The extra expense will certainly not help the struggling clubs,but who knows a winter of discontent awaits I fear.If clubs like Edinburgh were claiming £30,000 losses last season from what I gather this will be another loss making season and other Clubs as well.

They would be lucky to win the PL 4's with any of them .

thanks

Why is Horwood going home is it his injuries?

I Personaly was disappointed that there was so little new ideas and change came out of the Promoters Conference thus giving fans the impression that everything was Ok and all these mutterings of discontent was from a small majority on forums and Facebook ect. Unfortunately it looks like a lot fans who don't use these Media's for voicing their opinion's have just drifted away IMO.Negative opinions don't show the sport in good light,but constructive criticism should be taken on board.You could argue all day on the way forward for the Sport but the Promotions are the people who run the show and it is up to them collectively to get the show back on the road (providing they think something is not working).Reading some Promoters response to fans survey in the Speedway Star I was not impressed.

How did you work out these figures for Moggo,11 pt av doesn't seem right when he signed for Berwick.

Moggo was pretty decent when he came back for Berwick then Stoke,but it doesn't happen a lot.Compton was pretty poor before he packed it in though,but could do a job .shows the state the sport is in IMO,he won't be cheap!!

Cook is just a machine these days in PL.

Have to agree ,seems to go to the highest bidder each season.

Who owns Roynon . Any club taking him will just be helping him lower his average if you believe how he is riding so what is the point in that. Good luck to him on his recovery though.

The attendance hasn't increased even though the admission has been reduced,this is the problem the fans are deserting the sport for whatever reason.£13 is not bad IMO.,but the entertainment has to be up too scratch .

We need to stop paying silly money to mediocre Riders for starters.the crowd levels should determine the money paid out.How many teams at the end of last season said they had lost money yet these same Teams are paying money to riders who probably are the most expensive in the League. The sport cannot survive in its present state it is not not attracting new fans in any significant numbers and the regular fans seem be drifting away. I certainly don't confess to know a solution ,but IMO technology has overtaken the sport .

Autry can't gate at PL level.what chance would he have at World level.At least Cook and Worral can gate.I wouldn't have any of them in the Team.

Like all good Monarchs fans say 'win as a team lose as team ' but under their breath they will be cursing Vissing's home form ,which is mediocre to say the least.

Ricky Anderson Berwick junior.

Correct I am not questioning Craig's ability,only what I observed regarding his starts.I Personaly think too many races are recalled for anticipating the start but not actually rolling.

Have to agree its ludicrous to seed the Czechs,the event is 3 team tournament now.A decent Team is now sitting watching the Final.

it's a bit sad that in a NL challenge the they have resort to R/R,surely a young junior would benefit from an outing,after all that not the point of staging this fixture.

Great meeting had everything.I must admit I thought Cookie got way with a few rollers,good luck if you can get away with it.I can see stu Robson writing his complaints to the BSPA about victimisation.

Vissing is a bit of a weak link at the moment was expecting him to be scoring more .If he hits form the Monarchs will take some stopping. Fricke is a star of the future without doubt has class and intelligent with riding ,everything in control.

In your opinion. You seem to be well informed regarding what has been quoted"behind the scenes" the point I am making is that in the circumstances and importance of the matter regarding air fences the arrangements should be dealt with on a more professional level from the people that run the sport.Jayne is the Promoter at Buxton and she echoes your comments regarding only being informed in the last few weeks which IMO is shoddy.I do not have a"head in the sand "attitude to Air Fences that's just your opinion.Maybe on of your friends could give you an estimate on the attendance.Hope you are feeling better.

Come on your trying to tell me that telling promotions they have 3-4 years before something might happen is the way to run Speedway .Surely at least 1full seasons notice should have been given when something has been confirmed.we all know Berwick are the way forward but this issue should have been dealt with better IMO.This has serious financial issues for some Clubs to raise the funding in such a short timescale.I believe some clubs will close unless there are some very good sponsors out there.Clubs certainly rely on sponsors more and more these days with attendances falling at most Clubs.Ps What was the attendance at Berwick at the Week-end.?

Is there an official statement regarding this matter and from whom.you can't say to a club in the next 3-4 years without giving a statement surely.Where is the statement regarding next season? Have just read that Jayne who is the Buxton Promoter found out last week,no wonder Speedway is going down the tubes,!!

I think by not giving notice the this new rule will be in force in 2014 (if in fact this is the case) they have not been very fair on the clubs in this situation. A seasons notice would be minimum IMO .

In your case fair enough,but Mr Blobby was complaining on Sat about the track being slick and dusty,I was responding more to these comments although it was a different thread.I agree Doc always produces the best track in the cicumstances that dictate.
