  1. They should get the big holes in the track sorted out first
  2. Wouldn't they need to use the infield for recovery etc. unlikely
  3. While I agree with the general sentiment of what you're saying, GP's are no longer held in Stockholm and Copenhagen, so I suggest rather than stagnation more recently there has been a regression add to this the continued on/off relationship with Aus/NZ
  4. I paid £19 last year, always do, fantastic value!
  5. Not only that but you also have to ask the question why Oxford Speedway closed in the first place
  6. I'll expect loads of matches to be called off on the basis of a forecast for rain that never appears or it being too cold then
  7. I'm not for one moment saying they should, but... how long before the twins can/will be binned off and replaced with more experienced reserves?
  8. Eurosport are running a Black Friday deal on Eurosport Player (for those that can't get Eurosport) 12 months for £19.99 https://promo-gb.eurosportplayer.com/promo/all-sports/black-friday-2019?utm_campaign=UK-EU-E1-EU-C1-G-BAU-DR-W-AllSports-Undefined-161213-Eurosportplayer-P-BMM-BrandCore-NA&utm_medium=cpc&utm_source=google&utm_content=Brand+|+Eurosport+Player+|+BMM&utm_term=%2Beurosport+%2Bplayer&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIxqezpM395QIVCrDtCh0YSAlfEAAYASAAEgLEVfD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds I don't know for sure but you may also be able to use a VPN to access their other European streams, I think they show EPL in Romania for example. Deal expires on the 2/12/19
  9. Maybe run a "masters series" as a 2nd half to bring some old punters back, all riding standard equipment supplied by the club?
  10. They'll just concentrate on the leader like they always do Speedway brought in a points system so complex I need to take my laptop with me to work out who's got how ever many points
  11. you forgot to mention "family sport"
  12. Let's not be too quick to write Scott off, especially at CL level. He captained the side to the Championship and finished top of the averages, he may not be as competitive as he used to be at the highest level but he is one of a handful of riders (in the CL) that have mastered BP and I would pay to watch. The place will be poorer without him.
  13. How about the winner of the GP is awarded (or deducted?) enough points by winning the race to place them 1 point above the 2nd placed rider in the meeting... I can't work out whether I'm joking or not
  14. Didn't Prince Albert () attend the first Cardiff GP with a view of holding one in Monaco? Obviously never happened. How about a GP on the Isle of Man during TT Week?
  15. Castanga says “The main thinking for us is to harmonise our championship scoring system with other big sports events so that the winner always comes away with the most points, which will help attract and retain a wider audience for our sport.” I can't think of any other World Championship series that has 2 semis and a final, although no doubt somebody will correct me. So if you want to harmonise with "other big sports" (and that's a whole different argument as to whether Speedway is a "big sport") then award the points after 20 heats... other wise leave well alone
  16. If it's anything like the relationship with the fans it won't last long
  17. Reading the OP, it's almost as if I've watched the show myself anyway
  18. I used to follow Leicester Speedway on Twitter... until they blocked me, turns out they didn't want to hear my opinions during one of the debacles that were run at BP this year. So perhaps that is buzzing? I'll never know. It's easier than ever before for somebody to interview somebody or take video using a mobile phone and upload it to a website... yet still nothing
  19. Come on the club are responsible for who they partner with. In fact I'm not particularly interested in who to blame... it just needs putting right
