Of course we need the boys to go through the system from academy, development league, NL, PL, EL then whatever. The good boys invariably do mind ..... if the promoters can give them every opportunity, the fans can help with that in attending their club meetings. To get our boys to GP standard they need club racing, hence it pees me off when people rave over the GPs but don't support our leagues.

JPB, Jack Smith,Bickley etc are the boys we need to be investing inIt's surely a good start, they learn about everything from psychology to mechanics? Is it money or time and knowledge that these boys need. Certainly track time, I guess having the development leagues and the BNL helps, certain promoters invest in these learning leagues whereas others certainly do not. If only the TV paid more for speedway ala football, then the promoters could do loads more ......

So you've been privvy to the emails between Tai and the BSPA? Is he asking for too much money? Is the money the stumbling block, I haven't a clue, do you? Of course Tai racing in the BEL would help the youngsters, he would lead by example, hopefully give them tips and help, telling them about his journey to the top, he could hold impromptu schools as he would have his machinery here, simply he would be involved in British Speedway instead of doing his thing only in Poland and Sweden.

But as a result of their communism all their tracks are state owned aren't they? But where has all this investment come from? Where do all the thousands and thousands of pounds of wages come from? Is it right that Gorzow council (or whatever it is called) have invested massively into the club, can you imagine any british town or city council prioritising a speedway club over other things? Yes, Manchester has invested in the National Stadium but they're going to get their investment back in rent .... The BSPA have made a start with the Poultec scheme at least. Surely we need Tai to pass on his knowledge to our young riders though by racing here, being involved, being available, being a role model?

Well they have done one thing, built a polishesque track, BV. Good start ..... Poland are so lucky, they have everything in place, as we all know it's not so easy here, no 24\7 tracks, no huge sponsors/promoters, no state owned tracks, few speedway only tracks, small crowds, hardly any funding from tv companies ...... our boys face an uphill battle. Perhaps Tai would like to use his influence in Poland to get Robert Lambert a team spot and macinery chucked at him, he certainly has the talent.

Let us in on this plan Tai so we can see what your ideas are for the future of British League Speedway ....

Should buy the Saturday EDP Meg!! The Sun, oh dear!! 😉

You have to blame the famous IMG/BSI for lack of coverage, surprised they don't have important contacts at the tabloids? Mind you, who reads tabloid newspapers?

Tennis has larger rackets and made if better material, I reckon they should go back to small wooden rackets to stop the fast aces.

I would hope Hans will back up his decision as being correct whatever the result, it was all about principal and so it remains .....

Perhaps BSI wouldn't pay for the coverage 😆

Re Sweden, Robert has only had about 3 mtgs for Masarna and his last one with a dodgy finger. Looking forward to watching their careers develop. Robert will always be a bit special being a fellow Norfolkian 😊

One swallow doesn't make a summer ......

Yep, all part of the family lol

But many do, they should be racing for their fans.

For me it's the racing, there is nothing better than a great speedway race especially if it's between your own team members or your favourite rider. Away wins give ya a great feeling of success and pride. My club is most important and all those riders who have raced for the Stars over the years, with an exception or two The friendly rivallry between the fans. And just recently I have experienced the enthusiasm of young kids, sooooo great to see and hear their excitement as mascots for the Stars Love the styles of the riders, some are so good to watch, just going as fast as poss round the tracks 😍

Is it not in their contracts?

You're wrong about this one afa fans being "fed up" with hearing about Darcy, how crass of you! Why the hell don't you do a sponsored walk or similar for injured riders, I would give as would hundreds of others ....

Love it ....

Yeyyyyy

Talent prevails or does he mean that the senior riders are gaining all the best sponsorship perhaps?

Surely depends the quality of talent coming through, can't make them all into great riders.

Just bad habits, nobody has to say it, self control, something modern day people lack. Just gonna add, including me at times .... not something I'm proud of.

100% Lynn hasn't the same material as BV .... I was amazed at the British Final how it held up, 100% Wednesday wouldn't have been off at BV.

And they would no doubt if they were being paid by the promoters ..... Obviously the FIM and BSI pay out nothing or the Aussies wouldn't have been asking for crowd funding ... The Stars get loads of coverage in our two local newspapers, Lynn News and EDP. Dunno what BSI send them ready for the SWC ....
