Danny King, pressure on, gets passed up the inside too easily, needs to move on, doesn't team ride etc etc etc.... Who is up first for Danny King bingo!! -

A strange track... Quite wide in parts of the bends but you only ride the part about 2m from the kerb... Hit the apex and drift up... Hence follow the leader.. -

I think you will find Leicester were top.... That's why they are riding against the fourth placed team... -

It seems the default setting for Ipswich.. They then grade it and the inside goes really slick about heat 7.... -

But at least it was "genuine".. And to be fair to the Poles they have learned and tweaked RR this year to make it more fit for purpose.. Anyhow... Onwards with the fence inflating... -

Time to sack Phil Morris?
mikebv replied to RoundTheBoards's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
I agree.. For me, the best way to watch UK Speedway... Unfortunately, they are trying to sell a team sport so, some kind of emotional attachment is fundamentally needed to keep you returning... That won't be happening anytime soon with or without Phil Morris I suspect.. He is giving it a go at improving things so best of luck to him.. -
I don't think it cares if it's seen as a serious sport given the way it is ran.. Too much involved to run it "properly" and the skill set of many involved will be miles away from being able to do so from a capability angle.. 14 random riders (or at least 12), turning up at the same place, at the right time, and riding their bikes to earn money is what the sport is about. With the racing, hopefully, good enough to get repeat visits from the punters.. Not much more and not much less than that...

It's just simply you cannot ever take the sport seriously (in a team concept), when such nonsense pervades.. Nothing will change though so we have what we have.. Which, ultimately, sadly, can never grow the sport.. -

Less riders per team, and a fit for purpose RR facility would be a start.. And some actual deterrent for missing meetings over here would also help... -

Guesting is part of the operating model because 1) it is easy to do, which means you don't need to find a way to not use them through changing your team structures, and, 2) the riders like the chance to earn extra money, doubling up and guesting is vital for those who don't ride in Poland... Hence, they will stay and major sponsors, and many thousands of fans, will stay away... -

Makes you wonder how other leagues around Europe cope with not using guests...😀 Another good win for Emil, that's two wins and a second so far . He's back!! (Just not back over here)..😁 -
Maybe they should have chosen the four teams in April... That would have given them even more time to market the meetings... Imagine the crowd size with six months worth of promotion?!

How's the marketing campaign coming along?
