  1. that is why British Speedway is in the state it is in.Fans have had enough.
  2. How many meetings has King done in Poland this season,compare that to his meetings for Coventry and Ipswich,where is he earning his living from.He is never going to get into the Polish big League.Let him ride in Poland full time if he really wants too.He has peaked as a rider IMO.I am not sticking the boot in just pointing out why I think the BSPA have to get their house in order.
  3. I have asked you already on this thread, tell me the reason why King is not riding.
  4. did someone tell you that,or have you just worked it out for yourself.Personaly think it was the former.There is always next season.
  5. Agree can see what's going on with young riders in Midlands and other venues but action has to be taken to get these riders in the PL.Years ago when it was tried and Boxall made a mockery of the averages they didn't know what to do.Imo grading riders would be a better way than averages.I have always said IMO averages are killing the sport.I know we need some control regarding riders though.
  6. I agree with your posts regarding the sport,unfortunately a lot of fans have deserted the sport for the reasons you mention IMO and won't be back.Young Brits should be Pl reserves and not 2nd rate foreigners.If a foreigner does not achieve his assessed starting average he should not be allowed back in Pl the following season.
  7. Or hardly Berwicks fault who turns up for the opposition is it !!
  8. This is where the BSPA have to get their house in order regarding speedway in UK ,introduce rules regarding riders wanting to ride in UK and where their priorities lie.Let riders who want to earn their money abroad go ahead but not at the expense of making UK speedway a joke, plenty young riders would take the opportunity to step up .We have to step back to move forward again IMO.
  9. Agree,if they anticipate the Ref pressing the button fair enough.You see just as many fair starts as rollers brought back IMO .Just holds up the meeting.
  10. I think as long as they are stationary when green light goes on let the race go.but if any one touches tapes and gets excluded DONT allow a reserve or 15 mtr handicap that will deter them from "flyers" and Team Managers supporting their actions Imo
  11. Unless riders produce a certificate for injury or illness any rider that is eligible should be banned IMO .the sport is just a joke now,as people are saying 4blokes 4 laps unfortunately a lot of people have had enough of that.
  12. Do you need anyone to come over and switch the TV on for you!!!
  13. cheers ,thought there was someone.These guys forget who actually pays them their money for the season.Probably be lucky to get his money promised from the Poles.
  14. Depends on the format,is it 5rides and top points wins,or semi final and final which could throw up an odd result, Wajtknecht could spring a surprise.Clegg or Bates are my choice if Bates can stay on and not take anybody out in his style.Hope Liam has a good one though.
  15. Im surprised that Harris was chosen as test rider ,he has struggled with set ups most of his career and I can't see what his technical expertise would be .
  16. The Promotion have not given out any information about this situation so we don't know how many ideas were put forward ,like you say it was not only the financial side that help was being sought.The "experts" might still be waiting for a reply for all we know.
  17. In the 70's Berwick had a number of Div1 stars in match races,not sure if Collins was involved but don't think so.Briggs Mauger McMillan are one that I can remember but there were more.
