Especially as we were all encouraged to vote ! I suppose the club will be all over us when they want us to turn up and cheer them on ?

For a club that's so media savvy. The silence is deafening .....

It's over there in the glove box says Arfur Dayley.

Never mind if the stadium isn't built, BSI are making a killing out of speedway so it's all ok.

Batch on the way down or Ellis on the way up ? who would you choose ?

I know nothing can be decided until after the AGM, but I find it weird that some people are even considering next seasons team without the two best riders from this year. Both of whom are young Brits too. Why would you even think of replacing them with a foreigner ?

Loving this attitude …. the club are knee deep in poo financially, (allegedly ) so let's get in a young Pole ! no one name in particular, just a "young Pole". what about a young Brit? are they worth a try ? You must be a speedway promotor, head straight to overseas, sod the cost.

So the Polish clubs are now limiting where top riders can race, we're seeing a lot of the top guys already sign for Polish / Swedish clubs, possibly ruling them out of racing here. The question is … Will British promotors stand up to them ? For years we've let the Poles take the pi$$ out of our leagues, unknowns coming over and taking the place of British riders and promotors fall over themselves to sign them up, hoping to find the next big thing. Problem is the next big thing could have been the young British rider you overlooked and threw money at the Pole instead. If the young Brit does drag himself up to an acceptable level, ( usually by getting into a load of debt) can he get a team place in Poland ?? Hell no ! They look after their youngsters first over there. Maybe they're doing us a favour ? Maybe this years AGM will put a limit in place to the number of foreign riders per team ? Maybe they'll put the interest into looking after and encouraging homegrown talent over mediocre foreigners ? Maybe the promotors will grow some balls for the good of our sport ? Maybe pigs will fly ?

Bearing in mind Holder has been all over twitter giving away his chickens / horses etc, he's signed for a Polish and a Swedish club and his house is up for sale. I think it's a good bet he's blown the UK out for next season ? Ford should base his team around Newman / Ellis / Kurtz. Young riders who give it their all and won't be swanning off left, right and center

with his quilted nylon coat, he's no José Mourhino

cheating scumbags ??

Matt will be hurting after this year, will he have the guts to base a team around Newman, Ellis and Kurtz or will he shop abroad for big names?

loving the shouts of "who are ya?" from the home fans …. Didn't exactly smoke em did he ?

I love the way the shouty twins are creaming their boxers over PK's speed. He's on Tai's PJR's, of course he's bloody fast !

Why no fork cover for Tai ?

PK on Tai's engines, i wonder how many he's loaned out tonight ?

Stevie Wonder ?

Foxhall ?....... probably been promised the sun, moon and sky by CL. ( As happened to someone I knew about three years ago but mysteriously never happened )

there's some sick buggers on here, I wonder if other peoples pain and discomfort extends to their own families ? just think, the old woman breaking her legs would really make your day I suppose ?

He's pretty sore this morning, a bit battered and knocked about, hopefully should be ok.

Ellis took a hard tumble last night at Cradely. Hope he's ok.

dick

what the whiny bitchers on here fail to grasp is that if riders don't ride they don't get paid. Then they come back with the "ahhh but MF paid them not to" as if there's millions of pounds floating around this sport

This thread is a perfect example of why the sport isn't taken seriously. It's not the overcomplicated rules, (all sports have them), it's the anorak wearing nerd like obsession of grown men bitching over decimal points of averages. No wonder we can't attract new young fans, it's embarrassing.

lights blue touch paper, stands back ………….
