  1. Not in GB ,maybe abroad though.If the Visa was An issue( don't know if it is) he should have taken that into consideration before he refused to ride.Silly Boy.
  2. The riders are dictating everything,tracks, weather, what team and country they want ride for on that day.Fans are fed up with and are deserting in droves.Promoters have to stop paying them money they can't afford. NL seems to be a good product but even they are going the same way paying over the odds and R/r and guests.When the original 2nd division started teams had to find juniors is looking for riders and it produced some good riders.
  3. We need to get back to 1 rider 1 team ,only riders that want to ride in Uk.The sport will drop a level ,but in a few seasons should be on the way up again,there is a lot of new young riders about and given the chance we will unearth new talent,any rider who can't make it pay should just retire and find weekly employment.Im sure they will realise they were making decent money out of the sport.Fixtures should be able to be fulfilled much easier and fans will see regular speedway again.
  4. How many Teams have come to Armadale with their own 1-7 this season.Not many !!
  5. Needs to be stiffer rules regarding re arranged fixtures or Points awarded.Proof that this doubling up/ down lark has killed the sport.High summer and hardly any weekly speedway at a lot of tracks.
  6. Thats getting to be the majority in British Speedway now though!
  7. Agree 100% regarding the riders.
  8. Like you say too grippy for SOME RIDERS not all.Poor attitude from SOME RIDERS not all.
  9. Can't blame Buster they were piss#hg him about .
  10. Agree,it's speedway racing ,they control the bike the throttle works both ways.Buster says the first 4 races were won in 58 secs so the track was rideable .Too many complaints from riders nowadays ,they really should considering other lines of work.Other forms of bike racing don't seem to have attitude to adverse conditions they make the nessessary changes and get on with it.
  11. They wouldn't apply for the supermarket job though, unless the were just wanting some extra pocket money .
  12. Who replaced Covetti,I though you could bring him back in straight swop for that rider?
  13. This set-up lark is just an excuse,Cook and Worrall have been riding for years if they haven't learned anything by now their in trouble it's only some dirt on an oval.They all make the same excuse though.Good riders can have a bad 1st ride but generally sort it out.Woffy maybe should give them his machinery set up for Polish tracks is his intentions are that good.
  14. Decent meeting,some good racing,for what it's worth Ht 14 Graverson went hard under Jye but never really passed him into the bend and Jye was caught on the outside and Graverson did not give him any racing room and Jye ran out of track,he never touched him though.Though Jye was impressive against strong opposition ,he certainly is improving.Sheffield are a good team and will be thereabouts regarding play - offs.GP superstar Bates needs to stop kicking out at riders after the race when riders beat him,he is no angel himself.
  15. It's like musical chairs in Speedway these days.There will come a day when a rider has signed for every team in the league in 1 season.Farcical!!
  16. When you watch the crash that caused Nikki's last injury ,he was very unlucky to be in the wrong place at the wrong time very simple crash comparing what we see in the cut and thrust racing in GP's these days.Your destiny is not always in your own hands in Speedway racing. I think he would be wise to retire considering the nature of his injury.He's been there got the tee-shirt and done it all ,he has nothing left to prove.The sport would miss him but really can't see him being the force of old in the present GP line -up.As he states money is not the motive for him coming back.Hard to resist though at his level.
  17. Thats the way the sport is going,they would be worried that a wet track and the riders will complain.Its soon going to be any rain forecast for the WEEK and the meetings will be called off.!!!
  18. The Glasgow promotion must be wondering if the have got involved in the right sport.They have raised the profile in Glasgow and the clowns running it in GB are bringing it down fast.
  19. Has she not had the operation though.
  20. You could get 10 riders from the tapes at Pardubice though,were talking Peterborough here!! Put the fishing rod away!
  21. Can't blame Buster,riders need to take good look at themselves.Speedway is dying on its feet mainly because fans are being taken for granted.
