Agree,they just don't see the big picture,all other forms of bike sport have implemented rules on modifications to machinery to try and create a level playing field and bring down costs,which in the main has succeeded.Bike sport in UK is thriving apart from Speedway.
I think it is obvious that the Big Bumper Opening Meeting was just to try and get some money to pay off existing debts.Why would a business try to sell tickets for an Opening Meeting in a venue that still was in the process of being built 11 MONTHS before is opened.Strange decision IMO .Did they have to pay up front to get use of the venue when it opened.?
