So it seems we can understand the scepticism from the speedway media and it isn't some consipracy theory that they are trying to keep this great new project quiet?Does seem a very big project for two ex Scottish promoters to get off the ground and world tour with presumably new tracks in a lot of these places,unless they are doing a ryanair sort of 'close to the MotoGP circuits worldwide' sorta thing.And a worldwide audience will see the launch might be pinched from BSI publicity!!!! The cheek of it,eh Phil

Stranger is i couldn't find out anything about this Franchitti.Only others with the same surname who are in the auto racing business

Guess it all depends on what the visa is and what terms attached are? I guess for instance they aren't coming over on sports visa's,as strangely they don't seem to allow you to turn out for your national team in the UK !!!They also don't allow you to take a second job until you turn out for your first 'sponsor'.It also doesn't allow you to set up your own company,which is in effect what speedway riders do..Although i am not sure,i would have thought it probable like waihekeaces stated that conditions can be set when taking a job in a new country.So surely if you aren't satisfying the terms of the visa it can be revoked?

Well who knows,maybe his mates and his lordship will run their mouths off again at this and it will end up with another ban on top Then again he might learn something out of the whole sorry situation........

As i said before to make sense the ban has to ignore the winter break,and shoud start from the time he signs a new contract........

Maybe they need to be tougher with the visa's.Only get a visa if they give priority and if they start playing up inform the authorities who will hopefully take the visa away.No nonsense accepted

Which is what i said!!!!

Esbjerg v Holsted from yesterday.Looks like i was right with my decision not to go from watching the first 6 or 7 heats.Holsted need to strengthen.And while Esbjerg have made great improvements to the stadium since i first went there,just look at how steep the banking is and the guy trying to get back up,after the first heat!!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5va7dqMhrNM

I am not,but gustix is.He is a moderator on quite a few.Takes up a lot of his time he was telling us before,so i am surprised he didn't come across it or know him.It only took me a matter of minutes to stumble on the post

I did look on speedway friends yesterday,just to see if it is still going,and saw the original that was copied onto here,was posted there.Seemed to be started by someone from the midlands,maybe Cradley fan

As i say,i haven't read anything official,so just going by what others have said on here and guess work

Quite an interesting line-up and set of countries.Good to see the US and Australia represented,although Keynan Rew is spending the season(and next) in Denmark,so well set up.Interested to see how Celina goes in an international comp like this

Far be it for me to keepexplaining,but i think(though not sure) that Keith is refering to the 'proposed' ban from Poland on riders riding in more than 1 other league.So that means if Worrall or anyone else want to do Poland they have to drop one league in the UK if they are doubling up....... Though i have only seen rumours on here about this ban.Guess it might have been in the Spar or some link that i have missed.Well,that is my bit done explaining

All the defence of Holder is honourable,but imo he started going down hill when he became close friends with Ward.I won't say Ward was the bad influence,but you just have to look at his actions over a few years to see he was hardly a good influence.I did meet and see Holder in Vojens when he was there for an world U21 meeting and yes on that ocassion he did seem a decent down to earth guy.But when Ward came on the scene and it was particularly their antics when they were both in the GPs that looked childish even worse they way they were trying to pick on others like Smoli for example when he had his year there. No,it seems to me Holder way on the down turn before Ward had his accident.Sad to see,but if he is saying it has affected him that much then maybe a year out to clear is head is much better than riding when not fully concentrated and confident.If he comes back like the old rider then great,otherwise don't bother coming back if he is just going to be a bad influence on others

I know.I was only pointing out that was the argument against him posted earlier in the thread

Maybe i am mistaken but i thought it had already been pointed out Used being British to ride in the British only NL,then afterwards became Australian.That was the posted accusation,albeit sarcastically.Then again i am fluent in sarcasm,i can understand it straight away

Please post any updates here though as this is where the bulk of posts are and not on the duplicate thread that someattention seeker has now started using and will probably get deleted

Thanks Henry.I saw something that he was flying to Andorra and the only speedway connection i could think of was Joonas

Ok Jesper.Just wondering.Ta

The basic question is who should be penalised.A couple of whinging Aussies who think they are above the sport and the fans or the two riders they would have kicked out of a job if Buster had given them enough notice?Two riders who had possibly done nothing wrong at all......Why risk upsetting two loyal riders(maybe, i don't know ,a Brit)for these two?

What happened to the periscope streams? Have you or your pal stopped doing them?

Yes,wasn't he flying out to Andorra?I was wondering if there was some connection with Kylmäkorpi.Thought he lived there now.Maybe the reason was he found some specialist there after all his injuries

Think they are just going by the examples on this forum rather than Poole fans in general

After years of watching your mob try and play fitba anything seems like good entertainment and value for money

Think there are normally streams for the ice speedway in Togliatti.And very good ones at that.Can only hope that continues for this meeting
