Are there many tracks getting that number is the Question.

Probably ducking and diving,nothing new

They don't get any food or drink.

Admission prices were cheaper in Peters day,and if you take into consideration consessions and overheads it was quite realistic .Imo.Even in Waites day we reckoned £50 a point was realistic average.90 points / meeting was £4500.I would doubt attendances today are covering everything and Sponsership is crucial.

I'll bet they sort the problems out in the next 15 years if your assessment is correct.I doubt your assessment of the situation though.

How did you manage to fit in all last seasons fixtures,let's be honest it's rider availability that's causing most of the problems,this needs sorting out and cooperation between Promotions.

The track rides the same from Ht1 most weeks you need to make the gate,Jye was gating and riding hard 1st/2nd bends.More to the point is how Howe and NJB got there full quota when Dany was gating and winning heats!

For the money on offer probably.!

Would have liked to have seen Jye in Ht 15,he is the only rider we have who is prepared to get stuck in when going gets tough IMO .

It's a good job country of birth don't count then

You could ask

Take my hat of to Dan Bewlay last night very exciting and fast in front AND when he missed the gate he chased and gave 100% in every race trying to pass the opposition for 4 laps.By contrast Danny Gapp was excellent when he gated but trailed half the strait behind when he didn't ,surely if you can win heats you should be able to at least keep up with the opposition with a bit of effort.( obviously knew passing was non existant ).Entertainment factor was missing again this week.

Do you know the finances of Teams,I think Finances will become the major topic in the next few weeks there are big drop in crowd levels at MOST tracks this season but would imagine riders wages stayed the same regardless.

It's riders wages that need reduced for the financials .!

On par with your crowd levels this season I reckon.Agree regarding racing at Shielfield these days.

High speed follow the leader is all we are watching these days.

Agree,if you see the season out.

Probably on riders wages!

Think the Charles Wright sacking might come back to haunt them.

When is the cut off date,and what chances of all clubs completing fixtures before cut - off.

If Workington don't gate tonight they won't win IMO . If Worky don't gate tonight they won't win IMO

We always are

Matt Ford article sums up the sport very well.Please don't start telling me he started it all,I am only talking what he has said in THIS WEEKS SS.I tend to agree with his view.

Very selective pricing Dick,let me add some more adult weekend ticket Sat + Sun £39 ConcessionWeekend+ camping £40 Concession WeekendTicket £20 Sat Adult £18 Concession £10 Sunday concession £18. 6-7 hours racing entrainment each day! Crowd probably 25,000+ they are not doing too much wrong I spent £80 last weekend watching absolute dross!! I am a speedway fan!

Yip,from die-hard to take it or leave it I'm afraid,the sport is in a shambles and it cost a fair bit of money to attend these days which I can find better things to do,Super bikes at Knockhill looks better value this weekend.Sad days for the sport.The happy clappers seem to thing everything is fine though,let them get on with it.!
