Tosh1218 Posted November 15, 2021 Report Share Posted November 15, 2021 I’m sure everyone must realise Rob Godfrey the head honcho at the BSPA. but he doesn’t make the decision by himself . As for the Tv money for the 6 clubs in the top league it’s those promoters who refused to split the pot with another club . As already stated 4 clubs ride on a Friday so guests are at a short supply .gone is the time when the worlds best riders rode in Britain they go to Poland for the big money which you can’t blame the riders as there career isn’t guaranteed to be a long one . Just hope all the negativity disappears and clubs at both levels can get more punters through the gate . Heres hoping 2022 is better for British Speedway 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It makes total sense to allow tracks to race on the night they feel will deliver their best crowds.. And for an entertainment business you would think Friday would deliver more punters than a Wednesday. (Especially the much needed families with young kids who hopefuly will become adult punters in later years).. Absolute crackers that they hold back the sports growth by preventing teams from riding on nights they want to because it means not enough guests will be available.... A ruling that destroys all the sport's credibility, and therefore reduces crowds significantly, and keeps major sponsors and mainstream media away, prevents tracks from riding on nights that they feel would increase the crowds that follow the sport.. An amazing plan... Edited November 16, 2021 by mikebv 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An amazing plan... Although I do agree with your points, running 4 meetings on a Friday would be foolish. That would be 8 teams in action, now out of those 8 teams its only going to take a few injures and rider commitments elsewhere and your in a world of pain getting 8 teams to tapes at somewhere near full strength Then the crowds will dip all round on the nights as substandard teams will have to be put out.. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaizer Posted November 16, 2021 Report Share Posted November 16, 2021 As Oxford would be bottom of priority list would also mean at least 4 home meetings on your alternative race night thus losing any consistency to the casual fan 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Equals 56 riders needed.. 8 teams. 6 riders per team. Equals 48 riders needed.. 8 teams. 5 riders per team. Equals 40 riders needed.. Use six or five man teams and you have plenty of riders to come in and replace those missing.. Far better to deliver a credible offering, and do it on nights that can deliver your best crowds, and thus grow the sport as a collective..
