Can forget about Poole ever moving back up then as race nights are a deal breaker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When the promoters realise that there are too many clubs trying to run full time professional speedway teams and those who can afford to run a loss making club as a hobby or are steeped in self interest step aside and let those with ambition & the vision to work towards profitably promoting the growth of the sport with one top tier league of eight teams.

What do you mean by step aside, sell or give away? Let's take Sheffield for example, judging by the owners comments over the last few seasons clearly they've had enough but nobody has purchased it despite it being available.

Let's take Sheffield for example, judging by the owners comments over the last few seasons clearly they've had enough but nobody has purchased it despite it being available. Good question. By step aside, I mean, if they are unwilling to adopt the need for change, instead using their position within the BSPA to keep things as they are and thus hold back or deter new thinking by ambitious and visionary promoters. Then by all means stay in speedway, but run a team on a semi professional basis in a more suitable league. As for Sheffield, as with any promotion, if the numbers don’t stack up to make it viable in the medium term for current or potential owners, then there is little hope for their long term future. one of the issues Sheffield have is their stadium availability and more so the unavailability of the back straight terracing which severely restricts the possibility growing attendance & associated revenue.

Could see the following strength sides, put together for example purposes Score out Oxford Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
