BARB are the official company that gets used by the industry...

That's a pretty decent number for a Saturday evening slot on ITV4 I would think.. Don't think the Motorbike Show, that has that slot, would pull that many in...

A great night ahead for the last GP.. Best of Luck to Lambert, as he is easily the best rider of the 2nd half of the season...

And the year before that.... And the year before that .... And the etc etc etc....

Who would have thought?..…

Because he loved riding in it.., Knee deep in mud, and grippy as f**k was Kelvins favourite track.,

Wasn't the NDL seen as being "too good" by those in the top two tiers?.. I used to go and watch the Colts with my then under 16 lad and it cost me a tenner for the both of us to get in . Brilliant value for money and the racing was often on a par with the top tier stuff you paid out almost three times as much for... So much so, I barely watched the Guestfests in tier one and, instead, went most meetings to watch the NDL Guestfests, (perfectly ok at NDL level as it gives riders track time).. I would suggest that the issue wasn't that the NDL was too good, but maybe it was the top two tiers that weren't good enough.... For me, clubs like Birmingham and Workington were perfect for NDL level racing as when they moved up the costs grew but the crowds barely did .. Best of luck to all those under the NORA umbrella...

Has someone told them..?

Or averages to sort..

Who gives a toss?... Tedious in the extreme,. I remember the Witches beating the Aces in the 70's at Hyde Rd.,.. John Louis et al...... How far back do we go to score non existent points?

They are just pretty poor at running the sport... There can be no surprise to see it where it currently is... Self inflicted own goals, one after another..

And then ran it when the kids had gone back to school...

If only there had been a fantastic summer of hot, cloudless, evenings to run Speedway... And a plan to get the cup comps sorted early in the season...

The operating model they should have followed for years is pretty much being written for them. Let us hope they don't "eff it up"..

An excellent summary, from a fan who doesn't come across as entitled.... Some Ipswich fans are coming across as if they are not actually fans of a team that has won ONE top tier title in decades, (a seven team league), and spent a good many years in tier two due to not being able to compete in tier one.. As has been documeted, the takeover took too long for reasons I am sure were valid and required... I looked at the updates website this morning and Ipswich were 8 ahead at just over halfway... Not too poor a team then considering the challenges they faced pre season...
