MORE POLISH LEAGUE INTERFERENCE
Fromafar replied to Gunner85's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
While this is about British Youth signing up in Poland and I wish them well,but unless they are getting a decent retaining fee I fail to see how they will get enough chances to ride and make money given the number of youngsters in Poland.Like has been pointed out British riders at a much higher level have failed to “ cut the mustard” at Polish level. -

Not sure about Poland but he rode in Germany in League when he was 15. -
Find the Polish Correspondents articles interesting and a good insight to the people in a behind the sport over there.

Antonio Lindbäck has decided to retire
Fromafar replied to Ghostwalker's topic in Speedway News and Discussions
Was a exciting talent at one time ,think his lack of Professionalism was his let down. -
Sadly We don’t have the leadership at theTop of the Sport to Govern these things like Spending Costs and Riders Pay.IMO
-
From Whom though
-
If it was MY opinion you could knock it all you want ,but when the people like Godfrey give these kind of thoughts it doesn’t give much hope for thE Sport.
-
They may ,but they can’t make teams sign riders they can’t agree Terms with.They could ban all Foreigners then watch all hell let loose!!! They couldn’t run a raffle.IMO .It’s all about self interest.
-
Have to agree,it’s a bit of a silly statement from Godfrey.He has no control over Clubs terms and conditions regarding signing riders.Riders averages would also have to be taken into consideration.Just a nonsense statement.

GB need to offer better pay rates which is not possible due to the state of the sport here, no forward thinking in the last 20 years from Promoters here.Silly money and silly rules have driven many fans away so family ties with the sport have been lost and not been able to attract a new younger fan base.When cameras pan the the crowds in Poland they have a very healthy young fan base .The bubble May burst in Poland regarding pay rates but don’t think it will harm the sport in the same way as has happened over here. -

One thing for sure the riders will “ follow the money” can’t really blame them. -

GB had their chance to monopolise the sport years ago but got complacent,hence the position they are in now within the Sport.Can’t blame the Poles for that. -
Scientists change their mind quicker than the wind ,nobody knows what the real story is.Godfrey is just getting hopes up.Would like to think everything would be BACK TO NORMAL but certainly wouldn’t bank on it.
-
It certainly was a great gutsy ride.
-
He certainly wasn’t pushed Pendelbury unlucky there.IMo.
-
Think the Clubs will have to rethink pay rates over the next couple of seasons given the situation( Club Sponsors ect).That might affect the riders situation as full time occupation.
-
There could be a few more riders find themselves in the same situation regarding sponsors the way things are going with the economy,things are going to get worse before getting better.IMO.

Really good Watch.
