Maybe riding in the Euro Grasstrack and World Longtrack in recent weeks has had an impact on Harris’s speedway riding? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speedtiger Posted June 26, 2023 Report Share Posted June 26, 2023 The whole thing is a self inflicted shambles and treats the loyal paying fans like they are complete idiots. This sort of shenanigans going on at KL and Panthers and the lack of honesty and credibility are driving what few fans speedway has away from the sport, probably never to return. The Clueless Clown Chapman and the rest of the BSPA may well wonder why the sport is in terminal decline into oblivion. I think it’s way to late and I’m sure they don’t but maybe they should read this forum and find out what there paying ‘customers’ the fans think.

cowboy cookie returns? Posted June 26, 2023 Report Share Posted June 26, 2023 Laguta is about as injured as the pit gate was broken earlier in the season. Buster is certainly getting his moneys worth from the ladybird book of bullrubbish this season 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He should be charged with bringing the sport into disrepute not only that every time lynn or Peterborough ride away the home promotion have to shell out due to a big home win and a low crowd as the teams are understrength and provide poor entertainment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lynn are going to need someone to buy the promotion to continue imho. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cerro Posted June 26, 2023 Report Share Posted June 26, 2023 Another wonderful day in British speedway No doubt us fans from Championship teams will get dragged into this nonsense next year when its undoubtedly a one league setup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have the sport they want.. A hobby that isnt taken too seriously and has no forensic analysis, nor review.. It could be so much more if the skill set of those in charge was fit for purpose.. And that is the real frustration... So many in charge of clubs today have overseen a huge decline in the sport during their tenure, so clearly dont have the capability to turn it around, and, sadly, when new ideas have come in, those with them are soon sent away disillusioned, leaving the sport to those dinosaurs who are quite happy to continue with their hobby that masquerades as a sporting contest.. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rocket007 Posted June 26, 2023 Report Share Posted June 26, 2023 This sport is an absolute joke. There are more clowns in it than Billy Smarts Circus. If a Team owner won't pay the wages of one of his contracted riders, then why is a facility allowed to cover. Speedway should become like Football, let clubs sign who they like, do away with averages, have one rising star per team. If a side wants to have the best 6 + r/s then so be it. Crowds would probably increase with better riders on show more often. Teams like Man City don't have to get rid of their best players because they won the league, instead they can go and get even better players if required. Speedway should follow this same route. If a Speedway owner has the money, let them get who they want. I would rather pay to watch a side with 6 top riders and a Rookie, than one top rider, one has-been, two never-will, two who might and a youngster. It's time Speedway changed their model as presently it is not working and something needs to be done soon before either Speedway dies or all the supporters who used to go. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally agree mbv. The recent and current bunch running the sport haven’t got the acumen to turn things around. Clearly I’m not a big fan of Chapman because he’s been so bad for the sport and all the problems at KL and Peterborough are down to his incompetence and mismanagement but the way speedway has declined is much BUT not ALL down to him. The other Clown Prince Godfrey is nothing short of useless! As BSPA chairman what does he do? Not a lot, he’s more interested in running a small beer third rate club than the wider sport. I agree there’s no quick fix, no silver bullet it needs people of the right calibre and vision but as you say a few have tried to change and improve things and got the order of the boot. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
