A pipe dream... You cannot run the level that the promoters want without ensuring many riders have to be full time pros.. 2nd Div Promoters want to use Div 1 level HL's, so that Div1 HL needs to be spending plenty and therefore expects a decent return... When £30k (and often well, well above) is the outlay on kit then riders need to ride as much as is possible.. In a perfect world, there would be clear demarcation within the leagues, and organic aspirational growth, with no rider sharing.. That ship sailed many, many years ago (if it had even ever been contemplated that is)... Speedway in the UK is in "survival mode" rather than "growth mode", and has been for a good many years, with promoters doing their level best in their own way to keep it going... If they could "run it properly like other sports" then I am 100% sure they would.. What we have is pretty much all there is, so no point in hoping for any magic wand to come along and change things.. Enjoy the racing, but dont get too bothered about the results, is the best way to look at UK Speedway... It still has the ability to provide huge excitement and a good night out when done well, as a fair few tracks do...

"Enough meetings for riders" is the starting point, and the major objective that must be delivered.. Seconded by "What level of rider can my club afford to have"... The structure chosen then has to reflect those two objectives..

They have to fit in the Jubilee Trophy 2022 as well don't forget...

How many rides is a steel shoe allowed to do when a team runs RR?

2H and 2A? Best start it next Monday then.....

Wow!!! Radical..... Luckily the sport in the UK has too many fans already so doesn't need to put meetings on when more people can get there...

I was running out of bandwidth to send it....

Tai, Tobi, Jack, Kyle, Lewis Jason, Chris, Adam, Richard, Connor Josh, Claus, Jye, Bomber, Robert. Edit- And David (Thanks RS50).. There may be more..

To be fair, those who you mention, especially the first 3, had a much wider public profile which was much larger than Tai's was, is, and ever will be... His racing level now is dropping so fast that maybe he feels he needs to be "street" to remain in the public eye..? But. At 33 it does look a little sad to be honest to try and come across as "hardcore yoof".... Maybe he could do some of that great music he does about it? My 20 year old lad, who has always been a huge fan of Tai given his success coincided with my lads formative Speedway watching years, summed it up quite elequontly when he said... "What a f***ing knob, how old is he?"...

Monster! Monster!!!!!!

Let's be honest, no one should really take it too seriously... How can you when Bomber played a major part in Ipswich reaching the final, then played a major part in their opponents beating Ipswich in that final... Bomber who rides for Peterborough... A last heat decider made for good TV, but given such nonsense is allowed to take place, it is best not to get too worked up about the result...

Sheffield certainly benefited having Bomber there instead of him in those conditions... And as for Tuesday st Foxhall? If he had rode there, his toys would have been even further out of their joint pram then Lambert's were...

This... Gate 3 is usually the worst by far at Sheffiekd so to have Emil and Doyle both off it in the first four races seemed daft... Two 3-3's there and a completely different start to the meeting...

And Ellis and Kerr who were there for about 70% of it...

A Sheffield fan.!!!.. Easier to find the world hide and seek champion than finding one on here on Tuesday...

Reg Wilson... Dougie Wyer... Robert Lambert,. Chris Harris... Sheffield Legends....

A 13 man team....

Have they got enough medals for alll Sheffield's riders and their guest this year?

Because Holder would have passed him...

Can Robert make it a hat trick next year? For? (Fill the team name in here)....

Imagine how good Speedway could be if you could cherry pick riders every night?..

Does Bomber get a winners and a losers medal regardless of this last heat?

Robert Lambert #aceslegend #tigerslegend #mickeymousesport

Rew... Rides the inside for three laps then moves out after he is passed...

Ippo need at least no more than a 2-4...
