I can only think its a chance for riders to earn decent money for six months work, and owners to have a hobby... Outside of that?... Many think that. No doubt. There’s also a few who see UK speedway as an opportunity to grow something from the current mess it’s in into something, bigger and better. Lots of hurdles to clear along the way and the principal of “less is more” will need to be understood as a first step. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read in this weeks SS it now runs to 180 pages. Was someone bored when they started writing it up or were they thinking of another sport and got confused. Next point to consider is getting rid of Vatcher, he has done a lot of harm to the image with his decision making and yes I know he may been on site to support younger aspiring riders who take to the track but overall him and few other cohorts need to move aside. Regulations and staffing needs trimming and the governing body should stop threatening riders who take part in Nora run meetings. Years back you had open meetings and often unattached riders would compete but now former riders and those younger ones with a reasonable amount of experience are throwing in the towel because the sport and administration is so badly managed to the point where it is mismanaged and if they awarded degrees for incompetence those collectively sitting on the table and the admin team would all receive a 1st. They then complain that the UK has a shortage of home grown riders. Take a look in the mirror chaps and I think you will find the who is to blame.
