So much so for the Hi tech roll-offs for the fancy Oakey goggles then.Rain means no speedway nowadays . -

Dennis McCleary's contribution to Betwick Speedway is immeasurable and if anyone buys they club it is unthinkable that he will not still be still involved if he still wants to contribute, his knowledge and local contacts and work behind the scenes are vital IMO . -

Proved by his week-end comments I'm afraid. -
Eastbourne V Coventry & Belle Vue Double Header 18th Sept
Fromafar replied to crazysue's topic in National League Speedway
Should he really be riding at this level nowadays,saw him couple of years ago when he rode for Ipswich and he was above the level then(due to his talent).suppose the easy money helps though.Again not his fault ,typical of Promoters in British Speedway self interest . -
Wildcards 2017.....
Fromafar replied to Panthers89's topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup
Whats the point of having Wildcards then,it's for the organisers to have a bit of scope if they think a rider will do justice if selected on their system. -

Agree he is getting back to his best,and he is exciting in full flight . He was only a couple of points of winning the SEC. -
I agree we have get GB back on a even keel even if it does mean lowering the standard of riders that want to commit to GB as their source of income.Leagues with the same riders every week,no blank nights because riders at not avialable,regular speedway night is a priority IMO .Imo there are enough riders avialable if you use NL and newcomers coming into the sport.When the original NL was formed it was make up of unknowns with few "0ld hands" and produced many of the great riders of the 70's& 80's.We have to take a step back to go forward again.!

Fromafar replied to racers and royals's topic in International World of Speedway

Tai took while to warm up.Looked like he did not want to mix it in 1st bends IMO -
IMO the PL needs to promote riders from NL route don't get caught up in paying riders trying to prolong their career and supplement their earnings .The crowds don't justify it IMO .Pay young riders a realistic pay rate the entertainment will be as good if not better.At least they will be avialable for meetings not riding abroad.

As long as they don't pay them over the odds these guys are just looking for easy pickings,Batchelor has not tried leg this season just to manipulate his average.

the Edinburgh Promotion and FANS deserve great credit for keeping the Sport going through difficult times.
