I understand if they have been gagged but that still shouldn’t have a bearing on the bspa putting out some of statement, it is very poor
-
They must know it, but whoever try’s to address the issues and get control of the sport is going to as popular as syphilis in a lot of people’s eyes, while the sport is attending its own funeral there are some who are doing ok in their own little way and when you try to take that away is when the wall gets put up
-
It has to be resolved somehow, the league depends on it, I don’t know how but this season has to make it too the end of season and then speedway in Britain has to change
-
You could the rye house riders a call, unless they have been gagged they do know the whole story
-
Quite a few people know what’s going/gone on, let’s just hope a resolve can be found but I do think the bspa should make some sort of statement even if it doesn’t go into the major details especially for the rye fans more than anyone
-
Russel took his share rightly or wrongly but that’s not the most, the majority went to the riders deals, and it wasn’t Ronnie Russell it was his brother
-
Most of the sky money went to the riders but as people keep saying “they have to earn a living you know “ the same people who say the sky money was wasted
-
This is a desperate situation for british speedway, it has to be resolved for the good of the premiership and British speedway in general but I just don’t know how it can be, sad sad times for our once great sport and I feel for the rye house fans and riders
-
I am beginning to wonder if bsi has run its course as far as GPs, there was no fanzone in Warsaw either and I saw that the classic speedway bikes are absent from Cardiff fanzone this year as their space is taken by some sponsor, I’m all for looking after sponsors but the clue is in the name fanzone,you start to ignore the fans and you get into the state british speedway is in, anyway he is hoping for some good racing
-
This is pretty much the only way now, there will be many who kick and scream and I’m sure some will walk away altogether but the sport is all but dead as a professional sport in Britain and a complete reboot is needed, i have often mooted the standard equipment route only to get shot down by the righteous, I’m not sure about club supplied equipment done by a ballot but it should certainly be looked into, the biggest challenge will be to convince the riders but really what choice do they have, in the meantime the bspa have got to do what they do best and come up with a short term solution and get rye house and the other teams through to the end of the season

Stoke didn’t call Saturday off the control board inspector did who I might add got sacked at a track for his track prep and it’s not changing machinery to suit promotors it’s for the good of the sport and to say your interested in rider safety but are fine to let use engines which are unnecessarily. Dangerous , that’s good sense and no I’m not particularly bothered about riders safety and neither are the riders ,they would happily use a product no matter how dangerous it made it as long as it got race wins, what I am concerned about is entertainment for the public and riders sliding off here there and everywhere cause they are riding bikes they are struggling to handle is not entertainment, I have not condemned stokes track cause the SCB have done there job and I have bothered to go and find out what’s going on not just speculate about the problems and put the boot in, I have nothing more to say on this but I will be thinking about you when your at a meeting that’s called off cause the track has a bit of rain in it or a bump or two and after kicking the floor for 30 mins the riders decide not to ride
-
That is correct about the riders so that’s why the sport needs to impose strict rules on machinery of which there are currently barely any,

What has happened to lebedevs ? He was a top rider last season and I thought deserving of a GP wildcard , this season started at Wroclaw and was so poor he was dropped, he joined 1st division rybnik and is struggling again, scoring only a couple of points today,whatever the reason he seems to have really lost it
