Under the current leadership the sport is doomed. They are running it into the ground.

Scott Nicholls ?

He attended the morning photo shoot but wasn’t available for the practice or meet the riders event in the evening

Having gone to meet the riders and having heard from the new promoters I have to say my first impression is that I think the club is in very good hands. Chris Louis had really pushed the club to new professionalism levels and commercial success. He and Julie deserve a lot of credit and I thank them both for their efforts Richard Coleman spoke very openly and honestly and he is definitely a very strong leader with a clear vision. He believes like most fans that the way forward is for an independent ruling body to stop the self interest ruining the sport. it’s going to be a very interesting seeing how the top table deal with this breath of fresh air.

He certainly thrived with the extra responsibility of being a number 2 at Birmingham and last year improved again. He looked very impressive at Lynn last week especially coming back from a broken leg.

Such a shame and shortsighted of whoever decided to axe it.

That speaks volumes of how well the BSPL promoted it !!! go on the website homepage and under the more option it will appear.

No media day this year and now they are ditching the British speedway podcast as well as a cost cutting measure. Apparently due to no tv deal. This is a great shame as it was a very good professional podcast It seems utter madness to not have either to promote our sport. We now have Northampton which is a fantastic boost for the sport but that’s a bigger secret than the Masons. What on earth do those supposedly running the premiership thinking of. We should be looking up to the levels of Poole and Glasgow rather than dumbing down to the levels of Scunthorpe two of the best things to emerge in the last ten years are BSN and Team GB Which shows what can be achieved with competent forward thinking management.

Be a great opportunity to start up some bikes and promote the new team to current customers of the stadium. Give out flyers as people enter the stadium. But we all know what is planned by the BSPL. Absolutely nothing.

Yes Colin Horton took over and threw money about. But allegedly made his money through insurance fraud on containers being lost at sea.

And I believe it was a deliberate ploy of sandhu. He knew he would ruin it and quickly.

Makes you wonder if the premiership have done this on purpose because no championship teams wanted to commit financial suicide and make the numbers up

While that might be true that doubling up is keeping the sport running it does nothing to make it credible. without credibility it won’t grow and the media certainly isn’t interested in it’s current guise. try going into your local pub and explaining how doubling up and guests work in our sport. It’s embarrassing

The past two years the premiership has had a media day. Is that happening this year as I don’t remember seeing anything about one. with no team announced at Northampton as yet we could have a game of guess who ! get the riders to dress like the stig and unveil them along with their mystery owners and promoters

Depends what levels you set the leagues and how many riders in a team I guess. doubling up is killing the sport in this country. We have to either limit it to uk residents first and then get rid or the whole system in say 5 years time. for the sport to grow it has to have credibility.
