come on RP, you can't see the wood for the trees, open your eyes and see what's happening at Poole without being blind to it all ....................................................................
everyone seems to think all the money will be going to the 'top' riders, but you have to remember in these days of the lower team average it's a lot of high scoring reserves that will be commanding a massive chunk of cash .. maybe not in points if they are capped, but in all the extras that are possible to get
all these countries that are getting involved and the supporters actually seeing the world champion crowned .. something us in the UK won't see unless we can afford to travel
personally I don't mind individual meetings .. all I get the hump with is having semi finals and final, I still like the 20 heat formula where the top scorer wins that way it's not all down to having the best gate in a final
but the general concensus is that supporters won't go to individual meetings, and that's 3 that have been mentioned, 50th Anniversary, Ashley Jones, Pride of the East, so the management are on a loser whatever
ahh ok, I know a bike was started and ridden back
