adonis Posted 1 hour ago Report Share Posted 1 hour ago (edited) Since the british leagues are pandering to Poland , exactly how many riders are there riding here ,who wouldn't be if we went back to 7 days a week speedway . and and not being dictated to who can and cannot ride on any given date ?

cowboy cookie returns? Posted 1 hour ago Report Share Posted 1 hour ago Possibly 18 to 22 depending one way or another. The British league really has no option but to go along with what Poland wants. We have run our league structure into the ground while the Poles have made theirs something that people want to invest in. I am hopeful that Mayfield might be the ones to stop the rot & turn the fortunes of uk speedway around but it’s a long road. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE DEAN MACHINE Posted 45 minutes ago Report Share Posted 45 minutes ago The ultimate answer is stop complaining about what other countries/businesses are doing and focus on what you are doing wrong and strive be the best at the job and then that problem goes away 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was bored the other day, (retirement can do this to you), and found myself looking at the British U21 Final Results from around a decade ago, as I was curious to see how many riders are left in the sport... As "there not enough riders to have one league", obviously... Very, very few from around 2014 - 2018 (I didn't check any further), are still riding.. Some of the names, quite high up in the scoring, were unknown to me, and had beaten some of the riders still riding, and doing "OK" today... These lads would now be 28 - 33 ... Surely a fair % of them would have developed to the required level (they definitely weren't " wobblers"), if they had been given team places, rather than giving those places to journeyman foreigner after journeyman foreigner, who have ridden over here using a "revolving door" system... The GP lads are great to watch, but even that can get boring, and certainly are not cost neutral over a season when you measure the revenue they bring in.. UK Speedway should simply have cut its cloth accordingly and opened their businesses on days that their potential highest amount of punters would come through the doors.. Probably too late to sort it now, ssdly... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
