PHILIPRISING

BUT it's not ... riders are considered assets who can be loaned or sold. They are not. They have no contract so can do as they please and it is time British speedway broke the mould and accepted the same freedom of movement that occurs in Denmark, Poland and Sweden to name but three.

IN Speedway Star this week Alun Rossiter says that Doyley (Jason) is still "owned" by Swindon. Is he just some sort of commodity or a human being? Very much doubt that Jason accepts he is "owned" by anybody and nor should he.

RUMOUR has it that one of the qualifiers will be held at the NSS.

IT was stockcars ...

THANKS ... lot of guys relying on Poland for the bulk of their racing income

A request of Ghostwalker... can you keep us appraised of the 'top' riders not signed by Swedish clubs for 2019?

SOMERSET admitting in Speedway Star this week that they may not compete in the top division ... if there is one.

APPARTENTLY there will be no visit to the House of Commons this year.

PROBABLY not a lot although Jason would probably prefer the journey home from KL to Norwich rather than from Somerset after a meeting

WILD cards etc are selected by the FIM SGP group comprised of three members ... two of which are from the FIM. Of course they will confer with the BSI rep but can out vote him if necessary.

KOLDING is bigger than Haderslev, has more hotels, restaurants, etc but is about an extra 30 minutes drive from Vojens.

Best choice by far

SOMEONE told me today he is retiring. Fed up with speedway.

PROBABLY because there is a paucity of riders who can cut the mustard at that level. And it is only going to get worse in the immediate future as some in the older brigade start to fade.

MY mistake ... meant Lodz. Polish second division is of a much higher standard that what we see in the UK.

DOUBTFUL that his performances for Lublin will be the only criteria for a wild card if he doesn't make it through the qualifiers. Will be very surprised if Lambert isn't an SGP rider in 2020.

NOT much you haven't seen then ...

TAI has a Polish tuner

YOU'RE obviously a mere youngster... good to see however.

ME too but all good things come to en end and, frankly, not sure he was still 'putting bums on seats' ... not even in Denmark.

ADELAIDE or Ipswich (in the general vicinity of Brisbane ... doubt whether Vojens has changed at all. Might need a Spring clean.

A WORD in the ear of Chris Morton about the construction of a new track would be a good idea. Cannot be the same size as the one CM designed and orchestrated at the NSS but a scaled down version is feasible.

IT will be ...

FANS ... as previously stated, racing at the Market is greatly improved. The whole package is terrific.

ON the contrary ... numbers are down because many fans are bored with places like Malilla, Krsko,Teterow and Hallstavik. Prague is very popular by contrast.
