Remarkable that the "premiership" still lumbers on with the appallingly low standard of racers now being paraded ....... guess it just allows the promoters to charge higher admission fees compared to the championship. No idea why it now costs more to stage 15 heats in the premiership than the championship ........ ...because Prem riders are on higher pay rates!! Simples.

A showery day forecast at the moment nothing major though and showers should die out by start time - Though speedway being speedway who knows I’ve seen meetings called off for less in the past . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haza Posted May 14, 2021 Report Share Posted May 14, 2021 I think the fans interest on all things KL speedway on social media has definitely fallen to what it was 2 to 3/years ago on both Twitter and Facebook- re tweets likes and sharing posts have all fallen I think and so has comments to posts - a lot of the usual suspects don’t comment now . it certainly should be a concern to the club .

Haven't you heard of "special dispensation"? Great little addition to the rulebook that can be used by any club in their time of need.

See below I think that this year will see a fair few cobbled together septets, and ad hoc rules being made up almost on the spot, just to ensure that the meetings take place... Because why should this year be any different....? Wahey!! Baddum Tish.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But most of the premiership riders are championship riders, there just using the premiership badge, so they can charge more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
