  1. Morning update; Laguta's been let go due to club costs & Buster will operate in the same manner as Peterborough in R/R & guests at No1 to save money as guests are cheaper than a replacement. This could also see Tarasenko leave Peterborough as he was splitting costs with Laguta. @Flappy @Phil The Ace Do your work guys as I don't believe this. Things are getting totally nuts
  2. No, you just get another medical certificate for the next away meeting & so on & so on. You can't stop it.
  3. Medical certificates will cover away meetings, there's nothing the BSPL could do about it to be honest. I still don't see this happening though
  4. I don't think the series is boring just because Zmarzlik is winning. There are 17 heats he's not in but yet it's him that provides the real entertainment when he misses a gate. In terms of pure speed, only Bewley comes close, but he's struggling with consistency & lacks that fearless ability that Zmarzlik has when behind. We're desperate for all the other rider's to show more character, be harder
  5. Thing is, Brady has said that he's left the club financially stable for the remainder of the season & Buster says the team is over budget. One of them is lying.
  6. Even if there was a £3,000 earnings for the winners, Laguta & Sayfutdinov still wouldn't turn up, why should they.
  7. He wasn't "injured" Monday, his withdrawal was precautionary. Laguta is 100% fit.
  8. I've got 2 stories. The person most reliable said that he'll 100% be at Wolves if he come through today without another injury as he's 100% fit. The other is Buster is trying to use Laguta from now on (& agreed by Laguta) for home meetings only. I'm not convinced by that, the BSPL won't have that nonsense surely. @Flappy has said previously too that Laguta is looking for new Premiership team. Not heard that one myself but not impossible, but don't see where he fits to be honest at any other team.
  9. So, were do we take the line from to judge who should or shouldn't be in the SGPs? The same guys are topping the Elitserien too, so who that isn't already in the SGPs (Sayfutdinov & Laguta apart) deserves to be there?
  10. Don't agree it's a closed shop. The ball park is the Ekstraliga & just looking at the top 20 in the averages we pretty much get those rider's year after year. We certainly don't want to see the like of Kolodziej, Wozniak & Hampel in it anymore. The real struggle is, soon, the SGP Series could become Polish dominated if Sweden, Denmark & UK don't get their fingers out their a$$. There's not many U30s showing up & out performing the OAPs but once these guys hang up their Kevlars it's Poland all the way.
  11. Agree regarding Exstraliga, currently 20th in the CMAs, but in terms of the SGPs there's not many ahead of him in the CMAs who aren't already in the SGP worth putting in or add anything to the series.
  12. Woffinden has declined significantly, the World Cup is a concern as he's certainly not were he should be with form. As for GP standard, there's not many rider's in the World right now I'd take him out the 15 for. Sayfutdinov & Laguta are the obvious but I can't pick 15 rider's ahead of him, that makes him GP standard.
  13. Just eead some of the comments & I agree. The SGP's have become a sport of wet lettuce's with one man allowed to do as he pleases. There's no passion from the others to stop him. In years gone by Zmarzlik wouldn't have survived as he'd have had regular trips to the fence. He is rightly & no questions the best there is around, at the same time, everyone makes it easy for him. The SGP series has become Formula 1, it's no longer about hard aggressive racing.
  14. I think the top league will continue. Glasgow still considering going up & Oxford want to be back at the top table. If Wolverhampton don't come to tapes I can see Van Straaten moving Redcar up. A Premiership & Championship with 7 teams each highly likely.
  15. Disagree a little, Anders would cost more than Edwards. Replacement was needed for Jakobsen & on current form (as strange as it sounds) Lambert could be better. This team has improved imo
  16. My goodness me, that's seen as reasonable?? British Speedway really is in the s#!t
  17. Not true. Wroclaw have said they'll not stand in the way for Laguta & it's personally up to him to continue or not. Laguta is committed to King's Lynn (for now) & WILL be at Wolverhampton Monday evening. He is 100% fit.
  18. No new incomings for Peterborough unless more finances can be found. Tungate is available but the deal needs to be financed. Tungate has been asked about his availability from another Premiership club from 1st July (not King's Lynn).
  19. You mean the honest Buster that called a meeting off because he couldn't get a replacement pitgate latch? The honest Buster that called a meeting off because he couldn't get a replacement part for the stadium lights? Public statements & honesty is not one of Buster's strong points
  20. Ask a question, the answer I got - The King's Lynn press release is not accurate. Pickering did not "ask to be released", he was told on medical grounds he needed to rest for around 8 weeks. He fully expected to remain declared & be replaced by a 28 day replacement but the club went a different way. He had no guarantee of a return to the team when fit but a space could be made available if the team required. Buster was not willing to pay his initial pay grade once Brady left.
  21. He did rerun the heat initially so should be fine, it'll now be whether Wroclaw says 'not any more', Poland rules the roost
