  1. The same way way we tolerate your trolling on Wolves threads
  2. Is it not who you signed for first.Hans first Danish team failed to come to the tapes.As he was aiready signed up for poole they had priority.He signed for next Danish team at a later date.
  3. I think so called sports like football are closer to wrestling with all the ducking and diving that goes on.
  4. Where did you get this assurance that the pay rates in the PL are way less than £200 per point.You started a thread on pay structure stating that all riders in the PL were on £200 per point minimum and were taken to task by posters saying a lot of riders were on a lot less than that figure,but that does not mean many were on more including riders like NKI
  5. Not sure why this is such an important issue with you but you need to downgrade your 100 pound per point min figure in the championship.A rider I know has ridden in that division for 6/7 seasons and rising at times to No1 and at no time has been paid anywhere near that figure.
  6. could not disagree more the problem is clubs insisting on riding seven days a week. Try holding down a job and asking the boss for time off sometimes three times a week to compete from Manchester to Plymouth to Kent and all points inbetween. I once worked with a cyclist who rode for GB abroad and allways used his holidays to compete. Then one year two international competitions came in the same year ,he used his holidays for the first one and asked for time off for the second,they refused and told him if he competed he would lose his job.And that was to ride in something like the Olympic games what chance a rider in the third tier an a minority sport like speedway.
  7. What I can tell you.I know a top NL rider who scores double points home and away who has sold his van and is going to get himself a proper job. He says he does'nt earn enough to risk life and limb every week.
  8. As a Wolves fan Ive complained about the tapes for some time. Amazed the Wolves promotion have not done anything about it.About time said start marshall was put out to grass.
  9. Being posted on facebook by FIM grand prix that chris holder has been served with a 28 day bann for withholding his services.
  10. You are a pillock sir.the problem with fans with tinted glasses,they only see riders from the same division as their team.Thomas Jorgensen has waited several years for a promotion to give him a chance in the top tier.
  11. Got the injury chasing Liam Carr and crashed with his team mate Jon Armstrong.
  12. Your right screm he is back at Peterborough albeit short term till Lambert's back.
  13. You quoted what you wanted to suit your agenda.what you failed to mention was a newcastle official told the ref. that all riders were ready to go when TJs mechanic was still trying to repair his bike and cookie bike had not been warmed up.And you wondered why TJ just made it and cookie did not. Your line, I stand to be corrected but im sure I saw Matt Williamson warming up a bike for Cookie, Pure speculation.
  14. Not true. He was guesting but pulled out to ride for Kings lynn
  15. Bit of silly analogy.Speedway riders are self employed footballers are not. For your post to make any sense you would have to put riders on 3 or 4 yr contracts and not sack riders when they have problems with form or machinery plus would you be prepared to pay increased addmission prices
