  1. The only way the Premiership can keep an uplift in crowds is to have Ekstraliga rider's on alternative seasons, money the problem though. If Sayfutdinov rides next year his pull drops as everyone has had their fix. Next year they need to try a Laguta, then the next year a Lindgren, then a Zmarzlik, so on & so on. As I said, it won't happen as money isn't available.
  2. The issue was twofold for many as to why they walked away. Not just the standard of top flight rider's dropping but also the increased admission fees. As for increased gates because of Emil & Co, it's only a short-term boost, doesn't really add much to clubs profit margins at all.
  3. Any bets on Pedersen not returning to Peterborough for the rest of the season?? I'm pretty sure his Polish club will be having words in his ear after tonight.
  4. Think I'll hold off for later in the season. I just can't get my head around £22
  5. Does look like the RS reduction (25%) isn't 'team building only' but at the same time it's not that much of an advantage as his new average will kick in after 3 home /away fixtures & his existing Rolling Average still counts. Brennan will need to be really bad to remain at reserve.
  6. Because he's a 'so last year' type of rider bruv
  7. Let's hope they're good at reading the situation & doesn't go straight to spam or in the trash. Could be a long long unread season for Ipswich if the correct punctuation isn't up to scratch.
  8. It's very obvious why bikers don't follow Speedway. There's no relevance to the real world except they have two wheels. Other bike sports you can pretty much buy similar out a shop & use day to day.
  9. 010.3.1 Cut Off Date: No team changes will be allowed after 28th August with the effective date being 31st August. Except riders returning to the team after injury who can only replace their original replacement.
  10. ITV = More diverse BBC = Anti Russian - Pro Government
  11. Nah, he's not for me. I've seen Heeps get round better than that at his heaviest. Emil's a reserve at best, you heard it here first
  12. Embarrassed to be an Ipswich rider he had to cover up the logo. Clear evidence of just 'taking a wage' Tin pot club
  13. As I understood it, if a rider's choice is to compete in the Premiership outside of the 'Rising Star' system they then cannot go back in to it in following seasons. May be wrong though
  14. There have been lots of questions over many year why British riders fail to establish team spots in the British top flight. Even the Championship has a high number of foreign rider's, which in turn see many British riders 'stuck' in the 3rd tier. As a thought, should we have stringent restrictions, i.e. Foreign Rider's; ° All GP rider's with 3yrs+ experience should automatically be 8.00+ (including Brits -25%) ° SEC / SGP / SWC rider's with 3yrs+ experience should automatically be 7.00+ (including Brits -25%) ° New rider's to the BPL are automatically 4.50 & can never be below. ° Rider's over 25 are automatically 6.00 & can never be below. For Championship, add 1 point, excluding SGP rider's with 3yrs SGP experience within 5yrs of BCL signing. Just an idea. Any good??
  15. See what Ipswich have done there. Saved a few hundred on a new race suit & permanent-markers a line down the 'a' & written 'o' 'n'. Thomas >Thompson Just got Emil & Jason in the team but can't afford a race-suit for the new guy the cheap b@stereds Tin pot club
  16. Absolutely, the 1 minute is only for false starts. No excuses for any rider to miss those. Fallers, tape touching etc will be the usual 2mins. Don't see the issue at all.
  17. Anything if they're willing to participate in a sport that has passed all health and safety checks. So, what would you change at Scunthorpe?
  18. What do you suggest that wouldn't cause track closure?
  19. We still have this problem at GP level, Poland's Exstraliga etc, it's not just a Scunthorpe thing of solid-state fences. Scunthorpe is no more dangerous than any other track around the world. We've had rider's suffer just as severe injuries with airfence's on wooden & chain-link fences.
