  1. There are a lot of Throttle off Jockeys nowadays.
  2. Funnily enough was just reading classic Speedway mag article by Malcolm Simmons where he tell you the story ,as a 17 year old he failed his driving test and he was that annoyed he never resat it. So he was driving without licence insurance and obviously stole tax disc from another vehicle,for which he got a six month jail sentence .Great article on his career,this article was in 2011 and his views on the future of the sport are almost spot on,Elite League in GB was no longer elite compared to other Countries riders .Riders giving engine tuners big money for nothing really(they just want to turn up and ride the bike)fancy vans.Promoters mainly fans with money from their business.Amongst other things He anticipated when TV money runs out the sport is in trouble and will probably have go back to Amateur status.That was 2011 and he’s not far out. ps Many fans have had the same view since then.
  3. Perhaps the Costs will come into it.Expensive to watch the same Opponent every couple of meetings.Have to hope meetings are humdingers .!
  4. The Premiership is a farce Full Stop. be surprised if they maintain crowd levels,with repetitiveness of fixtures. Sad times for the sport.
  5. If Witches end up with a poor Team and a poor season their fans can only put the blame on Louis for his poor exit strategies.

  7. A 3 month plan and let’s get the season started first🤔👍
  8. Maybe 10 year plan will give them a chance to change something.All the young Brits will maybe GP riders by then.With their forward thinking Premiership League.
  9. The reality of not seeing Top 16 and the Format are big factors in live attendances.Im definitely not a fan of the format or points allocated on the night.Just my opinion though.
  10. Size of venue to suit particular Country is the main concern.Guaranteed big at attendance in Poland but in is not guaranteed in other Countries ,so creating one off tracks in Bigger Sporting venues is risky as Cardiff proved.They choose venue that theythought the could fill.Pricing has to be set accordingly. Was Belle Vue total sell out last year? It wasn’t for the 2 day SON.
  11. That’s what Berwick fans said last season and it still applies.
  12. Too much emphasis on averages in the sport.Killing riders progression .
  13. Cook has missed so many matches in the last few seasons he will be entitled to an average reduction.IMO🤔
