speedway, nuff said

Dan Gilkes is a lad that seems to have his head screwed on right too, looks after his supporters and sponsors and willing to take advice

Peterborough Northern Star Ladies v March Town Utd Ladies today in the FA Cup, really good crowd there too

not a good GP, but the riders that are letting the pressure get them are at fault, not the track, they have the clutch. i'm still in the camp that thinks as long as you don't touch the tapes then you don't get penalised

wonder what the odds are for Crump to be at and win Cardiff 2021

heard talk of some riders spraying their air filters with something just a couple of years ago, allegedly helped them at the start if they didn't do a practice start on the way to tapes .. just a rumour though

i also rate his longtrack win in '81, incredible style for that size track (as mentioned by Dave Lanning in commentary), up against a good lineup but with a fast DOHC Jawa too

top rider and top bloke

no speedway but photographed 4 ladies football matches, couple of hundred spectators at one of them, and around 80 at the others with no noticable distancing, couple of restaurants, Brands Hatch, Snetterton, both no noticable distancing, couple of photoshoots, trips to London .. no problems at any

watch it on the SGP website live link, no studio or adverts

the only way i can see speedway going forward is 100% curtail where the big money (in UK terms, not Poland) goes. run it as a stable business first, not win at all costs, let the sport grow without wondering if teams will run each season, it's the only way i can see will work. BUT, everyone wants success and to win (at least at home), and some will be able to do that more than others, but if things are run strictly to budget it will give others a chance to catch up

but the other side of it is what if a stadium is not open and not able to give availability?

certainly doesn't seem to be any from certain politicians that like to play the race card at every opportunity

pride in the product is what seems to be seriously lacking across the leagues

unfortunately, i don't think it's as cut and dried as you make out

actually, i think i need to adjust this a bit .. will the OTHER PROMOTERS allow a track to maybe run some bumper meetings and cream off more than others?

not a bad idea, but will the SCB allow a track to maybe run some bumper meetings and cream off more than others?

the only way i can see the sport in this country surviving. it's time to mix new ideas with things that worked in the past, look at successes and failures over the years and cherrypick what worked. it's also blatantly obvious that the crowd levels here and the lack of mainstream sponsors can't support the rider demands, the time is now right to start from the bottom and work upwards from there.

the 500 chairs are good to watch too, Mitch Godden among others would probably jump at the chance to have regular racing.

unfortunately, i have to agree with this

the BIGGEST problem speedway has, it needs cooperation and unity from ALL promoters, and there's why nothing gets done

i'm certainly not a fan of bangers, but look at the crowds they get, what are they doing right that speedway isn't??

people that run the speedway should always be looking at other sports and see what it is that attracts supporters. why do bangers get 3 - 4000+ for a meeting and people walk away at the end having had a good night for example? the time now is right to have a complete rethink over how the sport in this country is run and presented, tried and tested is obviously not working but that's the fall-back every single season.

fills Kings Lynn, CONSIDERABLY more than speedway

maybe it's time to make speedway an amateur sport
