The future of British speedway needs our help! No british riders made it to the world u21 final. No British riders made it to the european u19 final. No British riders made it to the GP challenge. Britain did not make it to the world cup final. We need to help start developing British riders to a higher level. We need to start producing better british talent. We need to make the BSPA realise that changes need to be made to start developing better British riders so join in support of this campaign. You won't be alone, riders and managers will also be asked to join in support of developing better British talent, the more numbers we get the more chance the BSPA will act! One suggestion is that the BSPA change the rules so that ALL Elite league teams AND Premier league teams have to have one Under 21 British rider at reserve. This will give our young riders better experience at riding at a higher level not only on the track but also learning in the pits from the top riders. They will then be able to better compete in the individual and team national competitions as they have more experience and have developed quicker. This campaign will be forwarded to the head of young lions management team and British under 21 coaches Phil Morris and Neil Vatcher, who will then document it and put it forward to the BSPA prior to the conference. They have tried previously and continue to try to get these changes and more spots for British under 21's in the top leagues but they need more ammunition, so let's give it them! Come on, don't sit back and do nothing and watch our British riders get outclassed by more experienced and more developed foreign riders, just join the campaign by adding your name to the list of supporters and let's see if we can make a change! The future is bright, the future is British! ***This is not a discussion thread, just get your name on the petition to show support, also request to join the group on facebook "Support the Future of British Speedway" click on request to join, top right.

The momentum behind this push is proof that the BSPA can no longer ignore the collapse of our talent pipeline. This sport is rotting from the top down and it is time for the suits to stop making excuses for their failure to support British riders.

Too many foreign imports not enough grass roots development. Wake up BSPA!

Its embarrassing watching our lads struggle like this. Forced reserve spots are the only way forward. Sort it out BSPA.
