Unfortunately I think if it comes to that then the decision for alot of people would just be to not go frankly, not a situation a club would want surely. The model for speedway widely in this country is terrible. Its a semi pro sport here but has riders expecting the world that puts pressure on clubs but more often than not its the fans that lose out with whats provided. Once again the powers that be have failed to address any of the many issues and no doubt by the end of the 2019 season we will see even more clubs possibly going to the wall. Not actually sure what or if there is a solution but i certainly dont think raising prices for a further diluted product is the answer.

Speedway is already vastly overpriced in this country. Any promotions thinking of raising prices for next season given its going to be a weaker product again really need to have a look at themselves imo. 15 quid for some of the rubbish that gets served up in the UK is already robbery. Makes me wonder just how badly certain clubs are doing money wise. If what they say in the press every year is to be believed they are potless, but if that were really the case, why do they keep running year after year? Certainly isn't out of loyalty to fans imo.

Gorzow GP. Saturday August 25th 2018
emilali replied to STEPHEN 333's topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup
From a racing point of view what a disappointing uneventful meeting. Like others have eluded to Gorzow used to be an absolute cracker of a track, not sure whats changed. Nice to see Vaculic getting the win, one of the genuine nice guys. -

Awful news fingers crossed it’s nothing serious. -
Tomasz Jedrzejak RIP
emilali replied to racers and royals's topic in International World of Speedway
Horrendously sad news, thoughts with his friends and family at this sad time, RIP. -
Wonder if he will be dipping into the money he takes from the club and putting it back in or he’ll just expect ‘real’ fans to do so.

Berwick v Glasgow ( Championship ) 28-7-18. 7pm
emilali replied to Normski's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
I didnt realise I had to be someone? I actually find it quite sad the way speedway has declined not just at Berwick but in this country generally over the past decade or so. All brought about by promoters taking their main income source for absolute mugs and idiots but then wonder why people stop going and even better take offence when people dont share the opinion they’d like them to have, just all very sad tbh. -

He cant see how many people have had enough of the same rubbish year in and year out as him and the other chuckle brother just love seeing live speedway on their doorstep, irrespective of if its any good or not. -

emilali replied to Normski's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
Lol, coming from Barry chuckle in able support of his sidekick Paul, good one -
If i were Glasgow I would keep Cook at no1, young Thomas at reserve alonside a very strong reserve and just bin the rest and start again (for 2019). For all Harris has had a career full of effort hes been on the decline for years and probably just sees the ££££ signs at Glasgow and has been very inconsistent. Vissing always just been mediocre and apparently can be desruptive. Obviously was really unlucky what happened to Kerr I suppose average permitting he could still do a job next year. Whats happened to Starke I thought he would have a really good season?

No, some of us are able to resist the temptation of ‘live speedway on their doorstep’ when its absolutely garbage. -

Were the Bandits just really fired up to get the win for the fans and show their true worth as Bandit legends or were Glasgow just pants? -
Surely after all the money the owners have ploughed into Glasgow they cant be happy with the dross this side serves them up can they?

Glasgow v Berwick - Championship 27/7/18 @ 7.30pm
emilali replied to Solidmango's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
Hardly a surprise considering the calibre of opposition is it. -
I'm sure tonight will be another carnival atmosphere with passing galore and a big home win for the mighties. Nowt better than live speedway when its high quality ;)

Take your pick, they are all woeful. Personally Doolan would be the first to be booted for me, followed very closely by Howe, NBJ and Summers.

Leicester v Poole. Prem. 9/7/18. BT sports.
emilali replied to Steve Shovlar's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
If speedway in this country wasnt already finished BT showing matches from that whole will certainly help to add a few more nails into the coffin. How anyone could design a track and come up with that is beyond me. Not even something I will watch the rest of from my front room, feel sorry for anyone who pays to watch it live. -
Workington v Berwick 06/07/2018 7:30pm Ch
emilali replied to topaz325's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
Another absolutely woeful night on track for Berwick, I feel sorry for anyone daft enough to pay money to watch that team. -
Not in their interests to tell the fans if there isnt going to be a full strength team, just keep quiet and then spring it on them come 7pm once they’ve taken their money, disgusting really but what importance to the fans hold to the promoters in this country eh. By the way alot of them talk you’d think they are doing the fans a favour running a team.
-
Think that result just emphasises whats wrong with Berwick. A lackadaisical effort when they really needed to turn up. That Berwick team has riders that have been going to Armadale for years so to go and perform like that is extremely poor. If this had been an Edinburgh side that performed like that I’m sure their promotion would have got torn into them, the Berwick lot probs took them down the pub for a laugh and carry on whilst writing the match preview for saturday night telling everyone how the Bandits are ready to thrill the fans with every turn of the wheel. Bring it on.

I didnt say they could afford Morris. I said we were told Morris had been replaced like for like.

Berwick v Edinburgh 16.06.218 @ 7pm
emilali replied to screm's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
Might try and bring Edberg back he’s a good club man likes a laugh and a giggle. -
I’m sure hes a great lad and hes riding to his true potential and all that but how pathetic is Summers as a no1? Last 3 nights for example hasnt turned up at all. And they said Morris was replaced like for like lol.
