And next season there may be no tv money. Add the cost of a new airfence and with the prospect of a 5 team premiership less fixtures and the same old faces but more regular. the fans will pick and choose and crowds will diminish. will the sponsors pay the same sponsorship now there is no tv deal and national coverage? I can completely understand why Chris Louis has put the club up for sale.

He wouldn’t make that mistake twice

Yes I am worried there may be no speedway. we had a save our speedway in 1995 and like many others I’m a member of the 400 club some 30 years on but this scenario isn’t a financial one at the moment. The club is extremely well run and has many sponsors and is viable. however next season there won’t be no tv money which is rumoured to be £60k. Not only that will the sponsors want to pay the same money for no national tv coverage ? Unlikely. if the league is reduced to 5 teams will fans pick and choose or stop coming so often because it’s the same old faces ? Chris Louis deserves a lot of credit and respect for what he has done for our club and I can only imagine this is his last resort. im guessing as this is his primary income he isn’t going to gamble it away in a 5 team league. Maybe some of the other teams which are subsidised by their owners are willing to? Who knows. I don’t agree with some saying he has thrown his toys out. Like all democratic organisations you reform from within but he seems to have reached a point where he has had enough and doesn’t like the direction the sport is going. there had been no mud slinging just a for sale notice going up at foxhall. im desperately hoping a resolution can be reached and Chris will carry on but I’m less optimistic. But thank you to John and Chris for providing us with such service over so many years.

That’s another one I do enjoy listening to. Yes I do like a bit of humour. I was wondering if the top league does continue with 4 teams it could be a first for kings lynn. To reach the playoffs and collect the wooden spoon in the same season !!

Poole home meetings especially dire viewing.

Another excellent podcast.

Imo one of the best. Despite one anti Ipswich presenter it’s a very fair and balanced podcast. 😂

Maybe because he is thinking of the good of the sport rather than his own business interests and filling his pockets ??

The late John Perrin was threatening to pull the plug most seasons

Ellesmere Port

In today’s speedway star it’s confirmed as being put back to January 6th

He might be allowed to but Tom only rides in the premiership are not the championship.

The silence is deafening. the customer is treated like a third class citizen

I’m definitely not a tech person but I do get my speedway star digitally and have done for 4 years now. used to go to the newsagent early on a Thursday morning and hope it was in. On a bank holiday it would sometimes be Saturday before a got it. none of that now. Straight to my phone on midnight Wednesday. I can read it anywhere and anytime. suits me perfectly but I completely understand why many prefer the magazine option

I would like to see each club have an app which would be identical in format. I would like the match day programme to be available and be able to compile my programme during the meeting digitally. maybe a couple of cameras fixed in each pit area so during breaks I can see the action in the pits rather than tractor racing. id like the presenter to interview team managers and riders during the meeting as normally over the pa you cannot hear properly. id like to vote for my rider of the night and maybe have competitions to enter. Guess the final score and two top scorers would win a pit tour the following week I’d like information during the week of future meetings and news. Promotions for app users this in my view would give my race day experience a much better value for money without the clubs spending a fortune.

Wow that’s a huge difference.

Kings Lynn also had the same sponsor but for whatever reason couldn’t retain him. Sheffield also benefit from the same sponsor too

1 Doyle 2 Ellis 3 Musielak 4 Rew 5 Brennan 6 Thompson 7 Edwards this comes in under the 40 point limit if indeed it remains.

Don’t think Glasgow are going anywhere. Dan Thompson said he has been released as the championship rules have changed and he can’t be fitted in. he is very disappointed as he wanted to go back.

Can you hear the pirates sing ? We can’t hear anything !!!

Cook and Kerr are brilliant if they miss the start.

Were the fuel testers at Redcar tonight ?

At all costs. they could prepare a decent track and provide some entertainment and still win.

What a load of rubbish so far.
