IainB Posted June 20, 2022 Report Share Posted June 20, 2022 So the current state of British Speedway... British Final on a Monday night, CLRC on a Wednesday night, No Fours, No PLRC, No Test Matches, No point 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuntdouble Posted June 20, 2022 Report Share Posted June 20, 2022 It will be a usual sized crowd then. Missed a massive trick here. And people wonder why speedway is in decline. Not many supporters going to travel with work the next day and kids who are the next generation of income for teams still at school. This main men want to wake up and smell the coffee.
