Less than what Doyle and Emil is.

Could we get Richard Lawson and Nick Morris as guests for Nicolai Klindt and Thomas Jorgensen? Pretty please? We'll take Bomber as our R/S for the night as well...

Christ above we are an embarrassment to "professional sport"

Wouldn't really say VT was much of a team mate in that race, but I still see your point

No it wouldn't Progressive scores after heat 11 TJ - 2 NK - 3 KT - 0 NM - 6 SL 2+1 AR - 2 2 races winners and they've both come from a track specialist former rider for many a year. Laguta would have made no difference tonight, so at least it's a cheap round for Buster. Expecting a big guest for MPT at home against Sheffield with all the budget saved

Subsidising Tarasenkos 6 rides at Peterborough.

The problem is if it's Lynn who release Laguta, he may have written in his contract that he is due some severance payment, which will cost Buster a hell of a lot more upfront. If Buster needs to cut costs he may need Laguta to walk away himself which is unlikely given he's on a guaranteed £X per meeting.

Reported figure is £400 fixed for the entire meeting. Can't blame anyone not based in the UK not wanting to do it

Doyle, Emil, NKI?

£5k - £6k I know that still obviously isn't cheap, but I don't know where people are getting this £10k figure from.

He isn't on £10k a meeting...

Looks like Harris being on standby means he can ride for both teams

Lynn's preview has Harris on standby, which I assume you've got this from. Wolves preview already has Harris in at 1. So maybe they know something we don't.

Two different publications from the respective teams. Lynn's preview has Laguta in with Harris on standby as a guest, if required. Wolves preview already has Harris in the lineup. Is it fair to say that Laguta is unlikely to be at Wolves tomorrow? However, he does appear to be riding for Wroclaw this afternoon.

He's just salty cause they don't have a No.1...

Kemp? He'd be no.1 for me and then the same order

Will only be 1 meeting on Monday and then new averages come in. But I see your point, does make more sense Artem is wasted in ht8, but now with Anders could pick up a 4-2...?

I think Klindt is about to move to 2nd in the averages come 1st July so if we are running R/R only he can take one

Personally, imo I don't think the changes are too bad at all. Obviously we knew Simon Lambert was coming in (that was a given), but for Buster to actually be proactive and get Rowe in for a struggling Jason Edwards is quite forward thinking. I rate him as probably the 2nd or 3rd best RS so it's quite a coup tbh. I don't know what Jakobsen was on (£), but that certainly has relieved some budgetary issues. The unfortunate thing is we still have a massive hole at No.5, and as good as Laguta is and Klindt has been recently you can only potentially rely on them to get 6 to cover MPT, especially when I think Klindt is about to move to 2nd in the averages so only he can take a ride if we use R/R. I wouldn't be comfortable running guests either, but either way our season is already over so what's the difference. Kye will definitely find it hard at 2 if that's where he's going, but that is the price we pay by getting in Laguta I suppose

March/April 2024 in the Championship

Wishful thinking my man

The funds that Buster now has to put in Lynn as a certain crybaby didn't get what he wanted and the fact we have 2 gaping holes and Peterborough have a full 1-7

I posted this in the king's Lynn thread for riders we could potentially look at. I guess the same applies to you guys: Other possible riders to look at from the Championship and promote: - Jye Etheridge - Jonas Knudsen  - Paco Castanga - Lasse Fredriksen - Claus Vissing - Marcin Nowak - Connor Mountain

I respect your comparison, however, it's not entirely accurate as built into my contract is a fixed sum of money each month I will be paid. Unlike other riders (Artem) Josh wasn't on a guarantee/minimum per meeting so his wage would fluctuate anyway depending on his performance. Also, you probably have to see if from Busters point of view. It wasn't his team, it wasn't his money, but now it is. From a business point of view, I can see why Buster tried to negotiate with him to reduce his wages. You've now got an unproven, unfit rider who has been injured for 2 months coming back into the team and you're expected to pay him the same as previously agreed without knowing if he's capable of riding to the previous standard? I agree in some instance if Josh proved that he was at the same level as before then a further renegotiation could take place to honour his original deal.

Totally agree BB. I sit in the grandstand (posh I know) and I counted at least 500 on bends 1, 2, 3 & 4 and the back straight against Wolves. Probably another 200 in the grandstand as well as another 250-350 in the home straight stand and general floaters.
