  1. Totaly agree,get back to basic ,speedway in GB is at rock bottom on structure.IMO
  2. Bit harsh on Doyle,you still to be able to ride better equipment. Not just sit on it.
  3. Their accountant will take care of the dreaded expenses no doubt.
  4. As you know that only applies to some clubs in speedway,just like the rest of the rule book !!
  5. You would like to think so ,given their rhetoric when running the club.
  6. Its a sport ,if you want to do it for a living fair enough.Not seen many riders pack it in though.
  7. The point being it is a sport they don't need to do it if they can't make a living out of it do the full time job as the majority of the fans do.!! Promoters and riders don't want to divulge their income and expenditure which is their prerogative but no good complaining if they are losing money.Speedway fans have keep many clubs running in the last few seasons with donations from their hard earned money(working full time ).
  8. If that is the case(andI don't despute it)it is easy to see why clubs are in financial difficulties based on crowd levels at most tracks.
  9. Full time speedway riders.Maybe Part time would be the answer for them!nobody is forcing them to be a speedway rider.Speedway is in a mess,pure and simple.
  10. Too much in the context of the money coming into the sport,that's how so many clubs are in financial difficulty and are only surviving on the generosity of the fans.As I have said before the riders are digging there own grave.Its a sport if you can make enough money at it you should pack it in.Promoters are their own worst enemy in some cases.Many tell you about their losses but whose money are they losing in some cases,is it mainly Sponsership money??
  11. Bates will know about the fancy sandwiches and no swearing when he turns up next week!! .Mechanics need to stay out of all this nonsense.Riders can look after themselves .
  12. Their efforts a couple of years ago have petered out,so don't think it will be easy to find land anywhere these days.
  13. From what I have seen and heard over the last week ,where is the Final of the Mechanics boxing competition being held.!!!
  14. He official Monarchs Website says the cessation of greyhounds does not effect Speedway.
  15. Sincerely hope Worky run next season,it is a decent track and have seen some cracking meetings there.
  16. Same could be said at a number of clubs!! What has happened to all those fans.?
  17. It was a hard move from Lindgren but he did get a bit of extra grip that cased him to lift a little and it took him across the track a bit and got closer to Cookie than he meant to IMO .Dont like Tai's attitude but It didn't spoil my nights entertainment.
  18. Too many Promotions overpaying riders without the income from gate receipts,relying on sponsers and fans to subsidise losses.Things will not change though,riders are digging their own grave.
  19. There has been a lot "sick notes" and riders not recovering from injury in the last few weeks.!!!!!
