Maybe not if they've got to accommodate 4 more teams?

I agree... and as a Leicester fan I'd be more than happy to see us in the CL... the PL has failed

There's certainly a bit of fiddling going on!

No one club is bigger than the sport, if they're prepared to go with 5 they may as well go with 4 as either are just as farcical and Louis will soon find out that his club is worth the total amount of 5h1t all... like others that have tried to sell.

The people running (ruining) our sport really are quite impressive

I'm sure 'Arry will be at the forthcoming Speedway Show, pretty sure, almost... probably

Sounds like you're confusing it with this years Budget 😂

The GP series is here to stay, it's an opportunity to showcase Speedway around 10 times a year instead of once. Also monster are not as on-board as they used to be, they tend to sponsor riders these days rather than events or the series itself.

Definitely bad business, they'd be running in direct competition to the other promotion.

I think this is already happening from what Phil Morris let slip earlier in the year.

I'm sorry but there's not one fact in your post... it's all opinion. The only way we'll find out of it turns out to be fact is for that radical change to actually happen... and I very much doubt anything radical is going to happen.

@Barrow Boy 2 ?

I don't see any adverts... do you use an ad blocker?

The difference is, you know what time it's going to start and finish, you know (unless there are freak circumstances) that it's going to be on when you get there and you know who the player are lining up for both teams.

They can't all go and ride in Poland, there's only so many team places available over there and unlike us they fill a lot of them with local talent. Does a rider sit on the sidelines hoping for a shot in a Polish team or do full racing programmes elsewhere?

I would like the match day programme to be available and be able to compile my programme during the meeting digitally That's going to effect matchday programme sales at tracks Most clubs now offer live streams, where this footage is covered. The streams bring in a much needed positive additional income arm for those clubs. That's aimed at folk not attending though, what about people standing around watching the tractors go around? Maybe a subscription model could be employed whereby you enter a code printed in the matchday programme that also gets you coverage of the stream, or something available on local wifi?

Maybe they could develop a forum that is administered and moderated efficiently 😂

Yes, it appears not thank goodness, just reacting to what was posted in the NL section

That's good to hear, he's been doing laps from a very young age and riders like that shouldn't be scratching around for sponsorship while clubs are spaffing out money on here today gone tomorrow foreigners.

Meanwhile... if true, there's riders in the PL on guarantees who don't care one jot about British Speedway. While Trigger and Perry may not have been the next Bartosz Zmarzlik they could well have been the next Simon Lambert's and without them the sport is dead.

In the NL section of this forum

... also, those kind of benefits should be being offered to British riders, with the reported retirement of 2 more young riders, Ben Trigger and Max Perry, who should be the life blood of the sport in this country instead of the foreign imports

Starting a new topic for the AGM as YouHave2Minutes seems to have had a nervous breakdown and changed their name and the titles of all of the topics they started.

Many team sports are regularly attended by fans who support their team even if they're mid table or at the lower end, not always on a Monday night with big question marks as to whether it'll actually be on or who will actually be in the teams though, of course you'll always get your glory hunters who'll only turn up to watch a winning team

You're such a tease 😂
