doesn''t matter who rides here - someone has to come 4th! Its the racing not the names. The names mean nothing to the absent public. 


Being fourth and half the track behind is very different to skilled riders.

No sport has survived by dumbing down its product.  look at other forms of motorsport, gates are on the rise by using social media and promoting its product.  Allowing children in for free.

Would it be too sensible to assume the money the top league are getting from Eurosport that they went out and say bought 3 track covers between the league something useful or getting some actual decent grading equipment instead of wasting it on riders like they did with the Sky money.

Hope they use any Eurosport money to improve the sport, rather than pay riders who in turn pay tuners,

The promoters will probably try and entice a couple of "so called big riders" back spend all the tv money on them and once crowds have fallen further and the money has ran out the said riders will be nowhere to be seen.

Speedway could learn from chocolate, tasted for the first time how many go back for more chocolate,, chocolate has also moved with the times to keep relavent. Cider did the same, now gin is doing it, it's giving the customer what it wants, by investing in itself and moving on. Speedway needs to be more like chocolate and gin.

Speedway crowds and chocolate bars do have something in common, they both get smaller year on year ...

Chocolate is relevant?

Well, yes, in a diabetes sense.

Cadbury’s Dairy Milk, for example, has 55% sugar and 25% cocoa solids.

People are addicted to sugar, not chocolate.

Cadburys has not tasted the same since the sell off to Mondelez who changed the ingredients. Just tastes of slimy cheap and nasty palm oil these days. That's progress for you :cry:

Agree, Cadbury's just give me a constant headache these days. Stick to Galaxy now, can't be beaten. Unlike Speedway, it offers good value for money. 

Cadbury's has turned into the Speedway equivalent, lower the standards and charge more for it.

Aldi milk choc came out top in a taste test against other top brands. 

Again, another Speedway equivalent. 

Excellent quality, great value for money but many refuse to try it as it's at the lowest level of the rung. People don't like to be seen buying cheap as it makes them feel inferior.

plenty of old school things have made remarkable comebacks like real ale, cider & gin as you stated so watch out Sherry will be next....you heard it here first
