I used to stream my MMA promotion we done them free worldwide but had to bare the costs of the stream which isnt cheap in itself. A streaming service should be run by the BSPA for X amount of meetings per month for a one-off monthly fee with the profit going into marketing the sport £6.99 a month marketed at ALL fans would work better than individual clubs bareing these costs

Think fans really need to "give" a little over normal regulations for this season with the current restrictions that are in place, the usual rules will most likely "give" just to get meetings on in most cases, it may get worse as we progress as well, so for one season R/R and guests for many reasons will happen, sounds like a normal season anyway so not sure what all the fuss is about, each to their own for why they go to Speedway, I go to see some close racing and hope one or two score well, i'm not overly fussed about the result so won't pick apart any rule type to give either side an advantage or disadvantage. The alternative could be no speedway? I know which I would prefer

I'm sure you'll be able to remove a mask to smoke in a designated area Recently at work in front of someone being interviewed for a job, I lit a posh smelly candle using a match, I then attempted to blow the match out forgetting I was wearing my mask... After several burnt fingers the interviewee decided he was too intelligent to work with me

Well it should be £15 or £20 most press releases are asking fans to bring correct change, so might as well round it up or down £19 means handling change, it's a no from me

Maybe the club have miscommunicated the wearing of masks As for the £19.... may of just as well made it £20

streaming only adds to the cost of running a meeting, would be a financial disaster for most if not all promotors

Crump 3rd in the Brisbane masters Jordan Stewart looked quick

Yes mate

laugh at this comment Lewy if you're hung like a gnat

what averages do they come in on?

Probably not a popular thing to say but I think the NDL needs to be scrapped completely now, the UK should run with just the Premiership and Championship as a professional and semi-professional league structure. The aim should be for a 10 team Premiership within the next 2 seasons and if you take Swindon/Somerset coming back then it would create a 12 team Championship if Mildenhall and IOW go up into a Championship. Othe Future stars list there are 55 riders with some names missing! thats at least 4 riders per team so you could have 4 of these riders in the Championship running at no.2/4/6/7 with 3 more experienced riders as heat leaders, would be better progression for riders than being thrown in the premiership at no.7 from the off You could then look to have a development racing programme consisting of 4 riders per team and encourage as many clubs to participate as possible and have a mixture of 125/250/500 junior racing on either as a 2nd half event or if say doors open at 6.30pm for a 7.45 start have them doing their programme before the meeting starts. say a 6 heat format where each rider gets 3 programmed rides track experience only no points, any that are good enough come into the rising star programme when ready as a 1* rider

Gino Manzares & Alfie Bowtell I would imagine

Jake Allen competing in the Brisbane masters championships at around 3am UK time tomorrow There is a stream link available for $17 and you can watch it at anytime up to a week after the event.

I may have read the SpeedwayGB website incorrectly so they are either 24 or have less than 3 years racing in the Championship & Premiership so not sure how old Bates is, if Bacon is 28 he's given grace for not having ridden in the top two leagues for 3 seasons? The rising star criteria can also be explained in full.Rising Stars riders are 24 as of the 1st January of the current year or have less than three years professional league experience to also allow other motorbike sport crossovers ie: motocross, grasstrack etc, have an average under a Premiership League CMA (Calculated Match Average) of 5.50, or under a Championship League CMA of 6.50.Riders whose average is above a Premiership League CMA of 3.00 and a Championship League CMA of 3.50 are classified as a 4-star rider.Riders whose average is below a Championship League CMA of 3.50 and above 3.00 are classified as 3-star rider.Riders whose average is assessed or has a minimum Championship League CMA of 2.00 and below 3.00 are classified as a 2-star rider.Riders who have not competed in any professional league are classified as a 1-star rider.

riders have to be U24 as of 1st January and have less than 3 years "pro" league experience which is why there are riders who are rated 1* who have no average in the PL or CL apparantly the age limit of 24 allows for cross-overs from other disciplines

I like something like this However it is open to manipulation as you cant trust the promoters who regulate their own sport would only work with a separate governing body running the sport If your no.1 doesnt ride Foxhall well he can just pull out with a mystery illness and then your next two heat leaders who might ride Foxhall well get 7 rides

The better system would have been taking into consideration there are 12 Championship teams Grade C/D (1 & 2 star) - British Riders Only A list of riders who Championship clubs must select to ride at no.6 & no.7 with C grade at no.6 and D grade at no.7 Grade A/B (3 & 4 star) - Commonwealth Riders Only A list of riders who Championship clubs must select to ride in the main body of the team starting at No. 2 & No.4 Each club picks 1 x Grade A/B/C/D all set points money Clubs then have a team building limit for the remaining "heat leader" spots, Grade A & B can include Aussies that qualify to race over here with the 3 heat leaders its just an upgraded National League Based on 2021 season results riders can fluctuate between Grading if someone struggles as a 3 star rider they can drop to 2 star etc. But this is just me who think its just should be a Two League structure

Rowe replaced with Greaves or Shanes Kennett for someone else

Without seeing the averages I'll take an uneducated punt at 1. Crump 2. Heeps 3. Lawson 4. Kennett 5. King 6. Rowe 7. Kemp How much over is that?

I think an APP is a fantastic idea especially if going into schools etc. more chance of kids downloading stuff

say what you like about whoever is under what grading system but there are 58 riders that that clubs need to support as they are the future of British Speedway, enough riders there to fill over 8 complete sides.

Bewley and Kurtz both out of British Speedway

Is the individual series a GP version of the British Championship or just for the top 15 average riders who compete in the league with a track specialist wild card?

Kings Lynn Town charge around this and they are not even in the Conference League, Not really sure a comparison based on crowd figures is the right path, if thats the case than my amateur MMA promotion once was on par with most levels of Speedway where my attendances were 1,003 for around 3-4 years, if you want to use the Conference as a comparison then you should be seeing future or current international players playing in the Conference which you don't , okay British Speedway has lost Doyle but it still has riders who ride for their national teams competing and U21 and U19 championship riders, you don't get that in the conference I think (not the majority of fans) but some are a big issue in the fundamental problem with the sport in this country and should share the blame alongside the BSPA etc.

The sport certainly sounds doomed Some people willing to pay £20 to support the sport, some believing there should be a discounted entry for a watered down product, some not interested in regularly attending and some not wanting to attend at all. It's easy to comment here bemoaning club closures but then not supporting the sport means it will be lost for future generations. £20 for me is a decent price if it includes programme, you can take your own food and drinks to save money, some sports don't let you take your own in With speedway I think you cant look at it domestically just as a British League, in terms of domestic racing we are league one standard, with Sweden being championship and poland being premier league, you pay £18-£30 to watch League one football, and that certainly doesn't have the best players If British Speedway had all the stars and grew the sport from the Sky Sports deal realistically you should have been paying £40/50 a meeting but the promoters were offering a pricing structure that would not be sustainable without major TV and Spinsorship deals, but I presume some people probably thought £20 was too much to watch the superstars of Speedway The sport and its fans in this country share one common trait, everyone is stuck in the past! £20 is value for money for a 3rd rate sport but it does depend on what else you do if witches fans for example go regularly to Town games also then I can see that they may not have much disposable income left If they cant have fans in this season I've heard there may be streaming at £15 or something and I see replies saying they'd only pay £5 lol what about the streaming costs? Everyone has their part to play, the fans in 2021 & 2022 will make or break the sport in this country
