Edinburgh 7.30 Fridays

THJ seems to forget when Denham threw his money about,Topinka,Dolan,Stoney,Kildeman Rymel ect.Just let the clubs get on with it.38 pt limit for everybody averages don’t lie most of the the time.

Hope not couldn’t make it pay

Better hope for a good summer like last year,he doesn't like dirt or wet.

If you cast your mind back to Mid 8o’s,84 I think they agreed a wage cap but Berwick( Davie Fairbairn)work round it via sponsorship( which is always the way out), but unfortunately injuries stopped Berwick winning the league.Cribb,McDermott,McMillan,McKinna did not come cheap.

He didn't set the championship alight last season hence his average below 8.Maybe a ploy to stay in employment though.

Maybe that's what May told him as he tried to sign him up again.Cant blame Wright if he gets better offer after what happened.

That is an interesting thought.

Hoping he doesn't get the sack half way during the season maybe,that would come into his logic given what May done last season.

To say he had been offered a better deal with another Team is Ludicrious is a bit off,bet Harris isn't riding for peanuts.Thats Speedway Promotions for you though self interest always at heart of matters. think Somerset have made a wise decision to drop down to the Championship.

Rode abroad after packing in Ipswich.

Could you explain that one,thought the supporters paid admission.They say that crowds were OK last season and the club is in great shape for potential investors.

In the early 60's when George was becoming the star at Meadowbank he drove a Cattle Lorry for his uncle most of the days he wasn't riding, as a lad used to wait for him stopping at the Chippy most nights ,great guy always had a chat.Times have changed ,if you have a bike you think you are a superstar nowadays.

The sport doesn't own these riders a living ,it's a sport if the riders are not making enough money at it they need to do something else to top up their earnings,it's pretty obvious the sport is in trouble by paying more than they can afford.Realism needs to kick in.

Trouble is even your Promotion can't get enough fans through the gate to make it pay for itself ,a higher standard probably means big wage bills which is going to close you down if you believe what they are saying.Promotions have to get together regarding wage cap ,if the sport is going to revive its self.Need to go back and build again IMO .

As long as the Promoters have agreed not to pay silly money for these sought after riders with "attractive" averages or we will be back in the same boat as before.( wouldn't put money on that happening though).

Same as other Clubs if rules are brought in.!

Do what's right fo GB speedway,fans want to see their riders every week,that is a major gripe among a lot of fans.

Its time to tell these 2nd raters where to go,if they are going to miss UK fixtures for the odd meeting Poland let them sit in the house waiting for the Polish telephone call.

Great to see Worky continue in 2019 .

Personaly I don't see any encouraging signs after the outcome of the AGM,looks like another sticking plaster job to me.Disapointing IMO .

Who is going to bail out the Bandits to run next season.

Think it best if “the Buster Chapman Show is left to run his circus”.The Championship looks a bit more creditable although points limit is a bit mean.Its just a joke sport .

Better than going bankrupt and closing down though IMO.The sport is a joke .
