  1. The Monarchs look vulnerable at reserve and R/r does not work as well when you rely on your top 5.
  2. Is there that much to investigate? It would probably unveil the Promotions are paying out more money than they gathering in.One thing for sure you won't get any running costs or riders pay deals from any Promotion just the fact that they are losing money!
  3. I reckon if they can get Nick and Kauko back before Play -offs that will be a handy side and take some beating.
  4. Has speedway journalism really got anything to do with the state the sport is in.!!! The letters page was the forum before social media began, that was about it.
  5. Its not the fans that should have to come up with realistic solutions it's the Promotions IMO .(if they think anything needs done).Personaly I think if is difficult task to revive the sport without radical changes and fresh ideas,Mines would be regionalisation and possibly bringing back 4tt qualifiers to creat some extra fixtures and a shorter season.You might have to lower the standard to revive the sport.The original 2nd division in 1968 was not the high standard that it developed into when introduced.
  6. I think in recent years the weather has played a more significant part in non attendance,Health and Safety and modern machinery seems to mean not much chance of the meeting going ahead or running full course if track conditions are wet at there is any rain about.I for one think twice in these circumstances .Gp's certainly don't help regarding attendances even if it is dry.
  7. So that's who all these young riders are copying with the right leg waving in the air!! And to think we all thought it was a modern style!!
  8. How many teams were in your League though,that is the question?
  9. Best wishes for a good recovery for Ryan.Far to many serious injuries IMO .Though Holub would have liked the fast Sheffield track,how did he look though ?
  10. while I agree with your post these clubs you mention are not the only clubs in a mess .I think a few more Clubs could be added to your list.
  11. Have you not,that doesn't mean a lot to me !!
  12. I agree that 1 big league would be a good option to start with.Promoters have to stand strong regarding riders demands,trouble is some Promotions have always found a way round this issue in the past and would probably do the same in the future if a pay cap was put in place.
  13. Gather from your posts your not a Philip fan all you do is criticise his posts on any subject IMO .
  14. Looks like it could be a cracker of a meeting ,very open line-up.I fancy Cook to win it.
  15. You point is valid but it is up to the Promotions to get together and work for each other not just for themselves .Everyone has a different solution of how to help the situation so a compromise should be able to reach that will at least to someway to rectifying some of the problems in the Sport.I for one do believe there are problems In the sport and I am not just having a whinge .
  16. He will get shot down just like the rest of fans showing concerns,everything Hunky Dory in the Speedway World it's just the old timers having a whinge according to some.Nothing to worry about !!!!!!!!!!!!!
  17. Agree,value for money comes into it.BSB bikes certainly fits that category IMO
  18. Its just Mickey Mouse has fell out of favour by the looks of it then.
  19. That is subject to BSPA discretion that is quoted in these situations,infamous rule usually heads or tails you win.
  20. Dont think he Majority are ex-fans.Some die - hard fans are showing concern IMO ,while they might be in the Minority on this Forum,the rest have just walked away without complaining IMO .
  21. I agree,and if the track is not consistent it gives the riders a lot of problems.Track prep is very important these days and sometimes it's not up to scratch IMO
  22. By the same token a lot a fans have stopped attending because of these points judging by what is said on forums and there are not enough new fans to take their place so it's a catch 22 situation whether the new fans are bothered or not.
  23. What is his Facebook saying Ash 123 or Morrisay Fan statement
  24. Actually was wondering that myself when I saw who posted it.
