I know people are annoyed, but I can't think that riders wouldn't want to ride, especially after having travelled that far, without good reason. It seems that the slightest bit of rain puts a meeting at risk these days... there must be a reason for that
Janowski wasn't the best when he rode in this country, only come on since he stopped riding here... was pretty good racing last night though. Maybe it was telling that the special one said he was at the track early doors on Saturday morning. I thought last week was pretty rubbish until the interval
Must say that there were some dubious tactics tonight, why would you put your U21 rider in against anybody other than Australia? And what were the MF Ruskies doing replacing Borodullin, who was clearly their best rider.
You only have to look at the crowds in the early days of the televised Sky matches... was like a party atmosphere
and the start marshal... totally impartial
Yet Belle Vue can fit a Peter Craven Memorial in and Mildenhall can fit a Mildenhall vs Fen Tiger Select.
Perhaps the IOW should put these meetings on...
Gaz, fair play to you, but maybe you're flogging a dead horse in the current climate. On a positive note there are many clubs that have taken time out (for whatever reason) and come back successfully, my own team Leicester to name one. It doesn't help you get your Speedway fix in the short term though I'll agree
Maybe it'd be better to put the money in some kind of trust fund whereby it could be used at some point in the future to resurrect the club if a suitable piece of land could be found to build a track on, hopefully in a better economic climate (globally/nationally and in Speedway)
