Yea because there are plenty of people who want to buy a speedway club !

What idiot picked Wells as a guest

Shame to lose Tobi but it might end up better if we can get a decent reserve in .

Never thought I would say this but to see Poole Speedway like that is sad .. No crowd a cow pat of a track and stadium looking like a tip ..The grass in the center green was not even cut .. The meeting itself was garbage and that is being kind .

What a pasting that was .. Belle Vue should change there name to Jokers rather than Aces

Not if there no top riders ….put lesser riders out and no where would be packed even you did ride once a year

So if they were away not only were they be certain to lose the match the crowd would suffer as well .. The above example is why will still have guests because as nearly every idea lacks any idea about the money side of the sport

And ? the stadium was full what the racing is like has little to with attendances as Belle Vue has shown us

Correct ..the moment we stop using guests will be as successful as Poland and Sweden you can see it now fans who have stopped going will flock back once the news get's out . Clubs will have to take the phones off the hooks as the sponsors phone them up the sport will be awash with money and just like Poland with 20 ,000 purpose built staduims wlll arise just because we don't use guests

The competitions were massive and people did care .what they never cared about was guests being used .

imagine Cradley using a guest from Wolves or Swindon using a rider from Oxford ? it happened and no one lynch anyone or really cared . As has been said before thou guests are not ideal not one person has come up with a better and workable idea that won't effect crowds figures . The uk ran a system with guests and at one time had massive stature and still meant a lot .

So if say Jason Doyle is out injured you replaced him with a championship rider of 4.50 ?

Been here before ..the wilder media gave speedway loads of coverage when had guests not so many I grant you but still guests .. they also gave mass media to the World Championship that had some of most mickey mouse and unfair rules you can have . Speedway has always micke ymouse rules but its not stop it from being popular or getting Media attention . To much is made of what the public and the media think of the rules .

They should play that if they get a 5-1 in heat 15 's

I am saying he would not have made it in a fair system ..the point is not really about Muller but more about old speedway fans moaning about the GP'S system when the old system was one of the worst and unfair you could have .

Not sure what other sports have to do with it . The bottom line is Muller only made World Finals due to a stupid and unfair system .

If the rules were fair in the old days Muller would never made any finals .. he only got into the final because he rode against a weaker set of riders in the first place .

I expect it was successful because all the top riders rode in it etc etc and there was not much else to do ..There been a variety of teams in the Pl for years its hardly helped or made the crowds bigger

The big league was hardly the salvation in the 90's thou

To late ...speedway has sunk so low it can't be saved now in the uk . Years of making the standard lower has killed it I think only in speedway can people used the same plan 29 years in a row only to think the way forward is to do the same the next year .

Here we go again lets cut the standard ..When will speedway ever learn . Year 30 of the same plan

But those have still been in place. teams, have still been racing on sat and sun and crowds have still been going down with clubs closeing .People used to play local football at a weekend but now it's nearly dead as there is far more things to do.In the 70' s what could do on a Sunday bar go the church .Times have moved on .

The teams that run on Saturdays have hardly been getting big crowds . it's pretty clear that people these days do only other things on a Saturday night . I would go to watch Swindon on a Thursday but would not go on a Saturday .and there plenty who feel the same . Yet again it's just old speedway fans wanting to go back in time . that time has past

I think Swindon missed a trick .Zach should have been put in heat 13 and Perks in 14 .Perks had a great chance of picking up a point in 14 while Zach had none .Would have put Ellis in 15 as well .

RR makes Poole even Stronger .. Swindon will have to pull off a shock win
