stratton Posted July 18, 2012 Report Share Posted July 18, 2012 Why is this meeting being held here? facilities can't be the reason why are these meetings not properly shared around.Woffinden has a massive advantage also did they not earlier in the season have the under 21 event.Wolves is a ok track, not one of the best in my opinion Peterborough, Swindon, Lynn, Sheffield, all better race tracks.It still seems to me that speedway still has that jobs for the boys aspect certain people getting advantages yet as a WHOLE the sport not working together will things ever change.?

Dave_minall Posted July 18, 2012 Report Share Posted July 18, 2012 (edited) I'm not sure on why it's held at wolverhampton, but bear in mind yes Tai has a big advantage but there are a number of riders there that love the track also. Danny King & Chris Harris come to mind - also Roynon rides there for Dudley. I think it's a quality lineup, can't wait for this one, even though it should have been held at say Birmingham for instance.

RIght Dave the line up is a excellent one, I am looking forward too it just felt the revenue should be shared around the tracks a bit more but as you say it would of been nice for Birmingham.

mdmc82 Posted July 18, 2012 Report Share Posted July 18, 2012 With almost half the line up being coventry riders or assets think it would be nice to be at coventry one year. They always use british riders Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Backless Posted July 18, 2012 Report Share Posted July 18, 2012 The money IS shared around, that's why its called a Shared Event. If Birmingham (or whoever) came up with more cash for the BSPA pot, the meeting would be held there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats fair enough if the revenue is shared around? but it still should be held at different venues not just B FInals each year also they have already had that under 21 meeting there early in the year.

LagutaRacingFan Posted July 18, 2012 Report Share Posted July 18, 2012 (edited) Nobody cares if Coventry produce Brits, They have a losers mentality. Peterborough produce high quality danes with a winning mentaility installed into them and this was proved in the world cup as Pedersen,Iversen and Jepsen Jensen have all had a winning mentality installed into them by Trevor Swales during there stints at Peterborough, It was no suprise that Mikkel B Jensen was denmark's lowest scorer and this was down to him not meeting Swales yet... Hopefully Swales gets involved with Team GB in some sort of way because I would like to see the likes of Harris and Bridger and Woffinden being given some sort of direction by Trevor and that can take them anywhere, There would be no limits on the possible outcomes. Fancy Lawson to win this one, He is a sharp gater and as long as he stays on the right line, He should score a max.

Backless Posted July 18, 2012 Report Share Posted July 18, 2012 I'm sure Richard will be delighted (& squirming just a little) to learn the (disturbing) news that you're right behind him. "Peterborough produce high quality Danes" Is that Peterbro, the hamlet just outside Copenhagen? I don't remember Bjerre (but then again, neither do you), Peredsen x2, Iversen, or even the current love of your life rocking up at the Showground & saying "so, what's this speedway mullarkey all about? can someone show me?" - and that's not just because I don't recall the Danish for mullarkey. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LagutaRacingFan Posted July 18, 2012 Report Share Posted July 18, 2012 (edited) Agree, The likes of Niels and MJJ were lost and questioning there passion for speedway before Trevor revitalised there passion and desire for the hard charging sport and If he didn't do that then 2 huge talents would of been lost.

I dont actually have to hand a set of accounts & if I had I wouldn't post them on here, but yes, the money is shared around. The whole reason the league events aren't held on neutral tracks (apart from the PL Fours, which traditionally wasn't a neutral track either) is to maximise the share out. Clubs are invited to tender for the meetings. Spreading them around for the sake of it would reduce the share out. "Dudley" was a good call, because, despite being the same stadium it's a different fan base to Wolves & the predominantly NL / PL field pulled a much bigger crowd than the U21 has at Lakeside in recent years.

I can understand why it is done this way,I think King,s Lynn showed other tracks can produce a great event.Saying that Lynn have always had an awesome track and produced brilliant wtcups in the 80s onwards.For me it would be a shame if the events kept going to the same tracks but money is everything. Thats why yesteryear was far superior different tracks sizes and variation nearly every track had at least 1 big event every season but if speedway needs to do this to survive I understand that.
