No Breaks: A Lost Season in British Speedway is a story of
survival. Once the country's second most popular sport, filling
Wembley Stadium for meetings, speedway now gets by on crowds
numbered in the hundreds. It's been banished to industrial estates
in towns like Redcar and Scunthorpe and generally forgotten by the
mainstream media. And yet, going into 2020, things were looking up:
several star riders were returning to race in Britain for the first
time in years and a new, long-term TV contract was in place. Then
the coronavirus lockdown happened, cancelling the league season and
threatening the sport's very existence. Starting in September 2019,
No Breaks hears from those who earn a living from speedway - the
riders - and those who continue to keep it alive against the odds:
the promoters and fans. Month by month, the book explores British
speedway's current health - itself a reflection of wider society -
while shining a much-needed light on many compelling and positive
stories.
