Must admit the atmosphere did seem very flat for a GP or thats at least how it came across on tv. Found it really difficult to get into the meeting to be honest and I've seen much better meetings at Belle Vue than that. Hopefully tonight will be better.
Absolutely nothing wrong with it as long as it doesn't get out of hand. Nobody got hurt and a couple of competitive riders let off a bit of steam.
Interesting that the the official social media pages have started posting scraps between riders...perhaps the penny has dropped
I may be wrong here, but the fences we have on British tracks maybe are a few years old now and perhaps have become more brittle with age.
Worth remembering as well the bikes now are much faster than they were when air fences came in.
For me, he is exactly what British Speedway needs - but it needs the attitude of the existing promoters to change. Sadly, I've seen little to suggest that British Speedway is nothing but perfectly content with its current amateurish and low-key social setup for them and their mates.
This needs some clarification by the BSPL and SCB urgently, as opposed to the usual "ignore it and it'll go away" policy.
If riders are riding without proper insurance, then its a massive red flag for both promoters and riders
GoFundMe requests often seem to be the first thing promoters do when they hit problems, albeit its not unknown for supporters to set them up to help the clubs. Can see both sides of the argument to be fair
Good luck with that. Normal protocol with forward-thinking new promoters is for the existing, small-minded ones to close ranks until they tire of talking to a brick wall and walk away.
