  1. I haven't heard that he's signed for Lynn again....
  2. Of course you can tell who is who, all riders have their own style and way of racing. Riders will never all be equal, whether on similar engines or not, they all have different racing talents and are individual blokes, gating, passing skills, able to attract more sponsors, great with the public, good at set ups, keeping fit, physical strength, dirty/hard, tiny in stature etc etc. It's only the promoters that know what finances they have to chuck about, whether their promotion is lacking etc I certainly don't want to see the most talented guys stopped from racing here, they work hard to get where they are But IF the promoters are paying them what they can't afford mmmmmmm. The promoters are between a rock and hard place, they need to build strong teams to attract the public and sponsors but it costs, speculate to accumulate or live comfortably, bit like life really....
  3. We know he's English but we want him to race for Aus, where his heart is, no probs then...
  4. He admitted at our team announcement meeting that he's not keen on the Lynn track but I thought he was at last sorting out his machinery and gating over here. Then that fateful night happened and that was that...
  5. If the fans called for a cheaper night then haven't booked tickets it must be annoying for the promoter? She is telling you the whole story not just saying it's cancelled, no surmising, you know exactly why it's cancelled.
  6. If the promoters have agreed on Mondays and Thursdays only it must help a great deal, no clashes with other countries, no clashes with Championship teams, they can get the fixtures lists out earlier etc. Listened on the radio today to a bloke called Fred Sirieix who is general manager of Michelin-starred restaurant Galvin at Windows at the London Hilton. He has helped launch the Right Course which teaches prisoners about the 'service industry'. The whole of British Speedway could learn from this guy but at the end of the day everyone concerned needs to put themselves in the shoes of each other and treat one another respectively ......... it's really not rocket science.
  7. It would be interesting to see how Polish 'promoters' would deal with our set of circumstances!!
  8. The double points rule does bring more entertainment as the riders in that race are under more pressure to get an 8-1 and try harder and/or have to tactically slow to let their partner through etc etc I like the idea of teams who are down on points choosing gate positions .........
  9. U've hit the nail on the head, it's the crowds, the fans, that make the sport in Poland, the racing isn't always great but the fans love their clubs. The promotions do nothing special, they don't need to, the fans make the atmosphere. Just like the 50s, 60s, 70s and 80s here.
  10. The loaded averages were for team building at the start of this season only.....
  11. That should read, Poland are behind the UK, we've seen the big crowds, the towns and cities, even counties, turning out to support their teams, now we have what we have...and quite possibly what Poland may have in a few year's time....
  12. We really need to know we have a management team before we go any further, would be great to know if everyone is in place....
  13. If and when the new guy takes over he surely deserves support. How will you know what he's like if u don't take any interest? Up to you....
  14. You've given him a good welcome there..... not!
  15. Heartache for riders in a good position 2 years running 🙁
  16. Yes because bringing in a 'squad' rider can be so open to abuse at the end of the season. I would also rather give a rider who has committed to the SGBP for the whole year the chance of a guest outing, as happened, albeit a disaster for Wolves.
  17. I wouldn't want to see him racing in the final, he doesn't want to race here any other time.....
  18. Hope it is a classic but I'm edging towards hoping Wolves win for their injured guys and for Rory Schlein, what a great year he has had for his two teams, he's missed out with Ipswich so ....
  19. A challenge against Ipswich/Peterborough would've been good although we've not got a whole team fit to go tbh
  20. Poland are relaxing their Poland +1 next year too according to Buster.
