Quite Phil. Meanwhile he's suspended pending possible suspension. He might get the wild card in Aussie. -

How can they do that, they haven't yet decided on the length of his suspension? -
2015 Gp Wild Cards
foamfence replied to arnieg's topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup
Why would they pick Emil, he turned his back on it? They could hardly suspend him and then put him back in as a wild card. -

I hear they're thinking of holding swimming events. -

As ever, they'll end up with whoever is prepared to ride on the cheap.

Glasgow will actually get what nobody else wants, much the same as this year.

I think it has been a great success and a winter re-draw to even things up, is all that's needed.

I would have a line several feet back from the start line, once the riders assemble there put them under starters orders, as soon as they have approached the tapes and are looking to be stationary, I would release the tapes. If any of them has committed an offence like tape touching, I would allow the race to finish and then exclude them after the race finishes. Anyone gardening or pretending to adjust their clutch would also be excluded after the race, NO EXCEPTIONS!

Sgp Challenge Final Sat 20th Sept
foamfence replied to screm's topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup
A very good result for the Elite League. -
I wouldn't stop double-ups, they can help a rider progress and also boost his income. Because of the way the fixtures work it can be difficult to get off track employment and a lot of riders are finding PL only is a struggle. I would get rid of the large number of third rate foreigners who are using the PL to boost their home racing income and their riding progress, the league would do well to consider the Draft system which has greatly helped a number of British riders this season. Other suggestions seem good to me, the whole presentation thing needs sharpening up.

World Cup Final 2nd August 2014
foamfence replied to mickthemuppet's topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup
After KINGS Lynn Rosco was calling people for telling him to go with the younger end. Well a few youngsters would have done just as well as King and Stead and might have learned something and gained vital experience for the future. Despite his embarrassing posturing all week and those ridiculous remarks about getting a medal, he has achieved nothing. Woffy was OK but not at his very best, Bomber was entertaining but he's past his best. King backed out of every possible confrontation and isn't a hard enough rider for that level and Stead was out of his depth and like King, isn't an international class rider and never will be. Continuing to select any of the bottom three would be a waste. -

Why have Glasgow, Edinburgh and (sometimes) Cardiff been excluded?

The Doubling-up Rule Next Season
foamfence replied to G the Bee's topic in Speedway News and Discussions
Years ago riders COULD earn a living riding in one league, it also gave them more chance of employment outside of speedway, if they chose to take it. The difference today is costs, engines went many more meetings between services, tires lasted several meetings and even a lot of big names would arrive with one bike on a rack on the back of their car. Unless steps are taken to reduce costs the situation will continue to get worse. -
You could have a British GP at Cardiff and an English GP. After all, don't Poland have three?

S W C - Who Will Be Picked For Uk
foamfence replied to michaelcroucher's topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup
At least two of those selected will be "miles away" why continue to pick failures, it isn't as if we are going to win it? Why not stick with the up and coming riders for a few years? They might fail, but they might also learn and improve, the current lot have had their chances. -

He doesn't ride at the top level and last time he was an embarrassment, especially when he parked his bike upright in the fence.
