He doesn’t - he’s a troll

https://www.eastbourneeagles.co/news-1/2018/11/24/latest-statement So Eastbourne almost ready to accept their move to the Championship, should be confirmed by next weekend.

I’m a Lynn fan who stopped going to KL for a few reason - one of the main reason is the poor racing gate and go is the norm - the one thing Pboro has got is a far superior race track that’s unless Buster ruins that as well .

Doesn't exactly inspire anyone when theres Lynn fans who say they dont go to home meetings because of the way he runs his beloved Lynn team, then theres those who seem to think Peterborough are now the poor neighbours that will just end up with whats left and have very limited funds to attract anyone ,NKI and Bjerre might prefer to "come home" now, they both could be used as a means of getting some of the fans that had drifted away to return and as has been pointed out many times assets are pointless now as riders will ride were they want to.

Who is the Workington promoter

Well there’s a surprise....

No, he is finished.

I've never ever in my life heard a rider utter these very words before..........DISGRACEFUL !!!...........LOL

Pure lies!!

They will mean he loves himself and his family more then Workington

If there is a track available at Rye House, which it seems it is, and there is a promotion able to run speedway there and there seems there is, would you not think it would be in the interests of everyone to put one with the other and keep speedway going, irrespective of the arguments between the former Rye House promotion and the BSPA

Offered more money.

I would suspect it's along the lines of the bond, that they are required to post with the BSPA before they run, not being sufficient to cover their outstanding debts (riders wages etc.). The BSPA will have paid the riders the outstanding wages, all be it at the standard league rate. I.e. Not the additional money agreed between Rye House and the individual riders. Just a theory.

According to Cookie , when he joined , he stated he was getting paid for results, so to me I think lessons have been learnt

...best place for it!

Some new names would be useful. It like living in a time warp. Have missed brum's banter over the last few years. It's been grim downstairs. We've had to bring Taps and his mates with us (in fact as step bruvvers now) but no pain no gain as they say

Well I reckon you did a pretty good job taming the Lions this season......and the season before........and the season before............

So long as Buster doesnt insist they go to Foxhall I dont care either way

God you lot need an injection of enthusiasm, hope you get it with a few signing announcements, the management holding a fans forum would be great too.... I understand you're tentative re the new arrangement, guess I would be, but you have speedway at the showground for another year, that's great, particularly our derbies

Smashing news, Jock Sedgmen back in the blue and gold, should be the ideal partner for Josh in the engine room of the team. Sedgy on the white line, Josh along the air fence. Perfect team riding! He should add a bit to the 6 average especially at home, where he is much loved. Welcome home....the bar has been polished for your next performance.

Sometimes things just dont work out He never really fitted in - didnt seem to mix fully in the pits and certainly didnt connect with the fans. Turned down various offers of help with machinery when he looked very slow Think it was more that his injuries were much worse than he let on that was the problem Probably it was only that options were limited that meant he wasnt shipped out earlier. Whilst his eventual departure was farcical to say the least it was definitely the right decision If he is fully fit Im sure he will do a decent job back where he feels most comfortable

Hi ruff, but forgot I was going to reply. I blame the 5 pints after the King Donner last night. A good night with a decent showing with all 3 owners, and of course mine host was John Taylor of Boilertech our main sponsor, who's son in law has the pub The Shakespears Tavern, Guide Post. Nothing formal just a bit of craic, pie, peas and gravy, together with tickets for 2 free drinks. Can we not have one of these every week ? Roy had brought a DVD with cuttings from Sunderland and other tracks, and lots of old Newcastle teams and our PL winning season. That went down well. No talk of the future team, I think cos that wasn't the point of the night, but there will be a Xmas Party this year the 22nd December at the PTE, which is going to be formally announced soon, so get it your diary, but I don't think tickets for 2 free drinks will be on offer.

Honestly I think if I was to produce the actual pay slips you wouldn't believe it and having been a sponsor for many years now of various riders (even some at Glasgow) you get to find out what is actually going on, but at the end of the day we are where we are and once the dust settles nothing will come of it, however the hypocrisy is overwhelming and if the roles were reversed there would be just as big an outcry of foul play from the other side without a shadow of doubt. However as sated earlier I do genuinely hope Glasgow win something this year for all they have done to improve facilities and all they have spent (not just on riders) to improve and develop the sport in the area they deserve some reward for their effort. Good Luck in 2019. Regard THJ

Talking of season ticket holders getting a discount, had an e-mail from the club today saying because of Rye House folding last season & one meeting not taking place ,£17 will be knocked of next seasons renewal. So credit were credits due, because this hasn't happened before in past seasons.

If we don't sign Batchelor and presumably can't afford Doyle, that doesn't leave us with many options for a #1.

Good luck with that Flappy

Is there any need it is dragging on more than Home & Away if as you say you have texts etc would you not be better to deal with this of the public domain I am not having a pop here just this is not the place to air any dirty linen. If indeed there is any in the first place to be aired. Most of us are just supporters of our respective clubs and we all post in haste on here sometimes even me . The anti Glasgow feeling on here is partly down to what you post on here and people jumping on the bandwagon, what you post may or may not be true but it is human nature for a collective to believe what they read and build momentum growing in numbers until they say something that often most believe it. A lot of your post's are informative and amusing but to continue with the Anti Glasgow nature of these posts you are currently drip feeding the hordes, it is getting very tiresome. You seem like a well educated person surely you must realise that posting about how teams do business good , bad or indifferent that on here is not the place. I bear no grudges you are doing what you think is right but please deal with this in private.

