I must admit I was surprised by last nights crowd at the NSS... I get Citeh were parading their trophies through Manchester, (and the crowd literally ran into several dozens) , but I thought more would come to watch Artem.. One thing is for certain, crowd levels alone certainly dont bring over the top riders... To get the best over here you need a sponsor willing to bankroll any deal I would suggest.. And that way of running a business is only as sound as the sponsors ongoing commitment... Sponsors money should really be the icing on the cake... Rather than being a large part of the cake itself... I have attended both Emil and Artem's meetings at the NSS and both showed fantastic talent.. Would I go and watch though when next in town? To be honest, given I get to see them ride regularly on my TV each week, then, quite probably, the answer will be no... Unless in a play off... Remember. Crowds dwindled quite significantly, and swiftly, whilst all the top names rode over here in the 90's and 00's.. Many more of them at the time, and, probably, more famous than those who ride over here today.. For several years I have always felt that a "reality check" would naturally end up being had, and that the clubs would simply reset, and organically put themselves in their "natural right league" for their fanbase level and financial backing.. With Covid in particular coming along and being that clear gift horse opportunity for radical long term focused reset and thinking... Instead, like so often, that desperately needed radical change and reset was avoided... If they were not going to do it then, then you can only presume the current malaise is their only plan... Brady seems to be a forward, modern, bright thinker... The type the sport need so much.. Let's hope he is soon back at the helm..

stevehone Posted June 13, 2023 Report Share Posted June 13, 2023 i for one am gutted Alex needed to make this decision, i'm sure it's nothing club related, he just needs to sort things that are more important in life. hope to see him around still supporting the sport without the extra pressures 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TINYS Posted June 13, 2023 Report Share Posted June 13, 2023 Now Buster's back does that mean we get to see more of his big boy's toys and near 10 o'clock finishes again. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would say that’s a given a 10pm finish more time for punters to buy his burgers and pint he’s every incentive to string meetings out . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone who thinks otherwise must be mental. Both Lynn and Peterborough in an absolute mess. Has British Speedway ever been in such a mess? Certainly not in my life time.

Speedball Posted June 13, 2023 Report Share Posted June 13, 2023 Just listen to the people who are telling you it’s personal reasons and not anything related to speedway, his business or the suchlike. Somethings in life are bigger than sport. Plus for what it’s worth, I believe Buster is honouring the Laguta deal. However I do believe Jakobsen has gone. Will probably be Pickering back in when fit, which I’d say will make us stronger, not weaker. Personally I’m sorry to see Alex leave. Sure he will admit he made mistakes but he’s ambitious and successful in business and wants the Stars to be up there challenging. Hopefully he’ll be back involved when the time is right. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post WeslakeJohn Posted June 13, 2023 Popular Post Report Share Posted June 13, 2023 What I don’t understand is why people are slagging off Buster for having to work to a budget. All successful businesses have to do this. I would rather that he pays what can be afforded and keep speedway going rather than overspend and bankrupt the club (as has been the case in some other clubs). 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lets hope he will return to the club when the time is right. We could do with more like Alex in speedway, someone with a bit of ambition.

Unless sponsors step in to help out up with the finances. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
