If every track was like Perry Barr, Speedway would have been finished in the UK years ago, you can sign almost any rider you care to mention if they can't race then what's the point ? the track has been a constant issue for years.

It was a poor decision to choose Hagon over Edwards and whoever made that decision should not really be doing the job, if it's Chris Adams then he does not have enough experience to be Team Manager and this decision proves it, if its Laurence Rogers then we all know Laurence has many good traits but being Team Manager is not one of them, and if it's Nigel Tolley that made the decision then he is getting what he deserves. I think Jason Edwards had a point to prove tonight and boy did he make the Birmingham management look silly 12+1 from 5 rides well done Jason, this was compounded by young Sam really struggling by failing to score in his four rides.

But what if the rider had a choice of Birmingham or Ipswich, who would you choose ?.

Greyhound racing does not need spectators to be sustainable, in fact it costs less to run without spectators as there is no need for lighting, heating nor support staff, the bulk of income for Greyhound Stadia comes from live streaming around the World to gambling outlets be it online or in shops.

The Cradley thingy which i have removed, but with regards Vacher he is no more than a Jobsworth.

Not relevant to the topic.

Yes it's long overdue, yes the riders are going to cry that can't make it pay, yes the tuners are going to cry, yes the standard will drop but in the long term this will be the only way Speedway will survive in the Uk because it has been unviable for many seasons now, semi pro riders is the way forward, perhaps the only way.

Unless Mr Tolley has changed his mind you will find you are wrong on this one Deanno.

If any Government department is involved they won't be in any rush, I can see Workington's results being expunged, meanwhile what happens with the riders ? they still have bills to pay, this cannot be allowed to go on for much longer.

With Birmingham operating RR for Rew who is riding in Poland I cannot see the Brummies getting within 20 points of Sheffield.

Good ride there from young Luke.

Well so far it's the usual follow the leader, almost like the track has an opposite camber, move off the line and go backwards.

They won't have anywhere to ride soon.

If it is indeed linked to HMRC and UKVI then i cannot see a speedy resolution to this.
