and this is where the problem lies, riders can't and won't see the wood for the trees ,they have a mentality that they are somehow disadvantaged by any bike changes even if it saves them money in the long run , ask ex rides and they will agree suggested way forward for bikes but while they are part of it no chance -

you won't get 10kg extra weight without including the engine , the more weight the slower the bike , it will make a difference and because it does it will never happen -

to be fair the standard bike prices haven't risen that much but nobody rides the standard bike anymore , tuners are only doing what the riders want , basically what the sport needs to do is put rules in place so as the standard stuff is used , put 10kg on the minimum weight of the bike, simple rule , riders will use standard stuff instead of lightened more expensive bits to get the weight up and also it will slow the bikes fractionally , they may even use heavier flywheels and make the bike less volatile -

no it isn't all down to that one meeting although one other rider seems to be having a go at getting rid of all the fans and I know through a couple of connections that the promotion has to take some responsibility for their actions but all these things plus where we are as a sport is taking its toll and still a lot of folks (including riders )refuse to change or even accept that we need to change -

This Saturday Workington who are just about keeping their heads above the water and are desperate to get their crowds above 500 😳Yes 500 are having to race a home meeting with 2 top riders missing because they are representing other clubs in the elite league championship or whatever it's called these days . Do we really need to keep spelling it out for people to understand ?? -

I guess your not reading my other posts of why I feel I no longer have a team to follow -
Do We Still Need The Play-offs
THE DEAN MACHINE replied to Star Lady's topic in Speedway News and Discussions
im not going , not just because of things like the price rise , just lost interest in British speedway and that is where we are , if the sport can't get someone like me to go it's doing something wrong and needs to change it thinking , I'm not lost to the sport just the British version -

I didn't know riders were not giving their all in other matches , what you describe should be standard in all matches , you shouldn't have to pay extra for basically you making the event atmosphere bettter -

THE DEAN MACHINE replied to Star Lady's topic in Speedway News and Discussions
not interested in any other sports but when money is tight and the sport is struggling to attract fans it shouldn't be making the public pay extra , you get nothing extra for your money , the riders don't get anything extra , the costs are the same so why should the fans be charged extra ? -

One thing I don't like about the playoffs is they put the admission price up for the final, thanks for supporting us all year and being a loyal fan in return we are going to sting you for another couple of quid
