What is the capacity of Ashfield, I would be concerned a huge crowd would cause serious standing room problems.Its not a big Stadium. -

Fromafar replied to Steve Shovlar's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
Doesnt really matter when the red lights come on,if the ref was going to call it back he can stop the race when he thinks it's safe to do so.His reactions don't have to as fast as the riders!!! -

That was a decent meeting to watch,I've seen a lot worse,the riders from both Teams were giving it a go. Holder acting like a bit of a prat.he is not a good as he thinks he is.(yet) -
Complete farce just toss a coin and save the travelling for guest riders.

Cheerio! -
Round about 2007/8 speaking to a rider who rode in what is now Championship as aHeat Leader and as a reserve in Elite League told me he was paid £80 a point and guarantee of 3pts scored in Elite League.He was on a sliding scale in Championship.

Whilst I agree with your point,to be fair the riders weren't having major issues getting round the track held up well.The spectacle for the spectators was ruined though. -

Ive got cracking picture.!! No problems.Only Sam. -
Like all professions some are good at their job work harder and longer hours and make more money.Its simple really if your not making enough money out the sport stop doing it.To much emphasis on the riders nowadays.There will be others come along and do the job IMO .

Speedway is a sport ,if you can earn some extra money by being good at it fair enough,if not find a 9-5 job.There are not many Promoters raking in a fortune for running the sport.Most are men with money which the are willing to throw away till it runs out then depart the sport.I do appreciate their efforts to keep the sport alive but they have to stop paying out money they can't afford and cut their cloth accordingly and stay in the sport long term.These riders in Britain would be off like a shot if they though they could get better money abroad for their talent,but they ain't good enough so they are fleecing GB for what they can.

A lot of people are saying the same thing,the riders have to be told take it or leave it.The show will go on.Ps Not a lot would leave it IMO .
