Peterborough V Redcar 09/04/2017.
LagutaRacingFan replied to spencebel's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
Redcar look a decent side however, Richard Hall is not a very good rider. The difference will be in the reserve departments, the Panthers will score 12+ while Redcar will score less than 5. 50-40 to the Panthers. -
Championship Admission Costs.
LagutaRacingFan replied to topaz325's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
This is a skewed comparison, it should also be about quality and value for money. I'd pay £25 to watch speedway at the Showground. I wouldn't pay £10 to watch speedway at Ipswich. -
Disgraceful. King and Bates are both a joke.

I think we need a reshuffle, I don't think Holder is good enough as a number 1. What would Kenneth Bjerre's average be? -
No Loyality To British Riders

I voted for Brexit to protect British jobs. -
Liar. Show us your bill?

Why would BT be interested in speedway? It's one thing taking a stream for the SGPs but actually covering the production costs for an event? BT are also tightening their belts with the CL football bidding coming up soon!

Lawson Or Masters?

I can't wait for Brexit. Aussie riders can bugger off. -
The 4's @ Peterborough

Disappointing but It's not the end of the world. -
Cook Or Kasprzak
LagutaRacingFan replied to Hamish McRaker's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
This is a joke right? Kasprazak by a country mile. Maybe Cook around a select few tracks in the UK. -
Peterborough Panthers 2017
LagutaRacingFan replied to Flappy's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
Aus championships is not a barometer to British speedway, different machinery, tracks and climate. Darcy Ward never won the Australian championship title and he turned out fine as a rider in Britain. -
Brilliant statement from Mick.

Jeremy Corbyn made a brilliant speech today which got me thinking about the current plight of Speedway. I for one can't see the value in the current admission prices and i understand the struggle that promoters face with increasing costs in terms of riders who are constantly looking to purchase the best equipment so they can make it in the likes of Poland and Sweden. A family of four are looking at spending over £40 and that's excluding food and drink, this is for a product which is sub-standard in terms of entertainment at certain tracks and between races, waiting in the cold while riders play around with equipment in the pits is hardly enthralling. How can speedway continue to carry on like this? If we cap earnings for the top riders, that would then bring down the costs of middle tier riders and lower tier riders, a cheaper product which is more affordable for the majority which leads to higher crowds, increased viewership and sponsors.
