Doesn’t really make lot of sense given the lack of fixtures this season,also considering it was the reason that the fixture list was cut back to suit Teams in NDL and Championship.(if that was the real reason alleged)
It doesn’t bother theTop Men IMO.They will just move on for same deals.Majority of fans these days just want decent entertainment.Pressure from management is to stop crowd levels falling.
Association with Monarchs is a good move,but Speedway at NDL level nowadays is not cheap,it’s a “ Buxton” scenario happening again where clubs are” buying “success over developing young riders.If Bickley and Hook ride for Edinburgh they won’t be cheap either.
If there were enough Diamond supporters turned up to matches you might still have Speedway.Football was still well supported when they were struggling.
