a4poster Posted July 16 Report Share Posted July 16 Whilst in Manchester for the Speedway of Nations and talking to a number of supporters from fellow Clubs, a lot of the Supporters seem to share the consensus that the sport in its present guise - with tracks diminishing, an elderly fanbase, etc will face a struggle to survive. One thing also struck me was the range of ideas Supporters had and the vast amount of knowledge and business acumen the Sport is missing out on. Travelling home I wondered if anybody has thought have forming a National Speedway Supporters Trust - where members could join and pledge money each month - that would be used to sustain the sport. The money a member would have to pay could start at £2 a month or upwards. The body of the Trust Board would be democratically elected by the Trust members each season. Monies raised by the Trust would be used to provide the long-term future of the Sport and not to prop up the sports bad management. Any thoughts? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
