I’m going to wait and see what the structure and team line ups are (if any) before I decide if I’ll attend or do something else on race night. Let’s just say it’s not looking promising! Cash saved I suppose. Use it to go over to Poland for a weekend of two, or take in a few GP's from around Europe... Proper Speedway, with relevance, resonance, consequence and jeopardy... And not the contrived, make it up as you go along nonsense, that the UK sadly has seemed quite content in delivering, for far too long.. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great idea, lets help them maintain their strangle hold on the sport as they dictate the continual demise of speedway by stipulating race days/nights and hold the riders to account!!!!!!!!!!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes.... Because that is the only outcome isn't it? UK Speedway couldn't possibly be in charge of it's own destiny (ever), could it....? Or indeed, have been in charge of it's own destiny for the past 20 years or so using the millions put into it off Sky...? The current issues are not down to Poland, The GP's, Developers, or Landlords... Hell, let's even blame Covid too... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
