Of course years ago every track had its sprinkling of individuals, test matches, 4TT etc. However, hardly anyone runs them now so we end up with massive gaps in the calendar.
It's quite simple, one big league and keep costs down. I'm not saying it's their fault. But I don't buy a Ferrari as I cannot afford one. I merely stated that fixed race nights give them problems, or clearly you have the solution?
Once again speedway in Britain has backed itself into a corner. Fixed race nights ( whether you agree or disagree) will contribute to the death of the sport in the UK. Already we have a pile of fixtures stacking up with limited dates on which to stage them. If the top flight promoters won't deal or cannot deal with the problem, then quite frankly the sport deserves to die on its arse!
All joking and P1ss taking aside, there must come a point where the reality drops in on British Speedway. They whether be lack of crowds, riders or whatever, seriously how long can a cockroach survive without it's head!
What's the betting that some of these teams run past the cut off date? The sport lost its tv contact because it could run a p1ss up in a brewery. So what do we get more of the same.
And therein lies the problem. The speedway authorities won't challenge it and the status quo won't change. As the old saying goes, never kick a man when he's down.
The only thing I can see is new riders coming through or cloning of existing ones! Failing one or both of the above, I'm afraid the ship goes down with only brave hardy souls on board!
