If this is the case does it not say the writing is on the wall for speedway in the UK and riders are starting to desert the sinking ship. How on earth has it got to this where stalwarts of British speedway have given up on the home product and now look further afield to maintain the standard of living that they have become accustom to. Overseas territories gain is domestic speedway’s loss. It is not looking good for speedway in this country. -

I'm sure Chris gets several offers from Poland every year. What is significant is that he has said yes to one. (He's ridden just 2 matches in the last 8 years in Poland). -

Don't forget the fuel taps make a valid point, irrespective of how much £££ that anyone thinks a rider is paid. It is a fact with only one league they will not be racing in as many meetings per season and hence there will be less money on offer (assuming CL clubs arent going to suddenly double pay rates) Employing clubs may have to accept that a rider may not have 2 bikes, a mechanic and a van at every meeting ? Maybe each club should prepare a "track spare" available at every meeting should a rider have problems. There is certainly an air of the sport becoming more of a semi professional, or part time employment in the UK , with riders earning outside speedway and racing as a hobby. The days of every UK team member from 1 -7 turning up with 2 brand new bikes , a luxurious motorhome/van and a team of mechanics are surely over? Riders as self employed individuals have a choice. -
You're saying Poland are not hanging around to see what the UK are playing at? 😂
