And we don’t need more fixtures because I’ve filled my calendar with stock car meetings which would have been staged at Bradford. Sorry I mean because the second time teams came our crowds were down. which had nothing to do with us being bottom of the league

Spot on ! my worry is that the strategy for SFL is to find a wealthy fool and in exchange for his or her money we will change the sport to their wishes surely put a credible two league structure in place with promotion and relegation. Play offs to decide who gets promoted in championship. And play offs in premiership to decide who gets relegated. who comes top wins the league in both divisions. begin to phase out doubling up by only allowing riders who are living in the uk to double up. once you achieve this you can then get tv interested again with lots of meaningful fixtures

You are correct on both counts. the fence has to be a polyfoam barrier but as reported in this week’s speedway star the company that provided the fences has gone bust.

Doesn’t Phil Morris answer to Godfrey ?

I think you are giving the BSPL too much credit Dean. They wouldn’t think of that !!! imo the 6th team is just a pipe dream. If they had acted sooner it could have been achieved but Godfreys head was too deep in the sand.

The gate has the same issue as the owner. It had a screw loose 😆

Dan t will definitely push on next season. Great ability and attitude

So what has happened for Kevin boothby to give up the lease at mildenhall ? Is it financial issue or is he just cutting back due to ill health ? and what’s happening at Oxford regarding the lease. The

That’s because the BSPL announced Ipswich were running and not Chris Louis who apparently was rightly furious

Why on earth did they announce it if the deal wasn’t finalised.

Great choice. Sharp gater and a big track rider.

Do you mean Emil sayfutinov? just because you have unfortunately lost your team don’t allow your bitterness to bring my team down.

I’d rather have a junior than tungate. No doubting his ability but his attitude stinks

For me for speedway to survive and thrive into the future is to have credible 2 main leagues of equal amount of teams. promotion and relegation between the leagues. One up and one down. play offs in division 2 for promotion and playoffs in division one for relegation. whoever tops the table is league champions. im the top league every meeting should be meaningful wether you are fighting relegation or trying to be champions. in the second division the battle is for champions and the playoffs would decide promotion if you could get a tv deal and decent sponsorship for the leagues the money should be divided up into prize money depending where you finish in the league. a extra payment would be given to the promoted team to assist them in transition to the top league. a credible league could attract good sponsors and a promotion and relegation battle would make excellent tv.

Years ago when you became a number one at division two you would move up into the top division and become a number 7 at your new club imo when the promoters changed the natural progression ladder it all went downhill.

Maybe ray Morton

That’s why Ipswich didn’t retain Rew. He wanted same money as Doyle apparently.

Couldn’t agree more. the press release had far more questions than answers. Told us how many ndl teams but failed to name them !!!

Absolutely nothing regarding a short medium or long term plan. Just another sticking plaster on a gaping wound. the good ship speedway titanic is on its way to the sea bed while captain Godfrey has his fingers in his ears while ordering master bates to rearrange the deck chairs.

He is back

It’s incredible how badly BSPL treat their customers. Absolutely no information whatsoever or a timeline for an announcement.

What are people’s thoughts on Rob Godfreys tenure leading the BSPL ? is he the right person to lead the sport out of its current top flight mess and if not who would you like to see as a replacement ? my personal opinion is we need a change and my shortlist would be Phil Morris Matt ford or Peter facenna.

He wouldn’t be as brennans average is higher
