Daniel Smith

The Stars press release sounds like Iversen's in but in those comments mentions nothing about his thoughts on Wednesday night. Seeing as the Danish league is priority it would be strange to include Iversen and not use him. Wouldn't be the first time that the Stars management plays the denial card come the morning of a meeting, even though the fans knew in advance.

See, another load of bull $#!+ from the club yet again Palm Toft is indeed missing as he rides for Danish club Hoisted. Also missing is Iversen as he's down to ride for his Danish club Esbjerg against Palm Toft's Hoisted. Anyone still trust what comes out the management's mouths?!? https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=2321830881176780&id=113869148639642

Maybe 2 lap match races from the tapes against the day's opposition? Seeing there's no money in it for the rider's they ain't really going to go full tilt at it anyway. It's pointless

Purpose - to add extra entertainment for the fans Realty - boring as hell

The majority of the Sky money went into Russell's pocket and put none of it back into the sport. If he had of done, Swindon wouldn't be in the $#!+ they are now, staring down the barrel of a gun.

The 6.5 ave Pole's have Ekstraliga experience, the best league in the World. 4 ave Dane's are likely to of had their own league and probably 2nd tier Sweden only.

That's a novelty thing when teams move up leagues. When you realise the aesthetics haven't changed people disappear again. Same with teams going down. King's Lynn had better crowds than now in the old Premier League. Every fan felt part of the club and included. Soon as the people that included the fans left the club, the place just feels so subdued and people have walked away. Ultimately, value for money is the most important. Some say the change of race night has been Belle Vue's problem. It may well just be the novelty of a shiny new stadium has worn off and people are not seeing any value in the sport.

As a walk away fan, who is the team isn't an issue. All standards of Speedway can be brilliant. The issues are the selfishness of promoters, inability to acknowledge and treat the fans correctly and value for money. For new fans, they also couldn't care less about the rider's, what they do care about is value for money to continue to come back. 15 minutes of racing over 2 hours, rubbish music, nonsensical waffle from the centre green and appalling stadium standards is all a massive turn off.

Klindt (Covatti) is reserve

It's another habit Lambert needs to break but that will come with time, his gating has improved no end but now has a habit of riding the curb rather than the fast line when in front.

Much of a muchness to be honest.

Quote the correct person, then things won't be missunderstood Edit: Just seen you recognise the error

Lambert dropped a hairy ball dangler there

Jeez, Hajek couldn't of been looking where he was going. Had loads of time to miss the bike

Polish TV love Drabik don't they

Yep, also a bit of luck for Drabik too, Lambert had him well beat

Jakobsen looking decent at the moment.

Why is that comment inappropriate??

At least Poole are trying something while King's Lynn continues with a wobbling Dane

One of the implications Rye will suffer from by reverting back to Saturday is they'll be without at least 2 members of their team to Championship clubs. Also, Premiership clubs will vote against as it will give Rye an advantage at home for the race to the Play-Offs and the bumper pay days that come with it. From a fans point of view Rye should be allowed Saturday's, from another teams business point of view you would dig your heels in and say "no chance". It is a rock and a hard place situation

Regardless of opinion, that just isn't possible and against FIM rule. Simple as that. British Speedway cannot force any rider to prioritise. Get called up by Swedish, Danish, Polish leagues on their race day's British clubs have no choice but to release the rider. You can't just make up some nonsensical idea and disregard regulations. All that will happen is rider's will sign British contracts, get race sharp, sign secret contracts abroad and when the seasons kick off abroad in May throw British Speedway into a frenzy.

So, you basically saying f-off FIM nobody is taking priority over British Speedway? With Sweden given priority on Tuesday, Denmark Wednesday and Poland Friday, Saturday and Sunday how is your little plan gonna stand up??? Where do you stand with Robert Lambert and Dan Bewley likely to get Ekstraliga contracts next season? You want them banned right??? You want rid of Brady Kurtz, Jack Holder, Max Frick, etc just because they have Ekstraliga jobs. You'd ban rider's for signing with Polish Liga 1 and 2 teams?? The FIM have implemented priority race days for a reason, British Speedway doesn't get any for weekend days so we have to work with what we've got. We're not in a position or have enough rider's available to force total 100% commitment to UK fixtures except for Monday and Thursday fixtures. You throw in a 100% commitment rule there will be far more teams fold than continuing with fixed race night's.

Bring in fixed race night's Monday, Thursday & Friday. Premiership takes rider priority over Championship fixtures. Rider's racing in Polish Ekstraliga on Friday fixtures are granted a facility. Monday - Wolverhampton Thursday - King's Lynn, Poole (Swindon) Friday - Belle Vue, Somerset, Leicester (Rye House) Questions remain over Rye House and Swindon's future. Other clubs may want to step up. If neither come to tapes in 2019 it will be 1 big league, home and away twice, no cup matches. The fixed race night's can still come into play as weekend fixtures are getting less in the Championship.

We'll get into a situation where Rye House moves to a Saturday but the away clubs refuse to reschedule the fixtures. Same if Belle Vue go Friday's, clubs will refuse to move their original dates. With Denmark, Poland and SEC, GP practice running Friday's, Poland, SEC, SGP Saturday's a change to the calendar now is pretty much a no go.

guess you haven't checked out the averages before posting that garbage
