If that's the case then I agree with Ipswich here. Rider costs/demands are helping British Speedway to go down the plughole.

Which raises the expectation that all the races are like that and when they go and find out they're not, will they return? Agree with other points.

All those things are great and may have got a lot of people through the door but when they attend and stand out in the cold/wind being 'entertained' by someone on a mic talking drivel or just music for what seems like an eternity balanced against the 15 minutes of actual races, of which two were interesting then most won't come back. It's the entertainment at the track on the night which has to improve - and I don't mean just more races. More interaction, more involvement of fans in the night, interactive social media, rider interaction, play areas/side shows and many other ideas that people have mentioned before.

Landlords will want the same money for the year, so less meetings means the rent for each one will be higher. Fanbase will be smaller because people will get out of the habit of going if they're less frequent. Can't make one as you're on holiday and the next one is not for a month it's easy to think oh well I won't bother as you've probably found an alternative routine/thing to do.

No. Fanbase would get smaller, rents would increase and stadium owners even more likely to kick-out speedway tenants.

Agreed, he found his level a few years ago, hasn't got the technical style to improve much, said this when he was at Ipswich.

Although he was over-sliding out of the bends, being a bit of road block for two behind him in one race off bend 2. He will undoubtedly improve this as time moves on, certainly has the right attitude. Also thought this was quite a good meeting, Ace P impressed me with his racing brain when ahead/passing/trying to and what a great rider from Trigger when re-passing and holding off Rushen. Only a few of them looked out of their depth.

No.

And it was as pointless as it can be given the guaranteed result -can't understand why people would bother watching.

Who will notify them of the typo? (their final position statement was issued on 26th October 2025🤣)

So there's a council meeting to discuss the 850 houses application on 21st October, by the planning and environmental protection committee, to which people are allowed to attend. Is this an important one for objectors? It said they'll summarise mine and other objections.

Agreed. Speedway is quiet compared to the stocks, which also go on for hours,not 15 minutes and both less noisy than the football😃

I've also asked Polish people that I've encountered either here or on holiday and whilst a small sample, the five people I've asked have also not heard of it.😒

Your view does not agree with the FIM. The world champs has never been about the best riders & is no different to athletics in that regard. They are interested in growing the business and selling the events.

I agree regarding interpretation. I've always been concerned with the lack of any physical kerb at King's Lynn - I remember being on the centre when racing was taking place and feeling distinctly vulnerable to a bike ploughing into me off the second bend at full pelt. I'm surprised no-one has ever raised that as a H&S issue!
