The Promotions see them as a money spinner, as there will always be a reasonable turn out compared to some other fixtures.

There are a lot of riders have the same rider profile, i.e.beat Top Riders then finish behind inferior riders,it's the way the sport is these days ,speeds are so fast unless riders make serious mistakes it is very difficult to pass without risking a lot .There is always another race for the majority of riders these days.

Doesn't really matter who is Captain in a Speedway Team,certain riders help out other whatever their position .Heads or tails is the hardest decision the Captain has to make.

I did,suppose the less meetings clubs run nowadays the less money they lose.

You got your wish,Sept is not in the speedway season these days at Berwick

Looks like a short season.

You could save some typing .

How much do they get then?

To be honest,I would do away with averages and let the money men sign all the good riders,then hope that things get better,things couldn't be any worse with the nonsense going on just now in the sport.

Think it would be sensible to define average to nearest point under .5 down the way over .5point up the way. Stops minute decimal points keeping riders out of work.

While Glasgow have to be commended for their efforts to improve every aspect of the sport their Admission Prices are high compared to some tracks.If the punters are flocking in though!!!

Quite rightly too.

Should have waited till Promotions agree before making such decisions,once again self interest rules among some Promotions

Don't know what will happen,but Championship clubs should not be affected by Premiership deciding to let Swindon do as they please.

I agree,his article in Star is very negitive towards Kings Lynn and basically he was left no choice and is there under protest.Needs better management IMO .

Condolences to the family,Jimmy was a great character and probably the reason that the Tigers are still in existence ,he saw them through some tough times and probably pumped a lot of money into the club to keep them afloat .

IT easy to see why the sport is in turmoil.They would have trouble running a raffle .

Holder brothers starting to come over as a couple of Prats.

Davey in the SS says having a place in Swindon and Birmingham he can affordto be a full time speedway rider.Tells all really.

While I agree with you.Much depends on the wage demands of these riders IMO .

We have an obsession with employing 2 rate foreigners thinking they will be world champions in a couple of seasons.Would like to know how much financial difference to employ them, cheaper or more expensive!

It's just the usual "cloak and dagger mentality"that rules speedway

He might be right about Bewley.IMO
