If You Could Sign One Ex Pl Rider?
scaramanga replied to Robinh88's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
not from what i was hearing towards end of season unless hes got full time polish club i know hes been talking to at least 1 british prem league club i agree the 45 point limit worked very well and also the amount of good enough riders around to fill the teams up -
what makes you so sure cookie will be ridding for a scotish team
-
after reading the press release from berwick looking for sponsership yhey claim to be the lowest priced track for the prem league just out of interest just how much do each club charge as workington is my local ill start off adult admission at workington £14 when we had the double headers it was £23 i think and you get free race card for that price be interesting to see if there is much difference
-
wouldnt surprise me if chriss mills hung up his leathers after his crash at workington this season
-
personaly i would welcome the 2 minute clock as its not policed fairly some refs will kick a rider out when we feel hes still got time left and some others allow 2 minutes after the 30 second warning has been given and there is riders who do push there luck on the 2 minute rule
-
i think something should be in place that a rider cant come in on a ass7 then drop to reserve and start scoring double figure scores maybe only drop as low as 5 for there first season unless of coarse its somerset as 7pt riders start on ass 5 for some strange reason
-
at least 1 of your list moving if the rumours ive heard are correct and hasnt jack holder gone to scunthorpe?
-
when doubling up was started it was fine as the elite was a lot stronger and prem leagues top riders were going up as reserves which was a taster for them to see if they could make the move next season strong enough to do the job the british elite league now is a very poor product prem league riders who score 3 or 4 points can get regular double figures in the eliete league that says it all

dont know about showers in the afternoon but think the overnight rain could finish it off track not looking good now never mind after more rain -
shows just how little you know the track base at workington drains away too much during the dry periods allready thats why even after watering the track drys out during a meeting the problem last night was the fact that during 2 days in the week we had more rain than we had in over a month previous resulting in flooded areas which untill the flooded areas drain away then all the other water trapped in the surounding ground starts to drain away amd also as you were not there maybe keep your opinions less public there were plenty there and i was one of them the blame looks to stand more with berwick than anyone at workington speedway and thats everyone riders track staff and certanly the promotion
-
they couldnt due to planning restrictions on a sunday as there is a church not far away and 7.30 is the earliest night time start they could have tested in afternoon before 4.30 had very heavy rain during the week so not sure if its all down to that or the put more water on today and found the base allready holding water
-
some good points there and at the early part of the season i would agree with you about josh but im not so sure about the second part josh dosnt look as keen when riding derwent park rene for me has been big dispointment very rare have i seen him try to team ride always has a go at the lower riders when they finish ahead not a team player in my eyes and as for jengas post well you never know if its his sarcastic humour or his actuall thoughts up untill a few weeks ago i never rated wells atall but hes been 1 of the best riders for workington in some of the last meetings proberbly since being dropped from elite league which is also why i think josh aint as bothered if riders want to save them selves for the snobs league then dont ride prem league we all know the elite league is now the easy option compared to the competative prem league
-
yes theres some teams and riders your not allowed to say negative things about and when you try and make positive posts about others they get deleated aswell its typical speedway forum mods are just like the bspa look after your own at all costs

intersting without being there its hard to judge i hope theres enough video evidence to back up the truth whatever it is if theres people to blame riders and refs can be punished by the bspa not sure what can be done about pit staff maybe just ban them from bspa controlled events riders have been banned before for throwing punches -

i agree but just how do you pick a neutrall track and still have the riders from all clubs involved or all the top seeded riders and some riders who have mooved to a new track might still be the fastest most experienced rider at his old track i think sheffield is a great place to hold such events but maybe the southern fans dont like traveling north well im about as far north as we get in sppedway terms so sheffield is still a few hours drive south so its not my local track but nicely postioned somewhere in the middle for all traveling fans its got good facilites good parking right out side and a track that can produce some good racing if prepaired right -

i hope this is right as id not like any rider for my team doing such a thing what would you class as a neutral track most riders ride all tracks at somepoint and only way to make it neutrall for that years race would be to not allow a home rider in the meeting which would not really be very good for numbers through the turnstyles -
