Probably the 'Klindt' factor!!

Well Sheffield are staying where they are (Speedy Star 18/10/18) so not sure if that has any direct effect on Leicester's plans.

He certainly reached a level at the Oaktree last night!!

In the Echo as well PoP

Or whether the clubs actually pay what they promise in the contracts!!!?

Aah ok.

Whatever the Polish Ekstraliga decide, it wont affect Lambert as he's not riding in the top league is he? Or have I read that wrong?

Where would Somerset get the money to pay Doyle again and pay out to buy both Holders?

....or maybe the weekend after ie 16th-18th November now that Wolves have arranged their 'talk-in' for Monday 19th!?

How much do you think Terry Russell would expect to get if/when he sells Swindon?

Whether he stays or goes he said he wouldn';t leave the club - or the fans - in the lurch, so the usual planning continues as normal. The main team sponsorship is a tricky one I guess, but we'll see.

In the Redcar report in last week's Speedway Star it said the AGM was 'in Chepstow in early November'!! So I would guess 9th-11th November?

Well some plans for 2019 must already be in place as some riders are already being contacted!!!

Don't think he's available.

No secret that GM tried to sign Bomber before Poole - BUT his average didn't fit within the points limit by 0.01 or something similar!! The Rebels loss was Pirates gain - in so many ways.

I wonder if Woffy will still be available to make an appearance?!

What rules were ignored? As has been established elsewhere Morris average was lower than Kurtz so was eligible to guest at home and away.

Not sure which SGBP promoters are 'fighting each other'?? Most of the dire straights moaning seems to be at SGBC level!! Some complaining there aren't enough fixtures when they are struggling to fit everything in to finish the season!! For 2019 simply get one or two more teams into the SGBP and set a sensibly agreed points limit; sign riders they can afford and make sure they get priority over any SGBC teams when there are any clashes. Simples.

So looking at the 'Finishing averages' thread it would seem Morris was 'legal' for both final legs anyway, with a lower average than Brady's!!

Good to see that Morris was a 'legal' guest for Kurtz Home and Away after all then!!! Crikey, how many pages on the Stars ve Pirates thread would that have avoided??!!!

Isn't that what most sport, including Speedway should be doing? Attracting big crowds who are often paying more than t he normal admission and making money for the clubs?! Thats exactly what the play-offs do and what all clubs sign up to at the start of each season. There has to be winners and losers - thats sport.

In any sport its the team that wins at the end of the season - whether they have been good, bad or indifferent throughout the season is largely irrelevant. Take the KO Cup - Kings Lynn have scored more points than Somerset in the early rounds (194-191) but may lose out in the final?!

Yes certain club sponsors structured their 'deal' so that maximum money only became available if the team won !!

I would put money on there being a SGBP next year. Not sure there's a single SGBP club or BT who doesn't want it!!

Absolutely true but what about all the rider assets that do ride regularly in UK? They all have a perceived value as does anything else purchased in the club's name. However the value is what somebody is prepared to pay rather than what Matt wants to sell for! Even a list of commercial partners (Sponsors/Advertisers) will have some value to a potential buyer - especially if they get something contractual about continuing financial support. I mean why is Lee Kilby doing all his fine commercial work for Swindon (and others) if the clubs aren't going to continue?
