The last time Belle Vue were on BSN was the first meeting after the GP weekend. 

IMO that's not a reason, I attended the 2 days of the GP paid 2 nites in a city centre hotel and still attended Workington meetings either side. Just saying 😃

Foxhall crowds are down too. Combination of having a poor team this year and losing the two popular heatleaders, and the new streaming service will tempt some to save a tenna and watch at home instead. 

And the nonsense of the pre season will not have helped..

I truly have never seen any business or entity commit so much Harikiri on itself as Speedway in the UK has done, particularly over the past 20 years as the digital age has boomed..

Year after year they have made poor decisions which have just compounded the poor decisions from the previous years...

Normally a business would fix its issues, even more so when they are so glaring and obvious, and their customers either tell them publicly, or tell them by no longer attending, but still closely following the sport..

I truly would love to know what the promoters vision for the sport is, and where they aspire to take it...

As all it currently looks like is this...

"Make it to the end of this season, do exactly the same thing next, then rinse and repeat ad infinitum"...

And what happened to Speedway Futures?

I'm sure Northampton would love to find a top heat leader somewhere but even someone who can consistently chip in with 5 or 6 instead of Batchelor would turn some of these near misses into wins.

Any day now.....

That "Wow" announcement that Rob Godfrey mentioned will be made public...

Probably waiting for Wimbledon, the World Cup, and the Tour De France to finish so it doesn't impact the amount of publicity it will attract...
