We build a team that imho has a chance of top 4 for a change, and might have it torn up. It's a Mickey Morris Mouse sport if that happens.. British Speedway HAS been Mickey Mouse for a couple of decades now. But if this manipulation comes to fruition it's on a level par to religion. Totally fake, fictional nonsense.

I believe he's pushing for it as well because it makes sense with the following. Jack Holder potentially leaving (Sheffield would have to get rid of one of the power trio) Tom Brennan possibly not joining Ipswich and staying put at Birmingham (Dictated to by Phil Morris) Chris Harris potentially not being at KL (KL would have to get rid of someone in the 1-7 and replace them with someone like Lewis Kerr) If this is true , what a load of bollocks !!!! its worse than the old style rider control .... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4BenMoran Posted Friday at 06:23 PM Report Share Posted Friday at 06:23 PM Be interesting to see if Ben Cook can take that next step as a Star in 2025, there’ll be more pressure on him in that side than there was at BV in 2024 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noaksey Posted Friday at 06:39 PM Report Share Posted Friday at 06:39 PM The problem with the football analogy is that those teams will never run out of opposition to play, that's a real possibility for speedways premier league. Leave Birmingham and Lynn if you like to it but don't complain when there are only 5 teams left 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Football wouldn’t be the multi billion pound industry it is if it had been ran like speedway has been. That said speedway would never have a chance of being as big as football even if ran properly but don’t forget at one point it was the second biggest attended sport in the uk before the promoters cocked it up.

Agree with all that but we are where we are, do they try and preserve what is there now or do we just accept the natural order and work out what to do when 5 teams are left?

Tricky To be honest it’s to far gone to save now, what are there 17 tracks now which half the riders in the top league doubling up/down. I had several years away after giving up on the sport & returned as an occasional supporter in 2016. To be honest the combo or Doyle & Emil got me back as a full time supporter to my local track Ipswich in 2023, I’ll be there again next year but I’m just going to enjoy it as long as those two are there.

SpeedwayFan91 Posted Friday at 10:21 PM Report Share Posted Friday at 10:21 PM If our team is the team that’s been suggested (B Cook, Iversen, Kvech, Klindt, Lawson, Harris, Boughen) then I think we have a good chance of making top 4… but if it’s any worse than that 7 then we’ve got no chance! I won’t be going if the team is worse than that stated above Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Statistically we were not going to win many matches but I still travelled to Scotland twice iin one year. True supporters stay loyal to their team.

There's always something that 'breaks the camels back' to make someone to no longer go. In 2024 the "use it or lose it" speech doesn’t suffice anymore. Value for money is the be all & end all to a fan. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be grateful So I should waste 20 odd quid on a ticket, another 10-15 quid on food and drinks plus do a 100 mile round trip at least once a week to watch a team that is 2 points below the limit and worse than the team stated above?… Edited Saturday at 08:36 PM by SpeedwayFan91 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I have to wonder why supporting King's Lynn requires you to eat £15 of extra food in a week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because I leave home at 5:30 when I go to speedway and I don’t get home until around 11-11:30… I don’t eat usually until 7pm ish, so you expect me to not eat or drink anything for the 6 hours I’m out?
