I also think Leicester is quite a peculiar track and takes quite some mastering even from some of the more experienced riders, so bringing in these riders with little to no experience of it is not helping. To have a Cubs/Fox's team and not be developing through that is a big mistake, the club seems to have alienated the 2 best riders from that system in the Thompsen's and Cairns inexplicably wants to plough his furrow elsewhere. The club made a big thing about the signings of Mountain & Perry, they don't even seemingly come into the equation.  Mr Dickson seems to like to wear his ruthlessness as a badge of honour and has mentioned that he's not afraid to make a change a number of times in the media... how about just getting it right from the start? 🤔

I agree with point 2... but not point 1, based on last years performances alone he should not have been back. Mr Dickson seems to have a merry go round of the same riders, it'll probably be only a matter of time before Kemp is dropped (for the umpteenth time) and another one is the old faces will be in, Batch any one?

‘Twas ever thus. Clubs/countries put the spade work in before the money men come sniffing and waving their cheque books. 

There use to be (25%-75%) but it got dropped together with the ability to replace an injured team member after 75% period. Bad move. 

I disagree with that, it is a sport & if you're not performing, can't demand a place all season. But I do feel, and this is for all riders, there should be a minimum amount of matches ridden before you can be dropped, maybe 8, at the very minimum 6 imo.

Not sure that'll be the opinion of Cook though. Pretty sure if he wants to secure a good future in the sport he'll be "yes Mr Polish Man, what ever you say Mr Polish Man." It's just the way things are now, British Speedway no longer call the shots. If we want the big boys on our island, we'll have to continue ✊🏻💦 Mr Polish Man
