A disappointing season by all accounts.IMO Didn't look a bad Team on paper.But we know that doesn’t count for much in speedway.

Championship League Riders' Championship at Poole
Fromafar replied to cinderfella's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
Just waiting for the Call -offs now. -
Maybe his Butcher Meat is decent.
-
The only reason I would go to a GP is to see the best riders in the World giving their all on decent track.That doesn’t happen at Cardiff. Let’s be honest it’s a ritual and a social week end for the majority of the GB fans.The spectacle on TV doesn’t do the sport any favours when the track is so poor.
-
Don’t think the Poole Promotion are telling anybody how to run their Club.Just opinions on this forum.Knock then all you want but they are one of the few Clubs that crowd level are decent.They attract decent sponsors and doing things right on the track.You Promoter saying in the Star this week that it’s costing him £10,000 a fortnight,how long can that go on for.Most Championship Clubs are running that level due to the supporters propping them up.

Sad news,was a great Team man and rider in his day.Lucky enough to have seen him ride in the 60’s. RIP. Eric.

Your dream is still on.!
-
No problems either just opened it up just now.Just type in Glasgow Tigers on Web
-
Not entirely true either because the riders aren’t available a lot of the time.Lot of them still involved in lower leagues in Poland.It’s not unknown for Clubs to use guests though in GB.
-
We have no fixtures due the decline of Clubs in GB.That’s not going to turn round any time soon. 1 League with riders who are available and committed to GB speedway( although it would probably mean a lower standard to begin with would be a starter) but we know that will never happen.So we will just muddle along.
-
There are only 10 Teams in the league.If it wasnt for juggling fixtures to suit riders foreign and grass track commitments,it would be very a short season for some.That’s the state of the sport in GB.Gone are the days of weekly fixtures.

UK speedway slowly dying
Fromafar replied to old bob at herne bay's topic in Speedway News and Discussions
Have to agree ,they have a lot to worry about than who gets a bonus point. -
The winners.!!
-
Didn’t want to say that in case I upset certain people.
-
Sounds a better solution for Promotions try to make a bit of money out of the Final. Sensible IMO.
-
Probably enjoyed it because you watched your speedway at Brough Park.!!

I think most fans that attend just treat Cardiff as a social occasion.( an expensive one).Personally it not for me.I rather such a meeting at a decent track.
