  1. Chris Holder wasn’t blocked from riding. Poole said Somerset had to buy him. Somerset said no. Had Somerset really wanted him (and he had been granted a visa) they could have appealed to SCB and used him while the appeal was being held and a fee was set.
  2. Not so. See Gordon Pairman's very clear explanation of this, and other situations, in the parallel 'Loan Riders' thread running on here.
  3. Neither rider was stopped riding. They went to their chosen club, and the arbitration procedure decided the fee.
  4. OK, Ray - can you cite an example of a rider being stopped riding for another club?
  5. The biggest and most-important things to be put on any poster is WHAT, WHERE and WHEN. Anything else is superfluous.
  6. Media Briefing issued tonight: The Management of Berwick Bandits have had great pleasure in the first hours of the new decade to announce that Cramlington-based, Fire Training Services (North-East) Ltd are proud to be title sponsors of the Bandits for 2020. Trevor and James Fenwick of FTS have been closely associated with the club for a number of years and welcome the opportunity to step in to support the team this coming season. FTS provide a fire consultancy service, focusing on the provision of safety training to industry and commerce. Bandits' co-owner Jamie Courtney was delighted and said: "It’s a massive step forward to welcome FTS on board at this relatively early stage and we will be very proud to be carrying the title of the ‘FTS Bandits’ in 2020. "We will be doing our very best to represent all our sponsors in the most professional way -- as we always do -- and we are very excited to bring a very cool brand of the FTS Bandits to the tapes for the new season. "Team race suits are back and we have got some exciting new additions to add to the merchandise range for the new season too. "The Bandits promotion would like to say a big thanks to Mike, Yvette, Jamie and all of the team at Mike Hope of Wooler Ltd for their tremendous support throughout the 2019 as title sponsor." Club co-owner Scott Courtney went on and added: "Title sponsorship is always a season long commitment and it’s never a given that anyone will commit to more than a season at a time. I’d like to say a massive thanks to the Hope family for backing what we do at Berwick Speedway and in many ways we are just continuing to carry forward a vision they had a massive part in creating. "I’m very happy to confirm Mike Hope Of Wooler Ltd will continue to back the Bandits in 2020 in the associate sponsorship area of the club. "We have a few more troops on the ground this year in helping the club generate sponsorship and we will be announcing our sponsors thick and fast as we approach the beginning of a new decade of professional speedway in Berwick upon Tweed. "It’s a real pleasure to be working with FTS in 2020 and we are very fortunate to have the backing of a company that share our passion and vision for Berwick Speedway." The Bandits are planning the announcement of the club's ‘Powered By’ sponsor as well within the coming days.
  7. Those who have seen them, taking everything on and off track into consideration, recommend Zane Keleher over Matthew Gilmore.
  8. He couldn't ride in the Championship, even if he wanted to. No Poles in the good league!
  9. In 2016, Berwick raced at Somerset on the night of the World Team Cup race-off at Belle Vue, and Edinburgh also ran a meeting that night. As the BSPA no longer receive any major revenue (to share out among clubs)from SON or GP events staged in the UK, it is no longer mandatory not to run on the same nights -- but probably sensible not to do in terms of a possibly-reduced attendance. But I don't think the big announcement will be about that, anyway.
  10. But when Scotland becomes independent, and in the EU........?
  11. A Dane at a Wednesday track? Sounds very silly. Better go down the Australian route......
  12. Try Berwick. I think they tick your boxes.
  13. Jye Etheridge can't be dumped by Aces again, surely? He's by far your best bet.
  14. Better than the clique who so badly embarrassed themselves when faced with up-to-date snapping!
  15. I think you'll find that was Ben Howe. David isn't just that old!
  16. Or keep Stoneman and replace another, perhaps more-deserving candidate with a bigger scorer....
  17. A Dane at a Wednesday track? Sounds very silly. Better go down the Australian route......
  18. Edinburgh always Friday, as they have seniority on that night.
  19. Do the Diamonds have a sponsors licence to bring in foreigners, and if so does it transfer automatically to the newco?
  20. The point of signing THJ was as a direct injury replacement for NBJ. Who is now fit again.
  21. Ooooh, what's "reasonable" and who's offered? Or are you just stirring?
  22. Please leave the Championship thread immediately. You no longer belong here.
