Countershaftcounter Posted May 12, 2016 Report Share Posted May 12, 2016 (edited) Surely now is the time for "speedways leading magazine" to ask the difficult questions ? Instead of being a mouthpiece for the clubs and just re-hashing their press releases, it should be asking each and every promotor why this is being allowed to carry on. With the EDR/FTR riders going in as heat leaders and some of the worlds most capable riders racing as reserves, ( and racking up mega pay days) the time has come to say stop. I know that speedway is stuck in a time warp but surely it can't be beyond the realms of possibility to organise a meeting, (or even a conference call on Skype FFS) and get this sorted? We have 8 promotors in a small country, not 250 spread out over the world, speedway star should be asking in bold letters every week until they get a result, why the powers that be are allowing this to continue. It's not rocket science, try being journalists and holding those in control of our sport to account rather than licking their arses week in week out !

Trees Posted May 13, 2016 Report Share Posted May 13, 2016 Perhaps the promoters who voted for this race format with edrs moving up into the team thought heat leaders wouldn't go down .. wrong! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PHILIPRISING Posted May 13, 2016 Report Share Posted May 13, 2016 (edited) I hope he does ! He needs to. I HAVE but as I have said many times I'm no longer involved in the day-to-day editorial production of SS. However, I have passed your post on to the current editor with a 'suggestion' that they take this on board.
