Been very busy over the last few days, if the promoters can’t see what’s coming they must be very blinkered. oh the next club to go.....we all know that one.

It’s only football not real sport.

The realisation that fans will only put up with so much.

Because it is inevitable .......falling crowds over the last 5-10 years at least , anyway it’s not the promoters fault it’s the fans fault for not flocking to the stadiums.

Lakeside v Glasgow postponed because of England’s World Cup match.

Sad day for Rye House and their fans, does not bode well for next season and this season also. As others have said just the tip of the iceberg regarding club closures. I did say when Belle Vue got the go ahead to run at the new stadium .....What will the new league look like.

So it feels like the 2018 season is just about to start when the Comets are up against the Berwick Bandits for this Friday evening clash that starts at 7:30pm. As far as I am aware the Comets will be at full strength, not sure about the Berwick line up. A league campaign that will be squeezed into about two months, unless we qualify in the top four.

I’ll be watching the GP after watching these two teams of prima donnas

N2 is middle tier I believe.

Our seats are in N2 , have never sat there before, is it ok?

He is Japanese!!

Well done Tai, great to see Nicki among the points again, some good races near the end.

All very well, but for how long, unless you have a multi million pound business to prop up Speedway its financial suicide.

Is that a fact or your opinion?

The problems are far more than FRN for Speedway in general , the disjointed fixture list, run down stadiums and poor promotion of the sport are just a-few. the attendances at Workington have been very poor for many years but we manage to somehow get to another season......2019 not a hope I fear.

Very true , many tracks seem to be well down on attendances, not helped by race nights and disjointed fixture list

All very well having free entry for the first meeting of the season but if the product is not right why would they come back as that is why they stopped going in the first place.

Should be another close meeting against the Glasgow Tigers on Saturday night ( seems like it’s us and Glasgow in the League!) Dan Bewley misses this one because he riding on the continent , so it’s rider replacement for him which should be enough to see us take most of the points with the tigers maybe getting 1? Going to miss this one has I’m away so it will be July for my next home meeting!

Just seen this news, RIP Kelvin.

How ironic two clubs that have spent big money but both are having poor attendances recently .......Belle vue and Glasgow

Best wishes Ulrich hope you are ok.

All sponsors are vital to promotions and more even more to riders wether it’s a few quid or many thousands.

Got mine last Tuesday bought via seetickets.

Good meeting at Glasgow , well done Worky for keeping it close all the lads tried their best. Finally got back into Glasgow after confusion over buses ( replacement) and finished the night off with a few pints in the Drum and Monkey....oh and one or two night caps in the hotel!! Most friendly and generous fans at Glasgow Speedway.
