Most tracks have a set race night as things stand,it's the crazy rules and fixture list that has caused the trouble.

I think the crowds are lower at a significant number of tracks and how many tracks can say over a season that their crowds have increased( not many I fear) we don't get attendance figures for various reason IMO .While we have all got many gripes ,too me one of the the biggest failing is the fixture list,we need to have regular once a week meetings or people drift away.

Dont know much about visas and stuff,but I would say the majority are not at the required standard for these Countries when they first come overs do would not get aTeam place based on Aussie form.

No need to ban anyone from Britain as long as they sign a contract saying GB is their priority that season,then we know where we stand,if they want to earn aboard just tell the to go and make a living there.Some riders want their cake and eat it.

I think the social side of the evening is probably the main reason a lot of fans still attend.

It will probably be the"best ever BSPA Conference ever this winter" if it's anything to go by

Its not automatically his demands rockets,they don't have to pay over the odds it's just the way Promoters run their businesses in GB.Tell them where to go and pay money they can afford. It won't alter the entertainment factor.I agree averages are killing the sport in more ways than one.

It's a bit rich from Doyle to say there are dangerous riders over here,the number of crashes he has caused in his career .

Simple fact is there will be no fans to pay riders enough to make ends meet in current situation.Bspa will do anything to keep Top flight and sod the rest.

We need to change the rules then.

Im not getting involved with you and Speedibee personal spats,but I do agree with him on the rest of his post,riders are killing the sport with their demands which we can't afford as it is ruining the sport in UK.they need to make up their minds where they want to earn their living.

100% agree.

Sorry to quote my own post,but after reading about Cook,I think it could come true.

Need independent people to run the sport,here's Cook saying I help you out if I get a good deal,bunch of crooks the lot of them.

Maybe Workington should give it a try instead of you mocking it.

I don't know ,but not having a bike avialable considering his situation with contacts etc,seems pretty poor ,either that or he is living of his Polish earnings and doesn't need extra cash.Just another nail in the coffin for the sport in UK.

They were beaten by better riders on the night,they have rode enough speedway not to blame equipment and lack of practice?IMO.They certainly didn't ride well.Think if you ask them politely to their face they will be ok about though.Jonny always uses this phrase .Lets have the Final at Monmore!!!! See what the result would be.Interesting.

"thing" being the correct phrase for the speedway rule book.!

Accordint to Natalie Quirke on Twitter only first match on TV.

If that was the reason it a pretty poor one,Trying to say he could not organised a bike in GB he must think that fans "zip up the back".

Who says they make up the rules as they go along.He WAS going to ride in Poland,so that is the rule that should have applied surely.

Thanks,you are probably right,I noticed they never showed the joker replacement and Lambert had 4 pts in one race.

Think you know!! I could guess.

He did have 1 more race in which he was 2nd.Think he is injured though.

Takes the biscuit!
