No having to plan fixtures around other non UK leagues, even for rescheduled meetings.. And loads of potential earnings for the riders, who could in theory ride seven times a week over here.. All the heat leaders who DU must have done well for themselves this year, especially riding against so many RS's every meeting (both team mates and opponents).. Cant see either Promoters or Riders wanting too much change.. If DU continues then it must be used as a cost saving and not, as Eastbourne found out, a blank cheque for riders. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike0310 Posted September 10, 2021 Report Share Posted September 10, 2021 Correct paying RETAINERS. at this level is financial madness and i can’t prove it but I believe that my team had two riders on. It, no guessing who, ridiculous we are not Poland we are the middle tier of British speedway. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Plymouth can be excused if they paid retainers to any rider, given that they weren't accepted into the Championship til the last minute and had to put together a relatively competitive 1-7. The Promotion seem very pleased with how things have gone (presumably including finance) so as long as it worked for them............... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was not the season Jason or those season ticket holders had wished for but were are we with those season ticket purchases next year?

Yes crump was disappointing,however bjarne was better than I expected i will be buying a season ticket again as will everyone i know is doing the same. It was no fault of the promotion crump was poor that's speedway I guess. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bagpuss Posted September 14, 2021 Report Share Posted September 14, 2021 I think you can blame Crump's season purely on that crash at Wolves. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I am trying to get across is in my 55 years of following speedway I had never purchased a season ticket, Crump's inclusion in the Plymouth team was the only reason I purchased that ticket. I have thoroughly enjoyed my speedway @ Plymouth in 2021 - but would not have the same desire do buy a 2022 ticket with no J.C. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robinh88 Posted September 15, 2021 Report Share Posted September 15, 2021 Tbf the guy had been out of competitive racing for nine years. The crash deffo wouldn’t have helped either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
