The egos have landed....Shows what the its all about me attitude does...think some one forgot to tell them the word TEAM was somewhere in the championship title...how can you get team riding tactics down if you dont train together at least once on the rae track. As for the tactical wild card it should be scrapped it does nothing for the meeting or improving anything take a look at the WTC no matter how many england played they wernt going to score any points and it turns the meeting into a joke. A team should fall on the sword by its own bad performance and not sneak by on tryin to scrape these xtra points. I could imagine what would happen if the FA decided if you in a premier leauge match if you go 3 goals down the first goal you scored was worth 2

speedyguy you missed my point. The reason why football can get all that money is simple the number of people playing the game from kids to semi pro level. And that turns into spectator level at the Premier leauge. Speedway doesnt have a real grasslevel where anyone can develop other than training schools and or grasstrack. (not talking about fan base here). As i said in my last post a group of past riders, want to be riders and or their dads should form clubs and start non leauge racing at some of these defunct or struggling tracks at lest give them a chance to encourge young guys to come into and try. Its better than no growth or development.

Speedway does not need buckets of cash thrown at it What it needs is more people on bikes HOW YOU ASK ...NON LEAUGE RACING. Open up all the tracks that can’t afford league racing for amateurs to have a go racing no prize money just trophies. Every rider on a bike gets 4 in the gate plus other spectators and bring the admission price down I was reading another thread on lack of training facilities why should you be training and for what get racing form your own rider clubs and do it yourselves. Then you can create a rider depth and people can show how good they are before hitting the Pro Leauge scoring 2 points and getting canned. In a nutshell the more people involved.... the bigger the following ....... make a lot of noise doing it Then the sponsors and money starts coming in
