Edinburgh quoted 19th as cut off date if you’re really that bothered.I don’t know anyone who can quote the up-to-date rules in the sport.Except Craig Cook he has his own rule book.
Fair enough,but the number of cancellations this season is wearing thin with a lot of fans I know, the riders just want perfect conditions nowadays.The track staff obviously don’t want to waste their time trying to make a track that riders will just moan about.Its not a dire forecast for this evening.But “ the damage is done” wins the day.The Tigers failing to get stuck in last week probably resulted in a lack of entertainment last week IMO.
Too many riders want a perfect track these days, it’s meant to be dirt track racing not road racing.Im seriously pi##ed off with sport these days ,gate and go racing ( although best meetings I have seen have been at Glasgow),which is my problem ,but it means less income for Promoters.
Interesting to see that Cami Brown didn’t seem to think that last week meeting should have went ahead ,this weeks weather is similar what chances it will be on ,riders won’t like it.
Edinburgh have advertised recently that fans living more than 50 mls away could watch there matches for £10 ,so it could be the case that you can watch in Somerset.
Fans are getting totally pi##ed off with riders attitude towards tracks, they seen to be unable to alter their set up to suit.Do Promotions do enough track work prior to race day or are they just “winging it” and hope things will be alright on the night.A grippy track is a grippy track they are meant to professional sportsmen yet just whinge and moan if the track is not like a motorway.Gate and go is all you get in GB speedway nowadays.
Matches I have attended this season suggest crowd levels are still falling at a number of clubs,but don’t think moving down a league will solve anything.NL standard will maybe cut losses but it will not improve attendances or attract new fans.IMO.
