PersonalResponsibility

Have you not just proved their point to some extent? If clubs are spending beyond their means to sign better riders, and presumably winning sides, but still not making a profit, then maybe not as many people are "entertained" by success as you think. Ultimately, 2 or maybe 3 teams will get any success in a given season, from 15(?) clubs. If success is what keeps people coming back then the majority will struggle. I'm not actually even sure great racing (or lack of it) is the real issue. I'm sure most people would rather have it than not, but for me it's the lack of competitiveness or meaning to most matches. When you look at Ekstraliga 2 in Poland, they're all aiming and building for promotion, to get more fans/tickets sold/TV money, etc. It means something. It's like the Championship in football. Where is anything like that in British speedway? It doesn't really matter if you finish top or bottom of the Championship, nobody will remember in 3 months anyway, you can just start again next season.

Who needs fans eh?!

Agreed. I wonder if they could squeeze Brady Kurtz in instead? Maybe Zmarzlik would do a fortnight?

I think this is Kurtz's year. Another home track next too. Zmarzlik always finds a way usually, but even when he did in that final, Kurtz had an answer. What a title race it's going to be.

Fricke - £200 LESS Thomsen - £200 LESS Doyle - £200 MORE Lambert - £200 MORE Cheers.

Good trick to have it would appear.

Right decision but why the cheers? Odd behaviour.

They need to sort the outside line out again. Imagine MJJ winning a GP here by crawling around the kerb?

Shame it had to end that way. Woryna is great to watch but that was beyond his capabilities.

Zmarzlik is like when you get too good at a game so just start messing around for the challenge.

Anyone know the full draw? Speedway GP still haven't updated the results of the Sprint Race, never mind anything else...

Kurtz - £500 MORE Fricke - £300 MORE Holder - £100 MORE Brennan - £100 MORE MJJ - £100 LESS Lambert - £150 LESS

Luke Becker Kim Nilsson Rohan Tungate Keynan Rew Dominik Kubera Robert Lambert Jaimon Lidsey Andzejs Lebedevs Kacper Woryna Michael Jepsen Jensen ?Jack Holder ?Maciej Janowski ?Kai Huckenbeck ?Piotr Pawlicki ?Frederik Jakobsen Let's see how tonight goes. I don't think there's going to be (m)any surprise GP riders next season at this rate. Probably 4 from Holder, Lambert, Woryna, MJJ, Lebedevs and Kubera.

I think he's a classic case of just doing enough. Look at last night, none of the other finalists managed double figures in Landshut, but he just keeps getting to the final. I'd love to see him be truly tested but I don't think he will be this season.
