but if the future of the sport isn't invested in there will be no business to run. 

getting it now?

The problem with the bottom starts at the very top. If clubs were incentivised to run NL sides with reduction in fees etc it would be a greater encouragement. Same as the lower development leagues, charging the amounts to volunteers to be signed up members every year, entry fees etc is ridiculous.

Yes all speedway is a business and it is foolish to jeopardise a clubs survival for the sake of running a NL side. Belle Vue openly say the PL side tops up the funds but others have run at a very affordable level, Len Silver turned a profit at Kent every season in a genuine stadium so it can be done.

There is just a lack of willing at the top to make it worthwhile, the weasel wants the youth rounds to be the saviour of everything, Louis thinks 1 meeting a season will transform the sport. Half the promotions now don't care about 10 years time because they won't still be involved then (if there is any sport left to be involved with).

At the end of the day speedway is a business not a charity. 

Unbelievable. It's like trying to argue a point with a lump of wood. Do you really not understand the issue? Poole do not want to contribute to the cost of NDL racing, but want to be able to pick riders out of the NDL whenever it suits them. It's blatant hypocrisy.

Maybe everyone should just follow the FIM/CARDIFF model?

Nothing new here, Poole have been cheating/poaching/stealing riders for years & years & giving nothing back, not likely to change any time soon.

i do find it rather amusing that everyone who doesn't support Poole can see this, but the Poole fans just wont accept it.

Hit the nail on the head here. Like I previously said, what’s happened is summed up with what you’ve said.

So best not say anything about all those young aussies that Poole invested in bringing to British speedway and all the clubs that benefitted from them later on. Eg. Crump, Adams,Boyce, Lemon, Doyle, Holders, Cooks etc etc
