i get the feeling 2018 could be a make or break year for a few

i must be in a minority but IF he could make the fixtures I'd have Jack Holder back no problem - plenty of points and a great style for the showground

agree about Kevin

or arsed

nah, the riders closest to 7.99 will be asking for the earth

so everyone on here saying big decisions need to be made, yet you make light of that and expect everything within a few hours .. maybe you should call Matt to ask him what's taking so long

I'd be happy with Belle Vue - speedway is about seeing good racing and that's where's best in this country, with Peterborough right up there too

so for example their money is paid to Kings Lynn yet the promoter at Rye House is denied anything from visiting fans??!!

there's always a mid-season break, why not have the AGM then instead of waiting? few months of the season gone, can see what works and what doesn't, and try to force commitment for the following year so everyone can move forward straight away

this, in my opinion, was a big part of the issues of 2017 .. some saying rip the track, then others can't/won't ride it

haven't seen Lewi's twitter, but if it's Adrian Flux you're talking about, they sponsored Lewi this season but he wasn't at KL

as much as i like Pedersen & Holder, i think it's time they actually went through the qualifiers to prove themselves, Pedersen after injury, Holder after form drop. Having to ride qualifiers will possibly push them to turn things around which would be good for not only them, but us the spectators. Both are 100% capable but need to be out of the comfort zone

80s was far worse for that in the UK

but you have a massive divide within the sport, and all the time there are conflicts at the top there's no moving forward

a bit of non-league football for a darn sight less than either!! proper football without all the diving and cheating and ridiculous pay packets to the people that don't give a monkeys about the club they play for. i grew up watching NL & BL speedway, and i really enjoyed the NL which, at that time, was for British and Commonwealth riders only. the racing was excellent with plenty of continuity in the teams, local riders, local sponsors, and a great atmosphere. with the point above, why would we be worse off making our way back to that sort of thing? supporters will know who their team is, and i believe the double up/down issue and the cost are the main ingredients for keeping people away

obviously depending on the advice received

Holder was going to go whatever, so why not try to make the most of it, and there was no way Poole would have let him get a 28 day ban at that point of the season

don't you think the sport here is in enough 5hit without trying to encourage most of them back!!! unbelievable

and if it's the other way then it's probably goodbye Peterborough speedway but never mind we are inundated with tracks

prior to double up/down being allowed many riders had jobs too, but since they had the chance to ride for more than one club and get more than one wage it all changed

i think that sums up the situation in a way .. look at the average age of speedway supporters now

especially as the season is officially until October 31st, unless it's changed since i signed a speedway contract

team managers should be a big part of the team, and i still think they should be able to change the lineup to suit, exactly how they used to for different tracks or teams. having fixed gate positions, fixed riding order etc, all takes away from a managers job
