The glaring issue there being guidelines are not complied with by many in the population.. You cant get people to stick to speed limits clearly sign posted so you've no chance to get them to follow 'self responsibility' guidelines.. "Not going to happen to me/I will be fine/These rules are for others, not me" is the mantra of many... And you also have to consider that many in the country are inherently thick so dont even understand what is going on around them.. Hence beaches are crammed full when the sun comes out, shops still have people entering without masks, and pubs are full of people sat next to each other when the "beer kicks in" and their worries and inhibitions are lost.. Whilst all this exists, the virus will always find a receptive host..

Time to have an enquiry into the death of Speedway

You and many, many more sadly . Truly amazing how so many, over so many years, have collectively managed to deliver what we have today. With not one it appears seeing the terraces emptying around them or their costs of running rising at the same time.. Just when you needed more customers because you chose to increase your outgoings, you deliver something which alienates even some of your most loyal patrons... And then continue to do it, year in, year out, even though the fans are telling you by their lack of visits that you are on the wrong path.. A Dragons Den business plan pitch it is definitely not... -

Can't remember who, but it was one of those involved who said in the Speedway Star when the admission cost was mentioned that he thought it "cheap"... The rationale used being that if you went to watch a "top show" in Londons entertainment sector you would would be paying many times that amount.. -

Been some great racing at Rybnik this year... Pity they don't have another heat leader to assist Lambert and Woryna.. And be able to ride the inside better....!!! -

Polish Comms tonight calling him "Vorina" during his races.. Hopefully that will do... And to be fair, Sam used that pronunciation most of the time last night..

If I was a Rybnik fan I'd be pretty peed off by my riders getting passed on the inside so easily.. If they get passed round the outside then fair enough, but at least make the opposition work for it.. -

Speedways governors have failed us
mikebv replied to ruckerroo's topic in Speedway News and Discussions
Many of whom seem to spend lots of time, focus and money in putting one over their rivals to win competitions rendered pretty much worthless in terms of both kudos and great financial reward by the very actions that they take.... A very strange business plan indeed.. Maybe one day they will all truly work together and put the sport first. Whilst it's still there.. -

It's grammar not spelling. The spelling was correct. -
Need more fans to make it viable I would think... Grandstand alone is circa 1800 and the whole crowd seldom gets too close to that.. They reduced the back straight stand due to not needing the size it was too.. Would certainly 'complete' the stadium though..

Especially with two of the best riders in the world hopefully fit and well to ride... Bewley as U21 rider as a track specialist, and track record holder, isn't a bad third rider to have too.. (If they are stil doing the compulsory U21 rider?).. If not then Craig Cook is another who is excellent around the NSS.. Could be a very good couple of days.. (If on)...

They have... They are going to run the meetings by sharing riders... Riders will be allowed to ride in both of the top leagues for two different teams and even the NL if they qualify to do so depending on their average so these lads can have a third team.. They will also allow the sharing of riders on any given night between teams within the same division, so for example, Brady Kurtz could ride for BV on Monday and Sheffield on Thursday, likewise Nicki P could do the same but in reverse.. Obviously it could result in contrived septets, with riders riding under a 'flag of convenience' on a random ad hoc basis just to put a meeting on.. In fact, pretty much the operating model they have ran for donkey's years!!! Ahead of the curve British Speedway, ahead of the curve.. -
Circa £200 a point is the covid 19 going rate for the heat leader level riders.. 50% less than normal. . Hence Josh G decided not to bother...
