When do Teams that are up for sale have to decide whether they will run or not.?

Interesting that the 2 newest clubs to Premiership in recent years can see the light ,and are out before going bankrupt .

Seems all was well in 2018.

agree, addressing tracks and Machinery would be a good start.

Said it for the last few years riders are pricing themselves out of work,they will be looking for 9-5 jobs that some maintain because they can't make it pay.The chickens are coming home IMO .

Maybe so on the Speedway front,but the land they have bought in both Stadium and surrounding area will see them Ok in the future if they bail out of the sport.

Most clubs daily and race night activities are run by volunteers .

Some are no worse than what they are trying now.

The BSPA/SCB would not listen to such solutions.IMO.

They don't have to be down this year ,the levels over the last 5-10 years have not been enough to sustain the sports rising costs.Like I have stated before its Sponsers ,Supporters Clubs and Fans Trusts that are preventing ever bigger losses.

If David Howe was on £60pp their must a good number of riders near that figure IMO.I fact I think the majority will be more that David,so with the attendances I have seen in the last few seasons at most tracks you can see where the problems lie.The riders need a reality check IMO .Sponsers and fans trusts are all that's keeping the sport going .

The majority of them don't see anything wrong with the sport ,a little tinker with the rules should see it Ok for another season, and make up the rest as they go along.

You can only admire the time and effort the Glasgow Promotion put in to show speedway in good light,but unfortunately the sport is in dire straits in GB, and anybody who thinks differently is deluding themselves.There crowd levels were better than in their recent seasons but trying to improve them to levels mentioned will just about be impossible.As long as they can make the speedway pay for itself was all they would like.

Not really interested how he spends his earnings ,simply saying his Interview is a PR disaster if he expects people to believe what he says.Self Interest and other people paying for everything seems to be what he would like.He can only ride a speedway bike.

He might not be rolling in money,but his statement. 'I rode 90 meetings and I haven't earned a lot from that '.All I did was pay to ride speedway' is Ludicrious ,he better get a9-5 job for next year if that was the case.

Harris's sob story is pathetic,he's earn a few bob more than he makes out,total self interest.Why go Long Tracking to lose money !!!.had a lot of respect for him as a rider and entertainer but his PR is terrible.90+ meetings this season and just making ends meet!! Pull the other one!

Meaning?

I agree regarding standardising equipment ,virtually all Bike and Car sports have introduced it into their sport with success why can't speedway.Self interest rules and it killing the sport.

Doesn't even need to be at the conference,on the night will do if it suits,as has been proved.

Fair play to David Howe for revealing his points money,but as others have said what kind of money are most of the Champoinship riders are on,judging on crowd levels at most tracks it’s easy to see why most are in financial difficulty.

Harris comments are Laughable,we need to keep him earning as he wasn’t very bright,and has no other way of earning a living.Aye Right Chris.

He can always come to Berwick if that's he case

Wait till the rumour is confirmed would be my answer.

That's my interpretation.

If there is not any buyers though ,doesn't sound like they will stay on .
