SGP wild cards 2024
arnieg replied to longmeadow's topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup
Schroedinger's Poles Polish enough to be riding in Ekstraliga as Polish citizens on Polish passports with Polish licences, but not Polish enough for FIM competition. -
There is no long term lease - Some time in the 90s Bill Dore surrendered it to the council and it was extinguished (or he failed to comply with it, and the council revoked it - take your pick). Speedway occupied the site under a series of short (7 year?) leases, the last of which expired in 2008. Option on the new site expired and speedway ceased to be part of council's plans for redeveloping the area. The land was there, the money wasn't.

All I've seen is a reversion to Poles only at reserve. Where have you seen it suggested that all foreigners will be ditched?

Seems very unfair on Buster to expect him to foot the bill for restructuring the Peterborough team (Harris, Tarasenko and Laguta) while denying the opportunity to recoup those costs. Seems some people only want promoters to run loss making meetings, a guaranteed recipe for the sport's demise. I hope that next Saturday is: 1) profitable for Buster 2) a suitably fitting emotional event befitting the ocassion; and 3) not the last we see of speedway in Peterborough

Ipswich v Sheffield play off final 1st leg
arnieg replied to Arch Stanton's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
4 times: Wolves twice, KL and Sheffield -
When was the last time the title went down to the final race?
-
And that guarantees Lambert's top 6 place which means Kvech is definitely in next year's GP
-
I don't understand exactly what more you want the council to do?
-
Two words: Gaming International
-
The council provided land and granted planning permission - realistically what more could they have done?
-
45 included bonus points, the current limit excludes them.
-
Add Ben Cook and Steve Worrall
-
That's encouraging

Tigers vs Wolves (playoff semi 2nd leg) 28/09/23
arnieg replied to SamKM91's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
Sheffield picked Vissing because he was available. Or are you suggesting they deliberately engineered the crash in Denmark that caused his injury? -
Being proactive in replacing injured riders Dropping out of form riders Ruthlessly casting aside solid performers in order to accomodate changes elsewhere in the team Booking decent guests None of these are objectively 'wrong' and are they not exactly the things Poole fans praise Matt Ford for doing?

Glasgow Vs Oxford play offs 26/9/23

The word 'deadline' has a different meaning in BSPL land, something along the lines of 'aspiration' -
Connor Mountain ?

Glasgow Vs Oxford play offs 26/9/23
arnieg replied to Anzum's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
I can't see it makes a hap'oth difference which was signed first. If both commit him to show up then he simply has to decide which one to break and take the consequences. ... unless Oxford get a special 'special dispensation' to use a guest. (And because of restrictions around guests that would probably be Laurie Jye Etheridge) -

Brennan and Jenkins on FIM duty for Team GB in Opole -
From the timing one infers these are up to 23rd of the month (Sept) effective 1 October. But it does look like an oversight.
-
No Hume has dropped below 4 (to 3.87) so from 1 October Rew should be back in the top 5.
