  1. I agree with you on this one,even if the sport reverts back to Semi Professional it would not effect the entertainment value IMO .
  2. I think discretion on the night would prevail in this situation,trivial really.
  3. Brave venture IMO. At the price dont fancy it's chances .Speedway is pretty much covered in present Mags £5 a shot for something that appears to "be the same but different" is a big gamble.
  4. So you are saying he has been fined for something he didn't do.Playing with words IMO.What did he own up too.
  5. Was he a New Zealander,or is my memory failing! Sorry brain fade just read earlier Post!!!!!!!!!!!
  6. If this is true there is obviously agood reason for it but IMO it would be a bad move as most of the fans are on the present 1st/ 2nd bend while nobody stands on the 3rd /4th bend as you cannot see any racing due to the height of the safety fence ,also I think the present 3rd/4th bend is a bit tight for 4 riders at the start of a race.
  7. That seems to confirm where he will be next season, BERWICK
  8. Scott Lamb,Dont know what he works at these days but pretty sure he is a regular at Armadale.
  9. Interesting reading in SS, new centre green presenter for next seaon is M Max getting the Heave or is he getting an assisant ?
  10. Fail to see why everybody only seem to concentrate on Australians who dont make the grade, there are plenty of teams had other "foreigners " who turned out to be useless.Work Permits are just an excuse IMO.
  11. Best of luck to Robert really unlucky in his spell with Berwick saw him in the 2 away matches and was impressed with him then had the unlucky injury in his 1st home match (not his fault) Bad injury at Berwick last season still recovering
  12. 1 Stead 2Wells 3Stead 4Wells 5Stead 6Wells 7Haines My riding order if you want a Home win
  13. Although I dont know quaifications regarding work permits regarding Department of Employment,I think if Teams are willing to finance Young Aussies who are going to cost LESS than a young Brit who not does fancy the Travel up North or want too much money compared to an Aussie they should be allowed to sign.
  14. That will do, if they can persaude everybody on this forum to attend Shielfield the place will be packed out.
  15. Young Max is easily the best of the young Aussies that I have seen up this way in recent years ,although Ryan Douglas looked good aswell.
  16. There are a few riders making decenr money for a sport that you suggest is amatuer at PL level.On saying that most Promotions would settle for a break even situation regarding finance at the end of a season.
  17. I hear Newport have offered him a Team Place subject to him rebuilding the Stadium
  18. I think the sport lacks professionalism in the way it has been run, but for some reason seems to think everything is fine which IMO is misguided .There will be a number of fans from various Clubs wondering what the future holds if things dont pick up after last season which was a disaster in terms of Weather and Crowd levels.
  19. Agree,simply put the reason for refusal in print.
  20. How many what you call "Large Companies " are involved in Speedway sponsership at club level though.Not many IMO
  21. Exactly lets see some of the figures that riders call an insult and not worth riding for ,it might surprise a few.The way Wells is acting he will be totally skint next year without his PL earnings.
  22. Lay -Down engines that led to banked and slick tracks .Take banking off tracks and that will slow the racing down and we may see some overtaking.
