  1. As great a rider and entertainer as he was,PC seems to be making a mountain out of a molehill IMO .
  2. People attending nowadays are there because of habit and social outing for the evening.There is entertainment supplied by the riders that turn up on the evening.( sometimes good).
  3. Ged is just a man with money that was looking for a bit of limelight.If he ran his business like he has ran Peterborough wouldn't be surprised if the money is running out.No doubt we will get some cock and bull explanation sometime.
  4. If they can be bothered these days.Looks like a lot trying to get some money back from injury insurance over the last month.
  5. The BIG question that needs answered is will Scott get 2 medals a winner and loser.you couldn't make it up.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  6. Should have extended invites to riders who have guested this season place would be packed.Fans are fed up watching different riders every week riding for " their Team"
  7. There would be a lot of metal lying about on starting grid if that was to happen!!!!!!!
  8. B I recall the season you had at Berwick you seemed to have an OK year Moggo was there too I think.
  9. Is he speculating with fantasy figures ,that's just another persons opinion.He is just asking what the average points money is in speedway,not what riders earn through other means.Thats is a problem in the sport they take your money then plead poverty without telling you where the money is going.Are all these Promotions really losing thousands a week or are the just using the sport to help their Tax returns in some cases.Thats my last say on this topic.
  10. Since you seem too know what the average rider earns why not just say, and it not really giving personal and private details of any particular individual .Instead off knocking the guy ,he is only asking a question that a good number of fans would be interested in.It just a bad to say that Promotions are losing Thousands a week if his figures are right.
  11. With Doyle a virtual cert,they have just given up on replacements.How Watt can get in is a joke!!!
  12. I think Lawson will stay and Worrell will be on his way.
  13. I think Lawson will stay and Worrell will be on his way.
  14. The 3 riders you mentioned are TEAM men through and through, Pity it didn't rub off on a couple of others.
  15. There are plenty riders make a lot more money than the average 9-5 jobs person.Not bad for 10 min racing a week ,remember this is a sport they are not forced to do it for a living.
  16. Dont think Summers can take all the blame,since the Berwick incident they all have been inconsistent at various times and the reserves have never really got going all season.Feel for the Promotion though,but you can gaurentee they will sort it out for next year.
  17. SCB need to toughen up the rules for EVERYONE. Also introduce a contract ruling that riders must be in UK till dedicated end of GB speedway season.That way we will stop all this leaving the country.Non Speedway related illness should happen to all riders with a7 day rule if you miss a match ,If they ride abroad in that time it should be extended.Speedway is going down the tubes at a rate of knots.What should be the end of season highlights have simply been turned into non- events.Eg. How can you be race league matches when the league was done and dusted weeks ago.
  18. If riders like Holder and BWD are giving the fingers to GB speedway it's time we sorted them out before it becomes the normal thing to do when you think you future is in othe countries .Cant remember Crump,Pederson Iversen etc acting this way at NL level in the day.Fair enough if you don't want to ride inGB but it's obviously just a wages top up for certain riders.
  19. Agree regarding long bans.The BDW situation in recent weeks has been a complete joke both on his side and certain Promoters if stories are correct.
  20. Holder should have his Visa suspended if that is the case,just taking the p#ss.The way it is worded you can bet it will be a junior at No1 for Panthers. Riders should be here till end of season full stop so they are completely to blame if they are not going to ride. Changes have to be made regarding completing rearranged fixtures.
  21. I know someone who offered to buy Neil Collins a drink one evening at Powderhall to which he replied "No but you can get me a packet of fags" Won't repeat the answer!!!
