I agree with another poster thought Allitt was just trying to stop another mechanic getting involved.But hey ho ,you need abit of excitement these days as the racing at most venues these days has very little going for it.

You would think WW3 had broke out the way this has been discussed it last about 10 seconds

It's hard to tell how many NEW fans the sport is attracting but you can see by the crowd levels that we are losing a lot of OLD fans for various reasons,and just muddling along paying out more money every season.Its not going to end well for a lot of clubs.In the late 60's the National League was introducing and brought a lower level of competition and was an entry for young riders which was well supported and meaningful,now it seems we're just trying to reduced a lot of the sport to a lower level for financial reasons and expecting the fans to stump up to watch riders taking Promotions to the cleaners,will no real throughs for anybody but themselves and its wearing thin IMO .

Agree, deep down you know another sticking plaster job coming up.

Think you can add afew more names to your list as to who can be expected to compete. Just making the PL 8 teams does not solve any problems.

It's typical that the Premier only interested in themselves ,as I said before .Tou can Imagine Glasgow taking the chance because of the backing behind them,but there is no way they will run at a profit as things stand in the sport.Think most fans can see what's coming another shambles.

At least you get the gist of my comment

Wonder what Teams they will attempt to sucker this time ,just like they did in the early 90's. Call their bluff and tell them they have to move down would be my answer.Desperate times for speedway in GB.

Agree,there is is some cracking talent coming through,what kind of money are they on at present?,then you have Roynon ,Clegg,Cockle,Bowen,Davey,Hopwood,Wilson,Shuttleworth,Atkins,Perry,Morley,Basbyall making up the numbers and probably getting decent money which hikes up admission prices .When you look at Buxton over the years they are the one team who tried to do it right and have paid the price.

It's certainly no Development League when you see some of the riders still hanging about in it.Bet hey are not riding for peanuts,that's why admission money is so high.

Always has been their way out of trouble,trouble is there is a big injury list these days and still growing.

Regarding riders availability Poland and Sweden pretty much rap up this weekend do they not?

The way things are going it might not be that"fake".its hard to see the fixtures getting complete in time unless they run them all in the last week.

I like Jye improving all the time and has a good season for Berwick,but if he thinks TJ was hard on him he really needs to look athe videos of his moves coming out of the 2nd bend at Berwick during the season.Pot,Kettle and Black spring to mind.

It's typical BSPA,"I'm alright Jack".

Agree,but typical Speedway Promotions the fans are just mushrooms.Only if the need cash will they announce anything.

Is he injured? Or was he injured,he just packed for Ipswich.!

You would have to ask Jye because there was nothing to obvious just abit of hard but fair riding from an opponent,when you see Jye 1st bend move on Riss it was just as hard but Riss got round him.Heat of the moment stuff.Mechanics and hangers on cause most of the problems these days,they need a ban IMO

But maybe not in the averages,remember they can ride in any order apart from No1 and reserves.

last resort slick track didn't pay off for Aces.

Etheridge side kicks are out of order,it looks like Aaron Summers to me could be wrong though,like Kelvin says if the riders have a beef let them sort it out not the hangers on.

Etheridge is doing good job IMO .

While I am not a fan of guests and it has got Totaly out of hand,I don't see why you can't have one for any team member that is injured up to their average.Especially when you can have one for you highest average reserve.

2 in GB should be on the cards B.V has to be viable when you see some of the venues,although don't know who pays and how much to hold a Gp

I think we are in for a serious downgrading of he Sport if the Premier can persuade 2-3 Teams to move up like they did in the early nineties.The BSPA are only interested in sport at what they conceive as the highest level,the rest are left to sort themselves out. There can't be many clubs making money out the sport,it's only Sponsers and people with Money to lose that are keeping most Clubs afloat,and that can't go on for ever IMO. Personaly don't think crowds of around 400- 500 can possibly be viable these days,with the money that we hear the riders demand,but perhaps it's only rumours what the riders get paid and they are doing it for their love to the sport and entertaining the fans.
