He was offered a place a few years ago and turned it down, saying that it would be a backward step. Thought it was 51%

But nobody wants him.

And that's definitely his level.

Going for a team of up and coming youngsters I see.

You've written exactly the same thing on other threads in the past, you've had more digs than my gardener. No apology!

Give it a rest you saddo.

Yes! He is no longer "within the sport."

I sort of thought that Berge was the reason that Bellego asked to come to Redcar, they are supposed to be close friends.....Could be totally wrong of course.

Garrity!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Would you like the wooden spoon now, or are the fans as deluded as whoever assembled this lot?

1970 - Malmö, Malmö Stadion (with Bert Harkins) - 4th - 18pts (10) 1971 - Rybnik, Rybnik Municipal Stadium (with George Hunter) - 5th - 16pts (11)

They rode as a team in his day, even in the World Pairs. He did ride for GB.

One of my favourites. Small point= Jim McMillan is Scottish.

Bellego to Redcar.

Bellego to Redcar.

The most important thing is to sign riders who are on the up. The richer clubs do that and compete for the title, the rest are just making up the numbers, whoever they get at reserve.

I think a good number are already fixed up, just not announced yet.

If he can do that on a flat tracker, I think he'd find a Speedway bike a doddle.

A team packed with freefallers.

Even the Aussie?

Well just put it this way, I used to go to two or three meetings a week, now I can't usually afford to go to one. As pensioners go I'm not a poor man, but I have to prioritise and I don't smoke or drink. My logic wasn't contradictory, if Speedway got bigger crowds they'd probably feel confident in putting the prices up even more.

They get bigger crowds and can get away with it.

Other very minority sports.
