Good old Nigel!!!

I think I like the above post!:-)

See what u mean . . . . I'll live in hope that the young Brits will come on in leaps and bounds through the new system so good for all :-)

He won't be a reserve rider will he, too good!

Richie Worrall tweeted that he is excited by the prospect of the new rule, reckons he has done all his learning in the EL . . . but what does he know?

Did u not see the recent Woffy pic with him wearing his Monster cap in the hospital lol. I have my doubts that he has taken his cap off since being given the sponsorship! I reckon the 3 green stripes will be very obvious in Woffy's 2014 attire!

I meant one rider one lap, a season long comp perhaps sponsored by whoever, perhaps a comp where the winning pot could grow over the season with sponsors adding to it over a season :-)

I'd still like clubs to allow the away team a chance to get out on track before a meeting, giving those riders a chance to get set up, for the start of the meeting anyway! The promoters are the only ones who know how much they can afford to pay the riders and what their demands are so it's a waste of time imo suggesting the strength of teams we want . . I'd also like to add flying laps to the evenings entertainment and yes I like the idea of perhaps 3 6 lap races, reserves, 2nd strings and top scorers?

We only get our national team together for BSI's benefit anyway!

Why don't riders learn to wash them properly!!! Perhaps it's a little job that some lovely supporter would like to do for their club, akin to washing the footy kit haha

Yeah all of them Who could resist

How much do BSI rely on Poland for their income, less now than they did through sponsorship and tv rights?

Done and my husband, just 3 children now to pester! :-)

Cheaper for promoters! They can't afford to pay all their top men for another 3 points! And the lower order riders get their full quota of rides with the TR . .

Because he's Swedish and they wanted Swedish representation because of the Swedish authorities who pay money for the priviledge of having a Swedish GP!

Lol, these guys have got to get through the qualifiers I guess, it's BSI's baby, the World Championship, they pick who makes their competition viable . .

Hahaha I'm sure every Scottish fan knows exactly how to paint their family tartan

Such a shame that the stadium owners won't invest in the stadium! I guess Cook and Duggo just have to keep pushing? Re the merchandising, I really like John Cook's leather jacket with the Hammers logo on!! Of course they should get some merchandise done for the fans, if it's cost that is preventing it, couldn't they take orders and only get them done when the minimum order number is reached, get them out for Christmas!! There's gotta be companies out there willing to do small orders?? Johnstones do sponsor some sort of football competition I believe so they may be up for it?? Paint can be £40 - £100 a gallon depending on what it is .....

Great reply Hunty I guess we need to approach our promoters re helping? Working parties etc probably go on every year, I know they do, but let's give our promoters an idea about what we think needs to be done? Maybe a paint company could be approached by the BSPA (Johnstones?) to sponsor them with paint (probably been done before?) as a whole for advertising at every stadium?

I know that Gustix BUT there are things that the speedway promoters can do I'm sure if it improves the stadium, paint, repair, clear up etc ............. all fans moan about how old and decrepit stadiums are, perhaps they could do something about it, working party etc? Just a positive thought

Was thinking this morning how I notice things that aren't so great about our stadiums and which could be put right with a little effort. So why not start a thread to give our promoters an idea about what we think could be improved . . Kings Lynn: nobody has done more in the last few years than Buster to improve their stadium and he's still going strong but I'd like him to make sure the tannoy system is always loud enough on the first bend, I'm also wondering if there is anything he could do about the centre grey, I realise it gets a lot of hard from the stocks and bangers but I'm wondering if it was painted in places if it would last with some touching up during the season? Might be a complete waste of time I guess! I'm a huge fan of flags too, those were the days when we had them up in the centre green etc I'd also like to see pics of all the Stars teams over the years put up in the bar, celebrating the history of the club . .

Doesn't he put some of it back though ........

Surely with the advent of digital tv, speedway was always going to be televised. Digital tv is the only reason that BSI/IMG took on the world championship ....

So they're waiting for the FIM decision . .

Get the Aussie riders to do some race commentary, love it lol
