Think we all know how difficult it is to make Team Changes.

You could question who have helped create that situation over the last number of years.Riders are dictating the sport in this country,although there is not a easy answer to this situation we need negotiate contracts better.Poland doesn’t guarantee regular Team places perhaps we need to take that into account.We all know decent riders are not going to hang about over but there is certainly no guarantee to the journeymen rider will make a living abroad.

British League Riders Finals 1965-late 70’s at Hyde Rd,it was like watching a World Final every year,packed in like sardines could hardly get your hands out your pocket.Then there was the Amusment Park before and after the Meetings .Great Memories for me.

In my case I blame the Post Office ,mail delivery is also very erratic.

Best wishes to him to get back,he has had a season to forget with nothing going right for him.

Your sounding like Len Silver

Think you have a point with Hotel prices in Cardiff,Stadium ticket wise a least you are guaranteed a dry seats for you cash with is an attraction IMO.Imagine £85 in temporary stand on Sat if it was p#sing down,the meeting would probably been run judging by rest of week.

Not disagreeing with some of your points.You have question the value for money and entertainment factor into it though.Other Motor Sports in GB BSB,Superbikes,Touring Cars all attract large crowds(admittedly not weekly sports,but neither is Speedway nowadays).Speedway is not attracting new fans in any large numbers and that is the problem.Very disappointing that aWorld Championship in the Sport cannot fill the Stadium though.Like you say it’s a different Era now.

There are still a couple of Clubs that Advertise Speedway every Fri or Sat and it is simply not the case.

No way did Lemon tell the riders what gates to take.

Slater is a prospect.

The roof is the bonus. IMO.While it was not a GP you have ask why they can’t fill the Stadium .Obviously the majority think they got the pricing wrong , but it shows how much it costs to put on event.Every British Speedway fan would like to see a GP at NSS though.

Don’t know how much it costs but even at 20,000 that’s 5 times the crowd of NSS.Personally would love to see them have it at NSS.Cardiff is just a ritual Weekend away for lot of fans speedway is secondary.IMO

It’s a forum,you don’t have to read it.Obviously you know it all.

The riders would have told Lemon what gates they wanted .IMO.Although I do agree that I though they would have wanted 1/3

It would be fantastic to have GP at Belle Vue but financially another big risk if overpriced it again.Cardiff has proved the fans are not prepared to put up with an overpriced Weekend and Accommodation and that with a weather guarantee which Manchester doesn’t give. Interesting looked at a Premier Inn in Stockport last Weekend for £69 which suggested to me there was not a sellout at NSS.IMO. How much money do FIM contribute to these smaller venues for GP’s

What is the reason for that.Is it Health and Safety or has it been altered.

Nothing.Lemon said it was just a tactical change and had been discussed.He was ready to ride if needed.

If British Speedway is too cheap, then it is in more trouble than I thought.Your theory must be double the admission will double the crowd. ps Younger people can probably afford it but are just not interested

Must give great Credit to the Organisers of the Whole Event very Professional and ran like clockwork considering everything that was throw at them weather wise and track.Also the riders to their credit who just got on with it.Peoples criticism of Phil Morris is unjustified he runs a good show.

FINANCIAL PROFESSIONAL.ffs I’ve just fell off the chair in stitches.Thats your best one ever.

Sounds like they were trying to get the fans to pay for the Temporary Stand that has been rumoured Discovery insisted on and GB Speedway had to pay for.

Whatever way you look at it it shows the support for Speedway in Uk is dwindling.Unfortunately.Promoters need to get their act together and try and sort it out.

Give him a break he has not got School Tomorrow.

He is playing though.
