Sings4Speedway Posted June 26, 2023 Report Share Posted June 26, 2023 2 hours ago, rocket007 said: 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. Because thats working so well in Rugby Union.....clubs need a budget to work to that is proven to be affordable otherwise the few that are left will go like many before them.

Well done to him on his first max. Has he scored a full 15 points max for Poole at championship level? looking a brilliant prospect Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I take it you mean a Budget as in each individual Team ?, because if it's the same budget for every team there is no way of policing it, as it stands we don't have a monetary budget but we have a points limit/budget and that doesn't work either, lets face it Kings Lynn should be in the Championship and so should Peterborough but for the sake of British speedway having a Premier League and a bit of TV money Buster kept both of them in a League where they are making it a joke League, RIP British speedway with these clowns running it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tellboy Posted June 26, 2023 Report Share Posted June 26, 2023 Having just come on here as I am on holiday.Think there is an overreaction to Laguta missing.We all know this has been going on for years,since I have been going to speedway anyway.Not so long ago Kurtz missed Belle Vues meeting at Lynn with a supposed reaction to an injury,only to ride in Poland the next evening.Its not good I know but I just can't believe some of those complaining here haven't complained on all fraudulent absences this season. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hackett Posted June 26, 2023 Report Share Posted June 26, 2023 Pretty pathetic away performance from the Stars. Decent effort from Morris but 5pts between Harris and Klindt the other two heat leaders shows how dominant Wolves are at Monmore Green. As for Laguta there are no away meetings until mid July - Leicester + Peterborough. So guess more a case of whether further financial cost-cutting has taken place by Chapman.

Either way the caps are far too high and 3 clubs into administration this year already. Far too many speedway teams follow the same principles of tracking teams they simply cannot afford.

Don't I know it as a London Irish fan. I was simply making the point that the analogy was wrong. A rugby union Premiership side cannot just go out and sign who ever it likes if it can afford it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikebv Posted June 27, 2023 Report Share Posted June 27, 2023 (edited) 77 points worth of money paid out last night by Wolves... Ouch! KL only scored 10 points if you take that every team starts with a given 15 as a minimum.. Wow... And Wolves' 65 points were only five behind KL's total aggregate of 70 for both meetings.. Sadly KL and Peterborough have become cannon fodder for the rest of the league. . Edited June 27, 2023 by mikebv 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly KL and Peterborough have become cannon fodder for the rest of the league. . That makes terrible reading - and if you take the two guests scores of the total as well Morris 11 and Harris 1 leaves just 13 point scored by Kings Lynn contracted riders which quite honestly is absolutely terrible not even a point a race . Sooner the season ends for Kings Lynn the better it’s just going through the motions of completing the fixtures .Can even see Pboro finishing ahead of us on this form Edited June 27, 2023 by Haza Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
