Like KK tonight!!!

Lost the plot?

The other riders rode!!!! Holder didn't!!

You will get told at the rider introductions .

Depends who Sedgy is riding for on the night!!! he is in a no win situation on this one.

Fair enough,but what has brought this to a head is Poland saying to Jack Holder mid- season, we want you for rest of season that has to be put a stop to somehow.Its obvious that the money is better,but a little loyalty has to be shown.Not just a bung to his GB Promoter to make it alright.

I don't want to see foreign riders banned if they commit to GB for season ,you have fair point but 6/8 years is a bit long,perhaps they should have clause that they have to buy out there GB contract if they want to concentrate on abroad.After all the British Clubs are training them and paying them to learn their trade.

I Actualy think this doubling up/ down in GB is causing a lot more trouble than the foreign missing riders.Only my opinion though.Ps Restricting race nights in GB is a major problem that would be difficult to solve IMO

Bottom line for me is I only want to see riders committed to the sport UK ,I know that's not everybodies" cup of tea" but that's my opinion on how to revive the sport if that's possible in Uk.

A bit of exaggeration about number times per week,while clubs have different race nights riders on average only race on 2 nights in any given week perhaps 3 if the team is on " Tour" which is infrequent these days.You know fine that 1 race night in Gb will never happen given the situation regarding Stadiums,the riders who want to ride also know that fact, so the ball is in their court.Speedway is a shambles in GB.Dont think it will be solved by the present people running the sport.That has been said for years now though.! Not sure what you mean by no2

Nobody is saying ban anybody, providing they commit to racing UK as their first priority. A lot of GB and foreign riders riding in Poland will tell about the burst bubble when it came to getting paid

Agree.

I think it's pretty obvious that GB has to go back to basics, but year after year we seem not to recognise the we are not the force in World Speedway any more.A few of the top riders are just using us to top up their earnings and don't give there all it saving for abroad where their earnings are much bigger.

Exactly!

Agree,just telling us that Jacks not going to get a ban!!!

Hot air

Think it is hard to put all the blame on Buster, he's working with a committee who stab him in the back at the blink of a eye.Self interest rules as usual.

Its hard to figure out how they could mess up the fixture list so badly,Teams going weeks without meetings!!! Then still visiting Teams are still not full strength .You couldn't make it up.

Steve Lawson is mentoring him (I believe) Richards dad.

That Workington Team flatters to deceive.

When it is time to move on fair enough .The situation in British Speedway at the moment is unexceptable the way the fans are treated.What we are watching is not Team speedway,it's whatever 14 riders they can find on the night including guests and R/r.

Like I said I don't mind how many Countries they ride in but GB has to be their priority.There is a crop of Young Brits coming through they deserve a chance in their own Country,rather than Young riders from other countries .Poland certainly look after the young riders ,we should look after ours.

We are seeing very few or the best riders in World regularly in GB now,and even then only when it suits themselves ,I just want to see riders committing to GB and not messing us about.Race all over the world if they like but Britain the priority.Good Speedway doesn't always need the best riders in the world.
