Like the look of the Sheffield Team,especially if King returns to full fitness.

I think the way most of the tracks have to be prepared to suit today’s machinery is the biggest problem regarding lack of entertainment these days .

No, in general.

It is.If your happy fair enough,the dwindling crowds suggest not everybody seems to have the same view.

Yes your probably right ,paying too much for speedway in UK giving how the standard of rider in World Terms have dropped,journeyman riders earning a good living from the sport in Uk.

You can’t compare standard of leagues with Poland or Sweden,that is why it is sad IMO.You are paying good money to watch 2nd rate riders IMO.

The Premiership is a sad situation surely for the good of the sport in GB it should have been merged into one league,far to much self interest about the Premiership it looks farcical IMO.Best of luck though.

Speedway Promoters need your money

They have faith in their Promotion who have been at the helm of the Club for a long time ,that counts for a lot IMO.They have been fortunate that their main money men back the club to the hilt.

Honestly!

Well said Norman

A very poorly worded article by Mr Barrie on Berwick Website IMO.

If Laura sold up to a buyer before the season started ,would the Comets be allowed back in to League.Just asking!

Think it shows up the BSPA for what they are,how can they fine Workington for not competing their fixture given their circumstances at the end of the season.You cannot say they didn’t try.Total Joke.

I think the value for money is a factor these days,and agree regarding Clubs needing to budget ,they are paying riders more than they can afford in a lot of cases.The chickens are coming home to roost as far as riders wages are concerned.

Unfortunately nowadays most Clubs rely on Sponsors and Supporters pouring in money just to stay afloat,it can’t go on forever.! Feel sorry for Laura Morgan but that’s Speedway these days.As I have said before Personaly I think the racing at Workington is entertaining but crowds have disappeared,the money is just not about for the admission prices IMO.

Very sad news ,another good venue lost to the sport.

Buster!!!!!

Having attended the end of season Finals as a neautral ,I though it showed how far the crowd levels have dropped over the last seasons,it looked nothing special but certainly much bigger than the league meetings I attended.I think the racing at Worky is very enjoyable even is not much passing as it is entertaining.goog luck to them I hoping people come forward.Think a lot of tracks are in the same boat however.

Looks a very interesting League a lot close matched Teams Imo.As long a they just get on with it a not have the usual end of season log jam with fixtures.K.O.Cup and Shield fixture should be completed and out the way long before Play offs unlike previous seasons.Wont hold my breath though.Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all supporters.

For Newcastle with any luck

Greg moved to where he THOUGHT the money was,did he not refuse to ride for them for 2nd half of season because he had not been paided?

Was Steve Boxall not another one who was averaging over 8?

In Redcar’s case I agree.You have to agree the standards has been watered down though with the new points limit.Some teams are suffering more than others regarding points limit,Redcars poor season last year has helped them. IMO.I wish them well as it’s a great racetrack.

Nothing would be gained,just pointing out one of the the reasons why people wont be flocking back to the sport IMO.Wages to riders are the reason the sport is in the state that it is in.Set pay rates with bonuses to riders if crowd levels increase instead of giving them money that can’t be afforded.
