Speedway needs far more special offers on discounted admission to tempt newbies to give the sport a try. The cost in taking a family is prohibitive for most people. Until the promoters grasp this, speedway will continue to decline.

God knows what state the sport will be in when that time comes around. I'd really like to know what the admission price will be for this watered down league.

I hope I'm wrong for all brummies fans sake.

Staying put!!!

If kent do ride on the same night as Eastbourne, next season could see me drastically reduce the amount of meetings i attend at Central Park.

Considering the lowering of standards, Brum like Eastie, have little choice but to move up. Kent should be going with them. All three clubs have outgrown the NL.

No suprise really.

With the standard dropping, the admission price should also drop to reflect this. Otherwise, my fear is, a lot of fans will vote with their feet. The likes of Eastbourne had no choice, but to move up.

I see the doors been left open for latecomers to join the NL.

Len probably made a packet hiring it out to the punters attending the London Olympics, perhaps he gave Thames Water a cut!

That's your fault mike, for being 7 foot tall!

The geographics of moving up are the only minus as far as I'm concerned. No local derbies are going to be a killer.

Hard to argue with that!

The only safety concern for the riders is the poor lighting on parts of the track.

It's debatable that Rye House Stadium is fit to stage public events. Maybe the health and safety inspectors have made a visit. Negotiating the car park is treacherous enough, and that's before you enter the stadium.

One 'official' from an away track told me they were refusing to honour BSPA passes. Things like that don't go down well at the old Boys club.

Ben Morley might have been a better shot. He is excellent at Arlington.

Why have the BSPA not used the bond money to settle up with the riders.

BMR ruffled far too many feathers for there to be a compromise.

Eastbourne are not a promotion that likes to run too many meetings. I'd be amazed if they ran two teams.

Both the Rye House and Lakeside promotions suffered considerable losses running there last season. I don't see a queue of prospective promoters wanting to run at Rye. NL racing might be worth a punt for someone with deep pockets.

Look at somersets recently signed heat leader trio. How can any NL club compete with that.

I never take the sport too seriously. Not having a team to support anymore probably helps!

Who can blame them for having second thoughts. A big increase in costs and no guarantees of a sufficient increase in numbers through the turnstiles.

If they were thinking of using Odsal, I'd be suprised if anyone had the resources.
