Fromafar replied to Lionsman66's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
That’s in the future for riders .This mess needs sorting out first. How they had been talking for months previously and it comes to this is unbelievable in what is meant to be a professional sport. -

There’s a few Pickering standard that will have to make decision.One bad match in Poland and you might be twiddling their thumbs for a few weeks. -
Got an average based on very good home form at Worky. interesting signing though.

Promoters who were characters over the years
Fromafar replied to YeOldPitGate's topic in Speedway News and Discussions
Think Old Jim Beaton was a bit of a character,always had a few stories and could write a book on specialist “track prep”.Kept Tigers going for many years. -

Peter Waite autobiography would be a good read if he ever wrote one. -
That’s just dreaming IMO. Nobody is going to bankroll Speedway.

I Have no problem with Louis throwing the the towel,just don’t blame other Promoters who don’t want to risk financial ruin by doing something that looks the case. -

That’s too sensible for some. You have to have some sympathy for the lesser riders that won’t know if they are “coming or going” .Maybe the are being kept in the picture though. -
Really just the state of the sport in GB.The chickens are coming home to roost.Not a big surprise.

Would agree.

Self Interest I would call it.

Shopping. -
Yet you were wanting Sheffield bought as you were counting him in Premiership. The Dean Machine has summed it up perfectly.

No.Think he will be a top man.Shame it’s not a Berwick . IMO.
-
I personally think the sport has too take step back and rebuild.Dont know what the plan would involve but there are a lot more riders out there than some people are saying. Everyone know that even most Championship Clubs are barely hanging on.Self Interest has to put to the side.

Nail on the head.If Sheffield were making money it probably would not be up for sale. Obviously Bates Company money was propping it it up. why did he sell Leicester probably for the same reason.

Here there is a Polish skate sharpener trying too muscle in . -
Given his average he is probably worth a punt in any Team.
