My last reply to your burner account IainB as I have a life outside of this forum unlike yourself. I'm mindful of the fact that you're clearly not a mentally well person so I'm going to be polite in my final reply. I hope that you can seek the specialist help that you need in order to overcome your mental illness because it's clearly got a strong hold over your day-to-day life. Kind regards TTT

Let’s not encourage the bloke.

LEICESTER: Ryan Douglas, Dan Thompson, Nick Morris R/R, Kyle Howarth, Sam Masters, Drew Kemp, Joe Thompson. KING’S LYNN: Max Fricke, Jan Kvech, Ben Cook, Cooper Rushen, Chris Harris, Jordan Jenkins, Jody Scott.

Totally fed up with it all.

I'm going to Leicester though... how can we be at 2 different places at once?

Your right. Unless Riss is returning and that’s freed him up

They have had literally thousands of pieces of unsolicited feedback down the years, via the written Speedway media, in person at the tracks, and obviously via Social Media.. With so much of it focused on the same repeating issues that were gradually turning even die hards away.. The only thing they chose to do with it was ignore it...

Had a spin at Belle Vue on monday after the meeting.

Count me in

@TTT is worth 8 of us though... I'm going to miss his posts on every clubs thread with his mock 1-7's 😉😂

Sounds second to none to me.

Its not a bad old life.

If TTT leaves there will only be about eight of us rattling around in here.

I would at a guess 70-80% on here are ex fans desperate to see it succeed but equally as things currently stand wouldn't be tempted back.

Those in charge ought to take a look at the comments on here and get some understanding of why they have failed the punter.

Doesn't he ride for Oxford? Isnt he only guesting.

...More depressing than a Smiths album cover!

And that's the most baffling thing of all... They have been doing the same thing for a long, long while, whilst Rome has been constantly, slowly, and gradually, burning around them... Many of us on here have "forever" pointed out the only inevitable conclusion to the situation, given all the evidence in front of our eyes... You certainly didn't need a crystal ball to be now saying "we told you so", nor any hindsight... You have to hope that, finally, those who have buried their heads firmly into the sand, are now, at last, going to make those radical changes so desperately needed... The ones they should have made after COVID... A huge undertaking to be honest given there is so much self inflicted nonsense to unpick, and the fact no one has already done it given its obvious need doesn't exactly inspire confidence that the leadership skill set exists, (as surely someone would have already stepped forwards to try and sort things).. However. Good luck to whoever is leading the plan... Getting the leagues to mean something, be relevant, have tangible rewards that create interest, and a joined up national marketing plan, has to be the main objective, as everything else will fall into place when delivering that..

Don't be so mean Iain Kind Reageds Iain

Witches to win by about 12 points, looking forward to my first visit as down this way with work

When you say I you mean we will still attend. The Premier league will unfortunately have to be watered down to encourage 2 clubs to come up The championship then needs to be watered down and some how incorporate some of the development league Not sure Mayfield like it, unless they are able to help the sport source a big TV deal I personally still feel an extended British Championship is most likely to attract new fans to a one-off big meeting than a local club has of attracting a new fan to be a regular

Not everyone is cruel like you. He can make his own mind up without you poking your snout in. Knob head.

Well here is the gun for the bullet

I think you're right. Speedway has bred a generation of riders who want to have their cake and eat it: they want to earn their bread and butter in the UK leagues and chase the Polish Zloty to put the jam on top. This forces the British promoters to dance to the Polish tune when trying to plan the home fixture list. This can't go on. We've blamed the promoters for years for the mess we're in, but nobody points the finger at the greedy riders whose jet-setting international ambitions leave the promoters tearing their hair out week after week to put on a do-able programme of racing. If British speedway is to survive, 2027 has to be the year when we revert to a single nationwide league (see my previous posting) and riders are forced to decide: either sign a contract to race exclusively for one of the 15 teams in a revived British speedway league, or clear off and ply their trade elsewhere. I reckon the promise of 36+ guaranteed matches per season without the need for expensive international travel - albeit in a slightly less competitive league - will be more than attractive to the vast majority of riders. For the rest we're probably better off without them. And for those people who always argue that there aren't sufficient riders around to run a 15-team league without doubling up, it may come as a surprise to learn that the list of registered riders on the BSL website runs to 249 names. It's time for speedway to bite the bullet or face the inevitable.
