The bottom line is that the sport in its present form is not attracting and keeping new fans in numbers to make it sustainable on the wages they are paying to the Top Riders at Championship Level without Major Sponsorship,which seems hard to attract.Slippery Slope IMO.
Been to Glasgow a few times this year,Friday crowds were good IMO.Tue v Sheffield wasn’t great though .Definately think crowds are up on 2 seasons ago IMO.
Always going to be contentious issue on who they pick ,they should be concentrating on picking better tracks IMO.Give the riders a decent track and you will get some cracking racing.
Zmarzlik is a worthy Champion,but Madsen is the rider of the Championship for me,the number of passes he made during the series was fantastic.Wildcards will be interesting.
Catch 22 situation with track covers ,hampers track prep if put down, if it’s raining at start time riders won’t entertain it.Is it worth the bother.!!
Bickley scored vital points but the only opposition riders he beat were their reserves.Bailey was more competitive and replaced Andersen in the only real change that could be made and that was against Morris and Covatti.Would have made no difference IMO
Some cracking heats in a very good match,Anders Rowe was man of the match for me, very impressive performance.Match in the balance IMO.Tigers slight favourites if reserves can get a few points.
ps
Though Rory got 2nd in that tight finish with the 2 Tigers!
I find it interesting, giving what I witnessed at the Stadium.I don’t doubt that the Ref called it off though. Water under the bridge now.Cant make up my mind whether to bother turning up tomorrow given what I witnessed last week and I’m sure a few others might have the same thoughts.
