It's not justified at all in this case but then again you're a very Anti-British Speedway member of this forum tbh. Put out a poor 1-7 from the start and the glory hunting fans won't turn up at all. Spend the money by putting out a good 1-7 and the glory hunters will bail out as soon as the going gets tough. That's on the fickle fans. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTT Posted 5 hours ago Author Report Share Posted 5 hours ago Moan about budget 1-7's that lose constantly which leads to an outcry for team changes. Moan when a 1-7 doesn't have an Out an Out No.1 due to a Club balancing the books. Moan when an expensive 1-7 gets put together in regards to the costs involved. Proof is in the pudding that moaners will moan regardless. British Speedway Owners can't win unless they're are signing riders like Bartosz Zmarzlik on £20 per point contracts.

Hence whenver I go to watch United away, given so many more fans are in attendance than usual at those grounds that don't sell out.. Eg The Etihad .. We sing.. "Come to see United. You've only come to see United"... In Speedway terms, upon the likes of BV visiting all the current 2nd tier teams, (if there was one league), the crowd levels for their visit would be significantly higher than normal I would suggest.... The novelty would wear off, and probably quickly, but that initial visit would definitely see a decent amount more in attendance.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree. Better riders bring better crowds and I’m looking forward to seeing them in UK leagues whilst I can. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Local(ish) derby's are just as likely to attract bigger crowds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not always, went to Oxford v Belle Vue last season and the crowd was awful. Next match was against Plymouth and the crowd was much bigger.
