But anyone with the requisite intelligence and a knowledge of the sport would know that the position would be a poisoned chalice to be avoided at all costs. And if anybody actually wanted the job you would have to doubt their sanity.

Seems very unlikely. The top non-Danes riding regularly in the DSL this year were Karpov, North, Kylmakorpi, Lahti and Lampart. Wouldn't be Karpov as Holstebro ride all their home matches on Fridays (and in 2015 he was riding in the Allsvenskan on Thursdays).
-
Not sure that's true. 2013 injured missed entire season 2014 6.49 average in DSL (Kenneth Hansen (2014) and Ulrich Ostergaard (2015) are the closest comparisons) 2015 retired
-
That's his 2012 PL greensheet of 9.22 less the standard 8% deduction for missing an entire season due to injury.
-
Given that Nicki has already signed for Lejonen, Leszno and Holsted this is a perfectly reasonable line of enquiry. Just how many riders rode regularly in Sweden, Poland, Denmark AND England last year (not to mention the SGP and SEC)?
-
Vostock to Mega Lada is just a short stroll, over 5,000 miles (assuming no short cut through China and Mongolia!) ...and Balakovo is even further from Vostock
-
Looks an attractive one to me with plenty of potential for improvement.
-
Lakeside 13 Belle Vue 26 Leicester 38 Poole and Coventry over 100 C'mon you're letting the side down. Let's at least have some speculation...

Welcome back

Kent may not be the best place for a meeting that often has multiple re-runs and tends to over run
-
Do you mean the rider with a BETTER away average than Andreas Jonsson, Chris Holder and Matej Zagar? Excluding fast trackers only five riders finished above Andersen in the away rankings.

Poland 2016 Season Extraleague News
arnieg replied to racers and royals's topic in International World of Speedway
League 2 looks a bit thin. Lublin, Krosno and Pila from last year Possibly Czestochowa returning from bankruptcy and Poznan who seem to be gearing up for a return??? Any other candidates? -
Bacon, Ruddock, a three pointer and a 40 point limit would be my guess then.
-
Still riding in Germany, but judging by results not the rider he once was.

Here's Bradley as an 8 year old in 2007 (so yes he's 16 now) against Bradley Wilson-Dean (whatever happened to him?) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oWuY5jBzlWI and more recently (last week!) beating Ryan Terry-Daley https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yl2rx0eiCNw

Council is funding the development by borrowing the money and the interest on the loan will be covered by Belle Vue speedway's rental payments. As a result I think it likely the rent will be high by current EL standards, but all the good vibes, PR and a decent team ought to see sufficient increase in crowds to cover the expense. At least that is the theory
-
So no posts about Woryna being a 7-pointer then?
-
I have seen him ride in Poland, so presumably I am allowed to comment. He was highly rated in 2014, but didn't make the expected progress this year. I would say he is better than Jamrog, but not as good as Wozniak (and remember he only twice scored more than five points away from home in 14 EL matches - where the race format gives you four points if you only beat the fast track riders). Unless he adapts as well to Brandon as Woz did to Beaumont Park, then I think he will prove to be a poor signing.
-
Why do people keep mentioning Mark Riss? Valentin Grobauer would be a better choice. Kai Huckenbeck would be an even better choice. And even better still Michael Hartel. And that's just Germans
-
Superligen is mainly Wed & Fri, but also some Mondays. However as the Danes use a squad system it may not be the case he gets to ride regularly. And even if he does it is not impossible - only 14 matches. Michael Bech and Hans Andersen both rode for Friday teams in Britain and appeared in most of their teams DSL fixtures
-
Danish second division (I assume you mean Division One) is essentially amateur and meetings are on Saturdays. It has very few foreigners (Dominik Moser and a few Norwegians)
-
5-1 was basically Speedway Star monthly, launched I think at about the same time as the Mail went monthly - presumably with the intention of driving the Mail out of the market.
-
Robert Lambert in Germany 2015:- FIM meetings - none Bundesliga meetings - three Open meetings - five HOWEVER only one of these was on a Sunday.
-
I think you could add the near strangulation at birth of the British League before the season's start when riders and promoters were at loggerheads over pay to that list.
