I am surprised because when you know and chat to the people involved in the sport they all see the issues and problems and some even have great ideas and solutions but when they get together they seem to suffer group think and those ideas disappear into outer space. Something that always resonates with me was a conversation I had when I was working for Adam skornicki, Adam is a deep thinker about the sport and despite not being credited with it a major influence in the continued polish rider gravy train, anyway I asked Adam why he doesn’t get the top jobs in Poland and he said because all that happens is you become one of them, your ideas are sucked up and spit out and nothing changes and I can’t be that person, is that what happens here? 

No...

They just leave Speedway...

Adrian Smith a case in point. .

He had very limited knowledge of Speedway when he became CEO at BV, but was "blown away" by the core, raw product that took place, and saw huge untapped potential...

Unfortunately he was less "blown away" by the operating model around it, and several of those who delivered such a model...

One of a good number who knew what was needed, but stopped from doing anything, so those "tiny, tiny empires", many of which want so many different things from fhe sport, could keep doing the same thing ad infinitum...

I know everyone is frustrated by the lack of news but, and I am not a user of Facebook, twitter or any other of the social media sites so I may well be wrong but it seems unusual that riders are not making any comments about the current state of affairs.

Perhaps they have been sworn to secrecy or else and possibly those in charge are checking all European schedules to see when they can put together a fixture list that does not clash.

Surely riders need to know where they are and start booking flights etc and getting sponsors on board and although no one knows when the season will start and it could be as late as April/May the silence from all sides is deafening. You have riders who did ride for Ipswich last season seemingly not signed up in the UK. 
 

it all seems a bit contrived but no doubt all will become clear by June/July you would hope.
