..

The money has dropped in Sweden, so racing in the UK, although riding more meetings will be more profitable. Clubs need to play hard ball with riders but there is an opportunity for the UK to leapfrog over Sweden to become the second most attractive league for riders. IF we get it right and thats a BIG IF..

Im currently reading John Berry's (Ipswich promoter and England manager) book 'Confessions of a speedway promoter' and he said then in the late 70's early 80's that the sport needed an Independent governing body to run the sport with an elected board of promoters to help and advise. He was spot on 40 years ago and he's spot on now even more so.

The other thing to take in account is that Europeon riders from January the first will require a work permit to race in the UK, no idea what criteria will be needed but looking at the way footballers could be treated it could be fairly high to gain one.

Setting a budget for speedway 2021
M.D replied to cityrebel's topic in Speedway News and Discussions
Most if not all riders will have set up equipment ready for 2020 and just not used it so will be a minimal set up cost for a lot of riders and most British riders -

Not looking great weather wise for today either

How Many Of Us Are Losing Interest.?
M.D replied to Sidney the robin's topic in Speedway News and Discussions
Lost interest a few years ago. Started watching as a kid in 1976 and worked for a rider for around 9 years ending around 2011. Never got the same buzz watching as I did working, not been to see a meeting since 2012 but follow the sport and sponsor riders to this date.. -
i see Eastbourne are now looking forward to the 2021 season, they are now renting the stadium facilitys directly off Eric and Margret Dugard and no longler through the company owned by Martin Dugard and Jon Cook..
-
The way things are going, I can see a massive impact on next season too with crowds in stadiums..
-
There was a bit on Tom Brennan on TV in the south and Ford Jr was interviewed at the stadium and it looked so run down.. I thought then something is up