You could always ask Dave Howe !!

Rasmus will really upset a lot of Comets fans if he has succumbed to what are tantamount to BRIBES by a certain other club ! He stated publicly at the End of Season do that he LOVED WORKINGTON and wants to ride here in 2019 for us if at all possible. What will all those words actually mean if he doesnt ?

I believe he finished fourth one year under the impression that would suffice (“I thought I was sweet!”) only to find out afterwards it was top three! Don’t know if it’s changed again subsequently, but obviously academic now after that state second place did the trick.

Ok, I've had a go with a side which is very local, keeps our costs down on flights. 1. Andersen - 7.56 2. Thomsen - 5.53 3. Bjerre - 7.02 4. Jepsen Jensen - 6.52 5. Iversen - 7.38 6. Palm Toft - 5.36 7. Bacon - 3.00 42.37 I would pay £20 each week to watch the above side. The above team is one that would compete in the Polish or Swedish League.

Your source has been listening to chinese whispers

Just to extend the 'provocation' a bit further and in order to fully thank the whole 'team' then maybe track officials, volunteers and fans should have been invited also?!

Yes, Henry long is still around, - heard from him only last month via the family in the Cape, where he now lives. I wont say 'going strong', but at 91 he's holding up well and never complains says his daughter.

Is there any other way to have em Ruff ?

Good luck for the season young man. Stay safe.

Pretty fair comments taps. I think he was far from fit in his time at fox holes. And he should have been replaced earlier. Just hope he's got the shoulder properly fixed and back to his old best.

You just stay on your roundabout and keep going in circles #twit

"Mechanics" usually have jobs and do this for extra money, or know the rider to some extent, and do it for a mate.Maybe the real top guys have a team travel with them all over the world, but I very much doubt it. I wouldn't say most are classed as self employed mechanics. They change wheels, sprockets, maybe clutch plates, alter timing, that type of things, on the night. Usually they don't touch engines, that's a tuners job. I know an ex rider that used to spanner for Mads at £100 a meeting at Lynn. He had a day job. Not saying they don't deserve something/praise, but many are not "self employed mechanics", more like helpers and many do it for peanuts.

is that grant McDonald gonna give it another go ? tero, bickley and campton are all crowd favourites at workington

Give over Ostergaard is barely heat leader standard in the championship and Lambert in reality should be nowhere near the top league either

I could think of another word to replace fun .

Point one - unfair contract terms and a lack of good faith on behalf of the trader (i.e. the club) may mean that the contract is not legally binding - so shall we say unfair payment terms, or lacking of would constitute a non-legally binding contract. You worked for and may work for whomever...but last time I looked, we were discussing Speedway, not Bob the Builder. Good for you, you must speak to a lot of riders then...whomever you are. So you insinuate every rider it seems...there is ambiguity within your statement. However, yes it is standard practice that the rider shall and can approach the BSPA to get involved should there be outstanding payments; and why a club would want to hold payments owing unduly is quite really beyond me. I know of one club whom done this. Absolute disgusting behavior. If there are not specific payment dates in the contract then the company default payment terms would take effect, such terms would be set out in the terms of business. Wonder if your club presents this to the riders...Again, we're not talking Bob the Builder, and whom pays you for whatever under whatever terms are of no interest to me. The point I make is of a factual one - riders would not wish to ride for a club whom have appear to have track record of riders not being paid upon invoicing. More so when a payment date was confirmed (one of many!) yet no sign of cleared funds, nothing but false promises. Perhaps you should understand the facts first, before issuing false public statements regarding your club/club that you are or may be affiliated to. Rather than jumping on the keyboard bandit train; people should be focusing more on what they can achieve through offering assistance to their clubs, something as simple as posting on social media rather than jumping to conclusions on a masked identify forum.

...and mine! Interesting interview with ex-Cheetah Colin Ackroyd. Showed good potential and another who came thru' the Eastbourne Academy but found breaking into ' The Eagles' side difficult to say the least. Arlington's second halves had loads of good prospects and it was a natural way for youngsters to ply their trade competing against first team members. Always amuses me when people condemn the old second halves but how are riders able to develop without the valuable experience as was the want under the old system?

The wrong G. It is Gail that does the takings. Rob, or God to others, does the track & presenting & other tasks that crop up.

I said it earlier in this post, if a business spends more out than it brings in, the business will fail. You are extremely lucky that you have Sugar Daddies in Glasgow, but after their statement it appears they have woken up and smelled the coffee

Fair enough - his money - his choice BUT and it’s a BIG BUT the Panthers fans will not tolerate Buster riding rough shod over them in any manner relating to how our Club is now run the way the Stars fans possibly would - they will just walk away and let him get on with it!

Toft!

What makes you think that people want to read your drivel when the forum is for people to chat about Peterborough speedway?

Bacon I think has a chance of making the step up. Clearly Lambert does not
