Get well soon Starman xx

I'm obviously more compassionate than the Poles. I don't believe in kicking someone when they are down. Everyone knows the sport is risky, seems the Poles want the riders to take ALL the risk.

Is that the norm? I'm obviously very naive but for clubs to expect riders to pay back part of a sign on fee when injured is morally wrong.

Regarding it being a £10 sport, I agree it is IF there is no added entertainment. What clubs need to realise is they can provide added extra entertainment at little or no extra cost. It might involve some effort and use of brain cells (assuming they are available ) but fans would be more willing to attend if they weren't expected to stand on terraces for what seems like hours between 15 races of one minute duration. there have been numerous suggestions for extra entertainment muted on this forum, some of them very good. Such a shame few promoters read them

Thanks for the reply. I must have missed any optimism amongst all the negativity. I've been critical of Buster in the past but there comes a time when moaning posts on repeat become tiresome ( not aimed exclusively at your good self ) I will await the announcement before passing judgement on the future, my feelings on the past are well known lol.

So if they hadn't issued the PR saying info would be given in January you wouldn't moan about the lack of info from now to then? Just asking

Can someone refresh my memory please. When was the Lynn team announced in 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016 I'm pretty sure at least some of those seasons it was after Christmas, can't remember all this fuss then.

Thanks for the replies, I won't say clarification cos it still seems as clear as mud to me. It's ridiculous when two loyal BRITISH riders are denied the chance to earnr money in their own country but every Johnny Foreigner and his brother can do so. What a load of crap!!!

Read lots of comments on social media about Scott & Ed being unable to double up but I haven't actually seen the rule it refers to. Can anyone tell me exactly what it says please?

I rest my case

I fail to see why Lynn would tell their fans that a rider has signed for another club. It's not as if Danny King rode for Lynn last season. All it would achieve is negative feedback along the lines of why isn't he riding for us.

Probably money talks

Remember it well. Called Wheels, at least I think it was, and broadcast about 1030 in the evening, can't remember which day of the week tho.

I'm Spartacus

and given the small differences in average between him and Morris it's probably finances that decided it, but that doesn't fit with the anti BSPA/Buster agenda does it

Slightly off topic but DWP you mentioned you might do a summary of the 2017 season from your viewpoint, is that still on the cards? I'm sure a lot of us would find it interesting.

Except those in Mickey Mouse outfits on a speedway bike. Thought I'd say it before waytogo or GRW

I seem to recall a rule limiting the number of assets a club could have......there again I could have been dreaming

Anyone who actually believed that probably believes there are fairies at the bottom of their garden. The thing that will tempt the big boys back is MONEY, pure and simple.

No they are not cheats merely self interested promoters exactly the same as all the others. If it benefits them they will vote for it. It's been that way for decades and until or unless there is an independent body in charge of the sport it will be the same in ten years time, always assuming there are any speedway clubs left of course.

I'd suggest that if Doyle doesn't ride in the UK in 2018 it will have far more to do with wage demands than any rule introduced at the AGM.

I applaud, with a standing ovation, the demise of the dingly dangly double points do dah thingy fixed race nights I'm not really bothered about TBH, would far rather a curb on the number of double ups/down. One rider over 8 is fine by me as long as every team has to track at least 2 Brits. Will await with interest the solution to time wasting at restarts. Overall is it enough to make me want to be an avid follower again.....probably not cos it has so far done nothing to counteract drawn out meetings or improve racing.

Dave provided all the stock for KREST's shop at Lynn and was a delight to work with and one of the most helpful people you could hope to meet. A true gentleman who it was an honour to know. RIP Dave.

Hello there No I'm saying Lebedevs is more entertaining to watch
