More importantly Edinburgh hopefully get another year at Armadale sorted. But a breakaway won’t happen, what may happen is that Glasgow and our owners in particular try and change the way the sport is being run.

Streaming could now be attributed to lower attendances with clubs still getting an income. A family of 3 or 4 would spend £60-80+ on a meeting(gate receipts, programmes, food, parking, petrol) whereas £12 on a stream in the warmth of a home. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree,do clubs get a fee from BSN when they are streaming their meeting.Edinburgh are good example theyget a decent return from streaming,but it is a lot cheaper to buy the stream than pay at the gate,so unless it’s neutral supporters buying the stream it’s a catch 22.They do have radius limit on who could buy the stream though.

Nickinho Posted October 22, 2022 Report Share Posted October 22, 2022 Alan Dick's excuse for the non-participation of the Tigers in the Jubilee Cup tournament is the funniest/lamest excuse i've ever heard for cancelling a speedway tie 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not how they don’t. It is open to all. I think over all it’ll increase revenue but no doubt they’ll have lost a bit of gate money. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noelinho Posted October 22, 2022 Report Share Posted October 22, 2022 Good to see a couple of others wanting Marcin Nowak back. He was told when we had him for a few weeks end of last season. We want entertainment and he certainly gave it. His English wasn’t great but he just seemed like a great guy to have around. No idea what he’s done this season, but if we had a full season of what he gave us a glimpse of, he’d be a very popular rider. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m sure he would get to grips with away tracks quickly , really struggled at Armadale but that’s hardly a barometer to judge him. Ask Leon Madsen.

Was brought in to try win the league as the polish season was done and didn’t work cause other than Ashfield he was hopeless. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winning trophies is nice, but prioritising winning entertainment at home needs to be the priority. That’s what gets people to part with their cash. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People support a team at the end of the day though and if they get pumped every week even if the racing is good they’re not going to flock back.

Scored 6 at Poole on his first visit there, don’t really think he was brought in to win the league, he was brought in to replace Justin who had dropped from the main body of the team and was struggling at reserve. In reality should’ve replaced Broc or Ricky. he stated then that he couldn’t come back this season due to Polish commitments but would be back in the future. He’s just announced that he’s left his polish club Łódz but hasn’t said where he’s going. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glasgow have only lost two meetings at home in the last two seasons, firstly to Edinburgh the night after Uli’s major accident and secondly to Poole in this years playoffs with a decimated squad and a 30 point deficit. I don’t feel it’s going to change in the near future. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newcastle spending money they obviously didnt have on repairing a track to continue the season with a No1 and his sidekick No7 who was out of his depth? An abandoned British Final resulting in a rider being nominated to do the British GP ? BV signing a rider, who previously declined to ride in his home country's league, for THREE matches in a bid to win silverware? Biggest jokes though are BSPA and SCB. They didn't really nominate anyone. The reigning British Champion got the wild card 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
