Too sunny must be a possability.

After tomorrows cancellation, Rye will have three home fixtures to rearrange. Swindon twice and Leicester. Three more big financial losses on Wednesday evenings. Midweek speedway is not sustainable at hoddesdon.

Meeting still on according to BSPA website. Maybe someone should tell the powers that be.

Fingers crossed that rye are not the first victims of the fixed race nights era.

Kent get excellent crowds for NL racing, especially when you take into account the race night and start time.

We were one rerun away from a declared result last night, is that acceptable to you. With such a tight schedule to running meetings at central park, completing the main event is essential to keep the paying punters happy. Is that clear enough for you.

Crowds are down everywhere I go. How low do they fall before tracks start closing. That is the big question.

When the price of speedway went up to over a pound a race, The writing was on the wall.

A very tight meeting last night which was always going to be decided in heats 13 & 15, when Kent usually come to the party. The presentation has certainly slipped at central park this season, first race dead on 6.30 seems to be a thing of the past. With the dreaded curfew always looming, The management need to up their game.

I remember the no.8's and the track spare, but I won't talk about her!

A bargain for those attending!

Surely the people that still go should also have a voice. It might stop a few of them knocking it on the head.

Indeed i do. It was bad enough walking on it, let alone riding on it!

Wimbledon was a bit rough in the CL era Deano, but it was as smooth as silk up until 1991!

Have the promoters ever tried doing some market research. They would be afraid of the answers if they did. A simple questionnaire is all that is needed. Handed out at the turnstiles as you gain admission. It's not rocket science is it.

The promoters won't do anything to promote if it costs them money.

Must be the first dead heat in years, I thought speedway had done away with them. The last one I saw was at somerset over a decade ago!

The British public just don't want to go to speedway anymore, it's as simple as that. There is nothing the promoters can do to stop the trend. Most clubs must be hanging on by their fingertips. At lakeside last night, yet another poor crowd turned up to watch an excellent hammers side, probably the best they have had in a few years. On a sunny Saturday evening, The fans still won't go.

The way the sport is going, there won't be a next season for some tracks.

Poor meeting tonight, raced in front of a poor crowd. Every track I go to seems to be suffering from falling attendances. The british public look to have deserted the sport.

It's a shame this clashes with Eastie v mildenhall tonight. I would like to have done both meetings.

I'm not defending stoke in any way, but quite a few tracks have struggled to get decent shale this season. Poole, Somerset & The IOW are three that spring to mind.

We can dream, can't we?

Eastbourne, Kent & Rye house should all be in the championship for different reasons. What great local derbies we would have, if they were.

Should have snapped up Bowtell before he moved to the island. What about George Hunter, or has he retired.
