We potentially lost quality as we made it unaffordable for scores of riders who couldn't make it pay. I believe it was Dean Machine who pointed out the staggering numbers of in particular British riders lost to the sport in the last few years. Why do we keep going for quality in a vained attempt to keep a dwindling fan base.

Maybe 7 teams but probably only 3 of them competitive. Unfortunately the sport in its current format I would suggest would fail to garner any meaningful tv deal. Unfortunately nobody votes for change when the end result means shafting your own promotion.

Anyone spot Lord Lucan riding Shergar?

I don't really care how we get extra riders just as long as we get them. As I said previously regardless of 1, 2 or 3 leagues, a sport with no competitors is no longer a sport. If Richard Coleman doesn't rock the boat then the boat will sink!

Titanic underwater if it doesn't work out. The guy is a complete breath of fresh air, people need to give their heads a wobble and listen to him.

The trouble with uk speedway is clear and simple. The toys are too expensive and we no longer have the boys to play with them.

Coventry, Swindon, Arena, Peterborough to name a few.

I believe we have had 14 meetings this season. Quite shocking when we used to have nearly 30. What I want to know is with all these defunct teams wanting to come back, where are we getting the riders from? And even if we get riders from abroad, how the hell are most clubs going to pay them on pitiful gates.

It certainly was from the terraces. Really concerning and more importantly where this sport is heading. A sport with no participants surely ceases to be a sport eventually. Please correct me if I am wrong but I believe you said before that something like 90 odd British riders have been lost to the sport in the last decade? If that's the case then that far outweighs anything to do with silverware.

Pairs and CLRC
TB1 replied to LisaColette's topic in Speedway Testimonials & Individual and Shared Events
We could call it the BLRC. The both leagues riders championship. -
Belle Vue will win it hands down I have no doubt about it. What's more important is the sports future. Failure to do so and the promoters might as well carry on with the violins on the deck as the ship goes down!

More chance of extra terrestrial tv than normal tv. If it was that good they'd be queuing up.

Ipswich vs Sheffield Monday 7th September
TB1 replied to Aries's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
Looking at the table I presume Lynn have to win both their remaining matches to catch us? -
And all 3 meetings scheduled for 7th September, so unless Sheffield sign Basil Brush or something at number 1 then they will have to go with RR again then.

Lol got more chance of Bart Simpson than Bart Zmarzlik!
