No Heat 8 benefit race for him(at home anyway) for a month.

The difference between these 2 teams are Monarchs have 2heat leaders 3 2nd strings and 2reserves,Bandits have 4 2nd strings and 3 reserves.Poor track tonight IMO ,good crowd though.

Though the crowd level was a bit disappointing last night.

cheers,

Has it just been from this season that the finish line is beyond the start line.? Bit confusing IMO .

We certainly made them look good.

Going through the motions comes to mind watching that tonight,still they should earn a decent wage packet tomorrow .

£18.50 at gate,or £17.50+.50p booking fee at Armadale,certainly curtailed my visits as a regular neutral visitor,but if that what it takes to survive in Championship there is no way they would want to move up IMO .

On paper probably,on track not so sure!

9-5 job is the answer.Speedway is not the answer if that is the case.

Everything by the looks of it.

Can't see many Championship Teams paying out money to ride and compete Premiership standard,think that is a major issue regarding 2 leagues .Some of these Teams will be struggling to break even on crowds they are getting.

Match Off ,the usual mushroom syndrome,but remember turn up next week if there is a match on!!!

Fixed race nights last year? Have you missed out a comma .

Sensible post regarding changes/ ideas IMO .I am of similiar opinion but being a "forum fanny"" it doesn't count.Average crowds of 750 are pretty hard going at a lot of tracks these days IMO,but run correctly we could get them back up to this level.

It's pretty obvious that clubs need to run on the best night for them,and in a league that comes within their budget,don't think many clubs are making much profit,(if any).

Obviously Championship Clubs could see that it would harm THEIR BUSINESS and stuck to what was working for them.It could probably lead to breakaway movement if forced through IMO.Shambles.

Like yourself no doubt.It is a forum and everybody is entitled to an opinion.

I fail to see what riders get paid in Poland has to do with it.If British Promoters paided the rates THEY can afford it would solve a lot of financial difficulty.Let the riders ride in Poland for big money let's see how many survive on1/2 dozen meetings per year ( if they get paid).The chickens are coming home.!!

Anyone know the riding order of Berwick for this one?

Most of that Rye team have rode for Berwick since that meeting

Do today's Promotions have the finance behind them to get the sport back to what it needs to be,most are consortiums of ex fans that rely on Sponsers for revenue and are struggling to balance the books with the riders demands these days IMO .

Your last paragraph is correct,unfortunately it gone that far downhill regarding status in World terms it's going to be a mountain to climb to get it back to that level and the fans are just not there in sufficient numbers these days.

Think Glegg had plenty chances at Edinburgh,better with who they have got IMO .

Clubs should race on the night or their choice,we will always disagree on rider availability,but we should pick riding that commit to GB even if it means lowering the standard .Fans Are paying over the odds for the standard they are watching now IMO.Id rather see young riders putting in some effort than watch what I am seeing now by so so called star riders.Everything hunky dory in BSPA TOWERS though.
