tellboy Posted October 11, 2016 Report Share Posted October 11, 2016 Money must be the biggest reason.If Britsh speedway paid the most the riders would ride here 7 days a week for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reliant Robin Posted October 11, 2016 Report Share Posted October 11, 2016 Half of the GP field raced in the UK in 2016......with 3 of the top 5 finishing up the season here. Standout rider this year is Jason Doyle who has just committed to a new 2 year deal at Swindon. Not all doom and gloom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazy robin Posted October 11, 2016 Report Share Posted October 11, 2016 Who cares as just want to see riders who want to ride in Britain. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poolebolton Posted October 11, 2016 Report Share Posted October 11, 2016 One thing the UK does offer though is big sponsors for Riders. Maybe not league but there are some big sponsors for UK riders. Most Poole riders get lots of cost covered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perton Wolf Posted October 11, 2016 Report Share Posted October 11, 2016 One consistent race night is the biggest factor in my mind. We could even have more fixtures if we were able to designate one night of the week for EL action. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xmas Posted October 11, 2016 Report Share Posted October 11, 2016 Money, pay Poland wages here and the riders would ride here every night Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wealdstone Posted October 11, 2016 Report Share Posted October 11, 2016 (edited) I was once told the reason why riders wanted to ride in Britain was because of the different size, shape etc of British tracks as compared with the continent and thus they could gain experience of all conditions. As British speedway is now a shadow of a shadow of what it once was and virtually every major event is held abroad , they no longer need that experience. Of course money is also a big factor Edited October 11, 2016 by wealdstone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedibee Posted October 11, 2016 Report Share Posted October 11, 2016 One consistent race night is the biggest factor in my mind. We could even have more fixtures if we were able to designate one night of the week for EL action. Well we Are not .for many well documented reasons , so if the superstars cant come and grab what little money is left , on the night when tracks are available ,Tough we will live without them 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LagutaRacingFan Posted October 11, 2016 Report Share Posted October 11, 2016 A lot surely has to be down to Brexit? Foreign riders would have noticed the attitude that the majority of Brits have towards people of European culture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foamfence Posted October 11, 2016 Report Share Posted October 11, 2016 A lot surely has to be down to Brexit?

So how do you account for the last ten years? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
