RIP British Speedway
Daniel Smith replied to BartoszZmarzlikFan's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
It's a bit of a myth that Glasgow v Edinburgh is a money spinner. Attendances at these matches ain't what's keeping the clubs alive. Glasgow could certainly survive without Edinburgh, in the same way Edinburgh always financially struggling even with Glasgow -
The question was, are thing's looking more hopeful for the future?? For me, that's asking who will make it at the highest level, and be competitive for Britain on the international stage. I'm sorry, it's none of them except possibly Rowe imo. We can see young Pole's, Swede's & Dane's plying their trade against the very best in the World, even in these tough times. Our young Brit's are racing against rider's that can't cut it abroad. Be honest with yourself

Kings Lynn Stars v Sheffield Tigers 19/08/21
Daniel Smith replied to Bald Bloke's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
Had a little think about the situation & actually can't blame Sheffield for their tactics. They do have 4 matches in hand on Ipswich & every remaining fixture is a possible lose. They want to give themselves every possible chance of securing that final top 4 spot. King's Lynn wins home & away will give them that nailed on. If any finger pointing should be done, it's at the match referee for not being stronger willed to get the meeting on. -
For me, it's the worst it's ever been for our youngsters. The standard of rider to race against isn't anywhere near where it needs to be. These guys currently have false hope, when it really matters on the international scene they'll be left way way behind. Apart from Anders Rowe I really think the future looks absolutely awful

Depends on the set up. 1 big league can only be viable if they can get at least 40+ meetings a season -

Maybe King but the rest are Championship standard. They should be the heatleaders at that level -

British Final 2021
Daniel Smith replied to Midland Red's topic in Speedway Testimonials & Individual and Shared Events
I doesn't matter who owns who. We're talking about rider standards, none of the rider's listed are Championship standard, they're all higher level choosing to double down. Poole own a wealth of rider's, doesn't make them all Championship standard because they're in that league -
British Final 2021
Daniel Smith replied to Midland Red's topic in Speedway Testimonials & Individual and Shared Events
Absolute nonsense. Cook has been a regular top league heat leader since 2011. Sam Masters same since 2016. This issue has been that they've been allowed to continue in the 2nd tier, they've not push themselves fully abroad. Some of the below are on the Helter-Skelter I accept that but they're still better than the standards that should be allowed in the Champs All the below are 'Doubling Down', not 'Doubling Up' Hans Andersen Troy Batchelor Craig Cook Jason Crump Adam Ellis Chris Harris Sam Masters Scott Nicholls Bjarne Pedersen Rory Schlein -
British Final 2021
Daniel Smith replied to Midland Red's topic in Speedway Testimonials & Individual and Shared Events
Actually it is. Those likely to win the PRC are Prem rider's being allowed to double down. There's not 1 rider of Champ standard going to win the PRC -
British Final 2021
Daniel Smith replied to Midland Red's topic in Speedway Testimonials & Individual and Shared Events
Absolutely not supported by me. I am really concerned though with Woffinden & Lambert, seriously lacking speed in the GP's but I can't see Ellis & Bewley's equipment being any better racing at that level. Put Ellis & Bewley in the SON & we finish last it may do untold damage to them & the youngsters following. Currently, Woffinden & Lambert are the rider's the youngsters should be looking up to, to be as good as if not better. Not Bewley & Ellis currently. -

Nope, Heeps is averaging better than Proctor. Neither are good enough though. I'd rather see Simon Lambert comes back

Yes it does
