Your first point is hard to prove either way ...as has been say before who is to say that the crowds would be a lot lower if sky was not about . Speedway with tv or not has just fallen away year by year for ages I Don't see it not being tv suddenly bringing in a whole lot of fans .

Do you ? it all depends if people want to run Speedway and put money into it with only 3 years left. There is a school of thought that you could be paid money to step out of the way . All in all a tragic day for Cov and the sport ... and let's face it is going to be very very hard to find another site to run speedway .

Dave's brother

I Think we are all losing sight of what is important here and that how will able to print our own scorecards without knowing the format . Someone told me to look on line at the updates from the first match and make a copy from that but not sure will work as the BSPA might block the site .

What are talking about ? you said that the reason format was not coming out was to stop people making race cards up .so explain to everyone what is there to stop people looking at the updates on the very first match and then making a copy ? . Or are you saying that it will only stop people pre season from printing race cards ?

oh no

So how will it stop people ? you said that this was the reason they have not given us the new format ..of course as I pointed all you would have do was look at the first match of season then copy it ...making your claim look stupid .

Make sure folks that you don't look at the updates for the first match of the season otherwise you will be able print your race card out and stop the evil plans of the bspa

I guess you got that the wrong way round

..a master plan, they are not allowing it as they don't want the public to print of there programmes for one match ...you come up with some classics but this tops the lot .

The fact that a lot of fans are upset shows that is has created a problem otherwise we would not be talking about it ...the fact they they have not been able to sort out the format 3 weeks before the season is also a problem ..of course to you it does not matter but as we have seen to others it does .

Very true ...but he has got a point

Yea the world best players playing in sell out stadiums ..let hope speedway never gets like this .

But it's a pr stunt ! so people won't be able to print there own Formula for the first meeting

Don't worry about them ..Fans just turn up at Speedway who cares about the format or the teams as long as it's £16

But you don't the limitations as don't know what sort of crowds you are going to get . Every time you have to weight up what you might pay a rider in the hope that the extra numbers will make it pay . Little point putting out a cheap team then no one turning up as you can lose more money doing it that way

Most people think that the stupid rules already brought in that it has already been ruined ..that even before the ones they can't even decide on like this one .

It's stands to reason that the rules not being known to any sport with only 3 weeks left to a start season has to be a massive concern .

They made changes every year because the year before they got it wrong .The changes they have made this year are garbage again and will no doubt only last a year . It's quite clear that the powers that be have a problem with the format hence why it is not in the public domain .

Spot on Steve ..any rule that can be bent in speedway normally is . Barrow Boy is coming from the angle of everyone playing it fair .

It would be quite easy ..a certain rider only having one ride and being replaced by better riders would be a massive advantage ..so it would easy how somehow could look at it as cheating .

Don't start him off

Not going to be hard to be signed off by the track doctor unlikely to have a x ray machine etc just have to say my leg or arm hurts and off you go ...Also under your rules if the 5th rider is hurt the out of depth reserve can only take there place ? that will be great for the crowd and the team who's rider get's injured . As someone has already said another can of worms has just been opened .

Spot on . Expect riders not to able to carry on in vital stages of the match and the better riders taking there place ...yet another rule that will allowed cheating .
