Can I interest anybody in a League sponsorship package? You'll get your company noticed by all the earthworms and grasshoppers in Leicester...

You don't like talking about money do you... if IoW were doing as well as they said they were a ferry price increase should have been coverable, I suspect it's more to do with crowd levels outside of the holiday season.

Please elaborate

Okay, if that's what you want to believe...

Ended up on his arse in the first one... just like the mascot before the meeting 😂

And attack Bomber! How Bomber stayed on there I do not know he gave him a right old clout 😂

The ferry thing sounds like a bit of a red herring to me, more likely just waiting for the holiday season to start and their captive audience to arrive, and who can blame them... just as the rest of British Speedway goes on its mid season break. 7 meetings does not a Speedway season make.

IoW is a better analogy... and look how that went 👎🏻

#PrayForNorick 🙏 #NorickStrong 💪

Good to see TNT showing this on a main stream channel after not showing SGP3

They may as well have put Terry Betts, Michael Lee, Ian Turner etc. etc. It was either incompetence or just laziness to not state there were major doubts about 3 of the KL riders

I think young Mr Cairns is going to be a bit of a divisive character in Speedway, he's had the money thrown at him (kit & Hancock and all that) but has served his apprenticeship on the 250's and NDL, he seems a cocky/confident (take your pick) character, a bit in the Woffy mold without the effing and jeffing... did he have a little dig at Boughen? Or was it just a poor choice of words? At the moment he's backing his confidence up with performances (Audi estate in Poland excused).

Thursday is not "our night" though... that's when Mr Morris has to step in and try and negotiate

For first timers and noobs... you can't fail to be entertained (at a normally run meeting) just for the spectacle of 4 riders blasting around on 500cc bikes with no brakes. It's only when you've been to a few and that initial awe has worn off that you suss out that this really ain't very good at all... but if you stick at it you'll see a belter of a meeting, or a consistently winning team, that might keep you coming back for more. Define young fans... most "young fans" I've seen at Speedway couldn't really care less what's going on out on the track, they're normally just running around in circles causing a nuisance to everybody, but who cares the parents can come along and the kids only cost a quid. By the time the older "young fans" have developed an actual interest in the sport they are fast approaching a 2000% price increase and when they hit that they are lost to the sport for the next 20/30 years or so while they're out chasing boys/girls and drinking themselves into a stupor and maybe getting into other more mainstream sports.

You have to wonder what the value (point) is in declaring your team 72 hours before the meeting if there is then no sanction for then changing that line-up with no further Speedway injuries incurred in that time... I assume it's just for Programme printing purposes, not a great look though
