Maybe just me, but REALLY, what difference will putting the meeting back a WEEK make.They used to be indecisive,now they are not so sure.!!

Have to agree, we need to build again in GB.We certainly can’t compete with Poland regarding money and sponsors.We need to cut our cloth accordingly.IMO.We certainly won’t lose any fans,and we might attract some new ones if we get the entertainment factor right, without the “ Mickey Mouse “ rules.

It’s his prerogative surely ,nothing to do with anything else.

Sorry to here that,get well soon.Hope it is not too bad.

Excellent read.

Think they have done a good job covering Youth Championship and Amateur scene this year. What do you see as a new reader direction.? Will it dramatically increase sales of magazine given the sport doesn’t seem to attracting new youngsters whose family is not attending or already involved in the sport,they probably get the magazine anyway.

agree,some very good articles.They have done well to keep going in difficult circumstances.

It does sound a bit strange, he fails to give any information why this harassment came about.He obviously has upset someone at one time ,whatever for we are not being told,he certainly gets to give his side without divulging any reason for the harassment.

Think his ride at Glasgow after he had fallen and done his shoulder again was the ride of the season for him,certainly won them the victory overall.

Your heard it hear first Electric Bikes!!!!

That’s why were are still in the sh*t .Self Interest. Tony Jackson in this weeks SS explains it well.

Perhaps we have to cut our cloth and lower our sights to work our way back to the top.Instead of paying out more than is viable to riders who are second rate in World Terms.

Interesting ,Ihave just finished reading the latest book Saving Speedway( an excellent read ).Reg Fearman in the Postscript highlighted the fact that at the end of 1964 when the Provincial League had broke away and got blacklisted,the Promoters got together again in December to discuss the way forward.There was only 6 Teams left in the big League(National League) and there was 12 Teams in the Provincial League which was starting to thrive.The result was leagues merged to form the British League of 18 Teams.History repeats itself today with only 7 Teams in Premier and 12 in Championship. Another amalgamation! Maybe ,(Fearmans words). IMO we could do worse.!!

OK ,you are obviously in the Secret Service

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all us Forum Fannies,(myself included)

Unfortunately there are no big TVDeals and Wealthy benefactors to help out Speedway.It’s like the secret service regarding TV money,where it goes and who benefits.

Without the support of fans and Supporter Club initiatives raising money there would not be many Clubs viable these days.Gate receipts and sponsors are not enough to support the outlay.

Agree,but don’t think that’s is where East End Fan is referring to,as we are talking about UK speedway.

“In certain areas Speedway thrives.” That’s the best one I’ve heard for a while.

Judging by the way the fans are disappearing ,I suspect the latter.

OK everything is rosey.

These people will be sitting in their house though,and the problem is the sport is not attracting any people to replace them.

As per Topic Heading so was British Speedway.

It’s always been it’s our money and it’s our ball.They never seem to see the big picture.Short Term thinking is all they see.

Just got the Teams and Riders to sort now then.
