  1. I think he'll be out of his depth to be honest.
  2. Assuming we're going to miss those months. There'll be some moaning from some riders about all of this though.
  3. That was to allow a leg injury time to heal, at the time both his clubs indicated that they'd be having him back, we shall see.
  4. Kelvin has confirmed that he's doing the GPs, so that's one bit of racing you'll get to see.
  5. I doubt you'd get Bridger, he's into body building now and rippling with huge muscles, so I doubt that he has any intention of being a Speedway rider.
  6. You really need good riders plus riders who are improving, signing factory floor sweeping will just revert the situation to two and three years ago.
  7. Do you actually know how each club voted? Anyway someone posted a list the other day of all the top internationals who would come in under eight. We don't actually owe riders work, anyone with an eight point average will already be earning far more than any of us, just riding in Poland or Sweden, with the possible exception of Craig Cook. Speaking of him, I think all the British riders should be signed up first, before we start bringing in overseas riders, look after and prioritise our own.
  8. When the words "hoping to bring in assets" was used, I assumed it wasn't someone who was in the line up for the last few seasons. You could well be right though.
  9. The only asset I can think of is Branford.
  10. I think it means that as long as the tapes aren't touched the start is valid. At the moment we have a situation where a referee can continually call a restart, when TV and video footage shows that they aren't necessary.
  11. Chris Louis say's there will be no restarts unless the tapes are touched and no warnings.
  12. If you look at the end of season averages, I think it only affects two clubs and some didn't have a single rider over 8. I would agree on the face of it but the devil is in the details and there might be more to it than we yet know.
  13. They usually release it on the following Tuesday, hopefully Speedway Star will get an early statement that can be included next week.
  14. It wont quite work like that as there are far fewer fixtures than there are race nights, so not all teams will necessarily be racing on the same night.
  15. Well they've settled on Hob-Nobs and Nescafe, so far.
  16. In the event of a rain-off and a Premiership fixture having to be re-arranged, we would be back to the situation of doubling-up clashes if a Championship club had decided to use that particular (and previously vacant) date but you're right in that we await clarity, or at least what passes for clarity in BSPA terms.
  17. I understood the idea was that Mondays and Thursdays were Premiership only.
  18. Does it include brown envelopes for dealing with British promoters?
