Jason Crump/ Scott Nicholls in heat 8 = PROPER SPEEDWAY

I thought you said slick tracks provided great racing Steve??

Poor old TWick.

I think you're missing my point. Why should BSI expect to benefit from the development programmes of any country, whilst putting nothing back themselves? For that matter, why should any country bother to develop riders when they can be used by the SGP without any compensation (be that financial or otherwise)? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> You make soem very interesting points Kevin, but what are the British, Swedish, Polish authorities going to do about it?

I think the grading system is good in that it makes sure top riders are evenyly distributed amongst all the teams, which of course will be even more important if as rumoured two more teams move up this winter. However I would like to see some modifications, so tnat once the season starts and teams are struggling that they can least do something about it. There should never be a repeat of what's happened this season with Coventry - this season has almost put them out of business. We could go with a low points limit e.g. 42 as an alternative, but in the past teams have held on to top riders and just released second-strings. This would not encourage teams to move up.

Just another 'know nothing', who's just sailed up the river on a doughnut. More mischief making from the ill-informed anti-Crump brigade.

Looking at the style it does look like Per.
