It is such a shame that this hasn't worked out, so many call for young Brits to be given a chance and are not fully behind them. Good luck Jake.

This is just not acceptable, have I got a lot to learn about Speedway fans, this forum or Leicester in particular? As a relative newby I'm not impressed.

I raised the issue following the way I perceived the tone of the thead having waded through pages. Both you and SK are balanced throughout as with your replies to me, thank you. If both your inputs were removed from the whole thread it leaves a lot of negative comments and doesn't paint the posters in the best light. There is a minority who seem to have personal issues with the promotion and I wouldn't have thought this was the platform to get them resolved hence my conclusion that there is too much whinging. It just seems to breed more negative behaviour.

I've been reading through this thread because it is a Hot topic but far from being interesting probably 80% of it is negative and having a pop at the people who own and run your club. What is the problem are Sheffield fans just whingers or am I misunderstanding something?

I suppose you're right, without the 40 or so (more with guest and double up appearances) loss making meetings PL riders get from a BSPA/SCB/ACU affiliation they probably wouldn't be in a position to agree 6 plum bookings for the MCF. Then on the othe hand if the MCF gives them all vans, mechanics, tyres, insurance, workshops, engines to sign on for 6 meetings, 50 pence a mile and £100 a point then the BSPA could save a fortune and start to make money instead of subsidising the sport to keep it alive. I wonder why the MCF didn't approach the BSPA/SCB/ACU with this great idea, you don't think it's 'cos they wanted to make money do you? Oh no of course not it's to benefit British riders! Yeah right..
