In my view it's an attempt at survival and I applaud those who have put their money where their mouth is. If every team had two GP riders and the admission was a fiver, you'd still get some khundts moaning on here.

A guarantee in the contract could be negotiated, GM would still have the rest of the Speedway world and access to the grass and longtrack markets.

If you ordered 100 they would be cheaper than that, especially if you were offering exclusivity. Personally I doubt it will happen and the more likely contract would be with JAWA. You never know though, they might all be on electric bikes supplied by Dyson one day.

Maybe, but I wouldn't like to put money on him against Doyle.

"Better than Rye House," are you just trying to stir up trouble?

I agree (I'm not a lover of small tracks) but it gets harder to find and buy the land for such tracks, so we're stuck with trying to preserve what we have.

I remember Reg riding for Bradford at Greenfield Stadium, in the Provincial League. Reg features among many other great names here- http://edinburghspeedway.blogspot.co.uk/2013/04/provincial-league-riders-championship.html

Well it could have been quickly rearranged or they could have moved on to meeting number two, both less damaging compared to what did happen.

Exactly my point.

Will they be in a position to spend that sort of money?

What is?

I wouldn't particularly want either of them but if you want your team to bond, you should look elsewhere, no I'm not going to explain.

Well riders get spoiled abroad and expect the same here, whatever the eventual consequences.

Some clubs do agree to pay a mechanic, just as they pay for a hired van and transportation costs.

He wont be allowed to after July.

Are they much cheaper? I gave the address because he said Gerhard hadn't answered his Email.

They should enquire here. http://shop.joehughesinternational.com/joehughes/product.asp?GPN=GTR-500

Well it's a good start, if ALL promoters stick by it, then it could be good.

Well it's already nudged GM into developing a better lubricated engine, so it might well 'help Speedway' if manufacturers are feeling obliged to up their game.

No thank's.

Preparation Havelock?

Oh OK then, put it this way. That looks like a team just making up the numbers, rather than seriously competing and I'm quite confident that certain other sides will be 'seriously competing,' even though they haven't yet publicly released their full line-ups.

I'm not comparing it to any but it's weak, has a long tail and a few hit and miss riders. The right leadership might make a difference (as I've already said).

It isn't a good idea to advise people not to go to meetings, whether they 'moan' or they don't, personally I think the team looks weak rather than 'decent' but you never know, the new set-up may work wonders with what they've got.
