  1. Quite surprised bsb got 30,000 back in the early 00's but maybe more people have sky sports now
  2. Out of interest does anyone know how many people watch speedway on sky sports per show for a league meeting (not talking play off)
  3. Put it this way, its a team, the club are running, changes may happen, and its something to build on into 2018.... look towards the long term if possible in speedway
  4. My old man is still available for a ride if needed lol hoping to make the trip to a Leicester meeting this coming season My old man is still available for a ride if needed lol hoping to make the trip to a Leicester meeting this coming season
  5. Whats the nearest train station to Rye? Will have to come to a meeting
  6. 1. Doyle 2. Wilson Dean 3. Holder 4. Bates 5. Schlein 6. Morris A Is there anything left for a 7th rider? Its way over
  7. What if a group of promoters joined together to create a british lions team or similar and entered the polish league but home meetings took place at different tracks in the UK?
  8. 1. Lambert 2. Michelsen 3. Nilsson 4. Nicholls 5. Kennett 6. Garrity 7. Wilson Dean Whats left over? 1. Lambert 2. Michelsen 3. Nilsson 4. Nicholls 5. Kennett 6. Garrity 7. Wilson Dean Whats left over?
  9. Probably end up with Nicholls Sarjeant Schlein Kurtz Covatti Jacobs Hume If that fits....
  10. This is why a Northern and Southern split with 6 rider teams built to a 38 point limit would have been perfect thats 120 riders which would have included all current EL riders even the GP ones if they wanted to stay up while promoting the top end of the national league, there were enough riders to make this happen with zero doubling up. Yeah guests would still be required but you could limit the number of appearances and only get guests from the opposite region so fans don't see the same riders recycled. Speedway have once again papered over the cracks
  11. BSPA should have split 20 clubs into a North and South premiership if you will with a league sponsor, 13 heat format 6 rider teams. A two year plan for each club to have a junior team consisting of 4 riders teams racing the same night BEFORE the main meeting in a 6 heat format so 3 rides each with a 7 round individual championship split between North, East, South and West with the top 4 progressing to the grand final with lots of development/training days with ex and current riders. After this period the leagues expand to 16 teams each to get the NL teams in Add a league and ko cup British championship to be a 3/4 round series maybe sponsored by someone like Vanarama who put £50k in as an overall prize fund with a brand new Van to the champ maybe get in association with a van manufacture etc
  12. The biggest issues and important steps needed to grow the sport have once again been papered over, I like the rebranding but a sh!t can still be called a poo, a turd or a skid but be the same thing!
  13. Doubling up will kill speedway if someone rides both leagues how many meetings is that per week on average?
  14. North & South League with 6 rider teams 20 clubs with national cup and regional cup competition is the only way forward. Then work on converting all the promising motocrossers and grasstrack juniors into speedway
  15. Sometimes the fans are whats wrong about speedway....
  16. Speedway need to develope a UFC fight pass deal for speedway fans, I'd restructure speedway meaning the sky deal is dead and open for renegotiation. You could for example have the play offs and league matches on sky, league matches streamed online selected meetings of course. BT sport, itv4 or even Dave may take other competitions if created by british speedway
  17. Jacobs Rose Clegg Carr Bewley Morris Wilson Dean Banford No.7 riders are the only EDR who get 4 rides with team mates at 2,4,3, & 6
  18. 38 point limit would be IDEAL if it was for 6 rider teams in a 13 heat format maximum ticket prices £12 with two regionalised leagues North and South
  19. Not a team I want but a team I'd be disappointed with lol
  20. Weaker than what we have? 1. Danny King 2. Stefan Nielsen 3. Ryan Douglas 4. Josh Bates 5. Nico Covatti 6. Ashley Morris 7. Danyon Hume
