The White Knight

He's not that type of person at all. :angry:

Problem is - I don't know them to speak to in order that I might canvass their views.

That question is impossible to answer - as I suspect you know. I do not know how every British Rider in the Premier/National Leagues feel about moving up a Division, and I reckon you don't either Matt. (no offense meant).

Thank you for that Philip. :)

No - I don't - but - in the context of the Discussion it is the way I feel. You may not like that Philip - BUT - I am not alone in this, believe me.

That's your view Oldace and you are entitled to it. I only know what I see - and I believe that League Speedway in this Country has gone downhill since the advent of BSI.

I am talking about as a Full Time Team Member - NOT a Part Time Double Upper.

I didn't think anyone was Gemini. Particularly when I got up this morning. :shock:

They probably do Moxey63 - but - whether those figures would be made public - I just don't know. :unsure: Knowing the way that lots of things are done these days - I would suggest - they would not.

SIGH. :rolleyes:

You may be right - but - they are still Leeching on to Speedway's coat tails and bleeding it dry. Oh!! and let's not forget the bl**dy stupid Rules they, along with SKY, have been responsible for.

One of my favourite Riders is PK. I love watching him wherever he is riding. A true Legend in my book. I like Adam Skornicki too. I used to enjoy his doughnuts (if you pardon the expression ) too.

I only hope that the WEATHER doesn't turn out to be the winner. :unsure:

Exactly.

That is why I don't have you on ignore. GREAT Post. :approve:

And so it is. :mad: I didn't realise we had Simon Wigg to thank for this. :sad:

That is a VERY good point MP2. :sad: It will get even MORE difficult unless they cut down/end the involvement of Foreigners.

Not massive wages are they considering the Riders pay their own Travel and Hotels? I reckon BSI must be very mean if they can't pay Rider's Expenses. Obviously BSI will be making a lot more out of their association with Speedway than they are prepared to put in. CHEAPSKATES!! In comparison to most other Sports I suppose it shows the level to which Speedway has now fallen.

Do we REALLY want Speedway to be part of the Olympics? I wouldn't want it to become involved with an outfit that is more corrupt than the European Union - and by golly that's saying something.

I believe they do not help League Speedway though. Personally I rue the day that they ever got involved in Speedway. They have screwed Speedway in more ways than one - taking Money out of the Sport. If, as Philip says the Riders get more from Sponsorship - it is just as well. Apparently the Riders are paid buttons by BSI. I don't know how much BSI pay the Riders - but - I have heard that it isn't a lot. If this is true - SHAME ON THEM!! It is the RIDERS who are putting their necks on the line - they should get a decent amount from the Owners of the GP Series.

Aye!! - your right - but - we have no bloody say about it. :angry: We only PAY to buy the Product. :mad:

What a lovely Story. Thank you very much for Posting it. - I enjoyed the read. :)

Thanks for that Daniel. :t:

...............................they need water too. :shock: or - am I taking the p***.

WE DON'T!!!! :rolleyes: I think you should be thanking the Premier League orion. For keeping your 'so called' Elite? League going. It may be hard for you to admit - but - Without the Premier League - the Elite? League would be finished NOW!!! So stop slagging off the Premier League - on the whole - it is a pretty good League. I find that MOST Teams riding against Newcastle turn up with MOST of their own Riders. Half the time Elite? League Clubs have to scramble around putting a Team out. What was it the other week - two of their OWN Riders, FOUR Guests plus Rider Replacement? My figures may be out - but not by much. :angry: Fine advert for Speedway isn't it? NOT!! :mad:
