Then the sport will die at a professional level.

Every club has to run on the best night for their business, to attract the best crowd. If the riders can't commit to this, then they have to go. What is more important, The track surviving, or the riders financial needs.

Rye used to be a nice place to watch speedway in the uncle Len era, although the stadium was starting to look shabby in his latter years. With the cost of repairs and a shrinking fan base, Len decided to jump ship, who can blame him. Rye has become a very uncomfortable place to watch speedway, and dragging over there on a Wednesday night has become a real chore for me. Still old habits die hard, and I have not missed a home meeting this season. Will I get to see another one, that is the big question.

Did I mention rye house. I was referring to unusual call offs in other parts of the country!

Unless it's a bit breezy up Norfolk way!

There was a short sun break at rye last Wednesday during the belle vue match.

The train station car park is only £2 After 4pm.

At least television is always on!

Too sunny must be a possability.

After tomorrows cancellation, Rye will have three home fixtures to rearrange. Swindon twice and Leicester. Three more big financial losses on Wednesday evenings. Midweek speedway is not sustainable at hoddesdon.

Meeting still on according to BSPA website. Maybe someone should tell the powers that be.

Fingers crossed that rye are not the first victims of the fixed race nights era.

Kent get excellent crowds for NL racing, especially when you take into account the race night and start time.

We were one rerun away from a declared result last night, is that acceptable to you. With such a tight schedule to running meetings at central park, completing the main event is essential to keep the paying punters happy. Is that clear enough for you.

Crowds are down everywhere I go. How low do they fall before tracks start closing. That is the big question.

When the price of speedway went up to over a pound a race, The writing was on the wall.

A very tight meeting last night which was always going to be decided in heats 13 & 15, when Kent usually come to the party. The presentation has certainly slipped at central park this season, first race dead on 6.30 seems to be a thing of the past. With the dreaded curfew always looming, The management need to up their game.

I remember the no.8's and the track spare, but I won't talk about her!

A bargain for those attending!

Surely the people that still go should also have a voice. It might stop a few of them knocking it on the head.

Indeed i do. It was bad enough walking on it, let alone riding on it!

Wimbledon was a bit rough in the CL era Deano, but it was as smooth as silk up until 1991!

Have the promoters ever tried doing some market research. They would be afraid of the answers if they did. A simple questionnaire is all that is needed. Handed out at the turnstiles as you gain admission. It's not rocket science is it.

The promoters won't do anything to promote if it costs them money.

Must be the first dead heat in years, I thought speedway had done away with them. The last one I saw was at somerset over a decade ago!
