Yes I am worried there may be no speedway.  we had a save our speedway in 1995 and like many others I’m a member of the 400 club some 30 years on  but this scenario isn’t a financial one at the moment. The club is extremely well run and has many sponsors and is viable.  however next season there won’t be no tv money which is rumoured to be £60k.  Not only that will the sponsors want to pay the same money for no national tv coverage ? Unlikely.  if the league is reduced to 5 teams will fans pick and choose or stop coming so often because it’s the same old faces ?  Chris Louis deserves a lot of credit and respect for what he has done for our club and I can only imagine this is his last resort.  im guessing as this is his primary income he isn’t going to gamble it away in a 5 team league.  Maybe some of the other teams which are subsidised by their owners are willing to? Who knows.  I don’t agree with some saying he has thrown his toys out. Like all democratic organisations you reform from within but he seems to have reached a point where he has had enough and doesn’t like the direction the sport is going.  there had been no mud slinging just a for sale notice going up at foxhall.  im desperately hoping a resolution can be reached and Chris will carry on but I’m less optimistic.  But thank you to John and Chris for providing us with such service over so many years.   

The developers moved in because they could... If those clubs had 5,000 a week then that would have been a very different scenario played out... I remember a photo of about 30 Swindon fans stood by a gate with some badly hand written signs... This was a "protest", and didn't "look good".. 5,000 fans, plus friends and acquaintances, walking through Swindon on a  Saturday afternoon doing a "proper protest" and what has happened since might not have taken place... 5,000 fans and the landlords would get much more rent too, so maybe not so quick to "cash in".. Sadly, it took a long time for the custodians of the sport to "get it together" to try and defend the tracks, as a collective, against fhe developers.. The cynic in me could even think that some saw a closure as an opportunity to gain certain riders for fhe following season.. So many tracks lost in the past two decades, and, even now, 14 promoters seemingly cannot agree on how to run the sport, with some more clubs closing being a possible outcome...

Just gave it a quick wiz through,,the sound is good this week, can’t comment of the quality of the content though 😂give it listen what do you think 

There’s a oap home waiting for you 💦

Perhaps what was supposed to be to happen with Buster in 2018 might be on the cards again with Chris still involved as manager. 

Think most fans don’t give sh#t these days ,just go along with flow to see a meeting. No credibility in the sport . Racing can be OK though.
