Of course there more to it than that ...but unless the crowds get better speedway dies a death .....a just everything that is only done by making the standard higher ..this utter madness of thinking we should run at pl level a level that has seen clubs nearly going bust and hanging on for grim death is not going help anyone . Ive Not got the answers not sure anyone has but I know one league at pl level is 100 % not the way . Just like anything is not always the money it's the value you get ..people will £ 50 for a pl football match if they think it's worth it .
-
Like the Pl you mean ...as we have seen it's not working ..if close racing was important Scunthorpe would not be on the verge of going out of business ...the people who have stopped going know Tai Woffiden from Ty Proctor

ZZZ The standard guff about wanting to run like the pl thou quite clearly as Plymouth have shown hardly anyone wants to watch it ...when are you going to wake up and understand the pl is dying as much as other league .it's not working The only way forward to get more fans in and that is making the standard better just like any other sport.. it's utter guff about the bonding varied fixtures etc etc otherwise the pl would be packed with fans rather than clubs being on the edge of going broke . The first thing we need to do it's to understand that speedway is not working at all levels rather this stupid thinking that it's only at El level and somehow the pl is the way to go .because it's not .

Wolves - Swindon 4/4/16 Rained Off
orion replied to A ORLOV's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
I am getting sick of sky calling off meetings ...going to cancel sky sports now -
To fair Colin we don't know why this match was first pulled off sky and then called off ....have a feeling it's nowt to do with the weather forcast .
-
Of course there would a bigger crowd without sky ....hence why you get the sky money when your on tv ...if sky were not involved the match would never have been on this date in the first place . W

Because the crowd would be poor ....the only fingers you would be pointing would be at yourself.

Your Joking ? I thought it was the real one good work young Sherlock
-
All a bit strange ..got to be more than just missing this match after last week as well.....maybe a dispute over money between the clubs and sky ?

Not sure what a keyboard warrior is ....someone who does not agree with you ?

British Final
orion replied to phillipsr's topic in Speedway Testimonials & Individual and Shared Events
Harris and Nicholls were always a match for Tai at Wolves ..but as has been said on a bigger track with Tai on his best engines and attitude they would not stand a chance . -
Sadly you might be right this year Ask me that last question again about 10.30 pm on Monday
-
To late ..Steve Brum has already started the told you so's ...even thou he come unstuck when he done the same last year
-
I respect your opinion a lot ...and I agree with you with what you say and understand that people move on to better jobs etc ...the people who run the sport in the uk we all agree a complete mess of everything hence why the sport in on it's knees even here the way they have got abouts things on the dates etc is a complete cock up ....I just fell strongly in this case and where the sport is and with Tai being world champion he should make a massive effort to help and promote the league and the sport in the uk I don't look it like a normal 9 to 5 job etc it's more than that . Uk speedway helped to put Tai where he is I think the least he could do if he cares about British speedway is to ride in it's final .
-
Lets hope if they do win the cricket they stay with there clubs in England and back the game here and put something back into the sport ....I hear others turn there back on the sport in the uk that built them up
-
And you reply again ...as normal your taking the same path ..moaning about a topic going on, and on but keep adding to it., the same as the time before ...it's almost Starman like .
-
Not sure there dumb ..what the likes are you are doing is not understanding the argument ...people think that he is aussie at heart and the way he treats uk speedway adds fuel to the fire ..you may not agree with that but nothing non intelligent about thinking that, it's just a valid point of view .
-
Another chris classic ..not for the first time you go on to a topic to moan about it still going on ..then add another comment ...if your not sad and don't want it to rage on ..don't read it and don't comment ..how hard can it be ?
-
It's a system that had nearly made every World Champion ...without our leagues people Woffy ,Holder ,Crump etc would never have been world champions ....just like Woffy when they need us at the start there is no slagging off it's only when they moved on to better that that it's somehow crap etc etc . It's a fact without the wildcard he got because he choose to ride for gb he would not have been World Champion that year ..we open all the doors for him . Not everyone has the morals i guess some people have pride and want ride for there nation ....other go's for the money Quick question for you if it's so poor ..why don't likes of Holder Woffy and Ward start in Poland and Sweden then ?

Swindon Robin's V Coventry Bees 31st March
orion replied to mdmc82's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
Enjoyed the match thou both teams looked quite weak ,,,the biggest laugh was the Pole for cov going round for a lap of houour at the end ...still not quite sure why as he crap . -
The system and the wildcard made him the rider he is and the riches that came with it ...Reimburse is the wrong word ...but he should have a sense of duty seeing where speedway is going in the uk and try to help out as much as he can as the uk's top rider and World champion .
-
Spot on... I remember at the time no one knowing would he ride for the GB or Aus ...it was quite clear that he could have got Aussie citizenship and gone that path
-
Maybe I am wrong but I am sure if Chris Froome as was born in Kenya would be allowed to represent them if he choose to do so ..hence in sporting terms he would be classed as Kenyan ..so no ignorance at all . As for child like your Sticking up for anything Tai just because he rode for Wolves is akin to a 13 year old girl and hence why anything you say on subject is not important
-
Why would it matter ...he told us it was about burn out and nothing to do with money .
-
Add to that the wildcard sponsors etc .
