I know this too well, I worked with Adam Shields for 9 seasons, injury took its tool and at the end of his time in the sport he was riding within himself, didn't want to mix. I was so happy when he called it a day and has a happy life back in Australia including becoming world kettle ball champion a couple of years back.

Yes it does, But if a club closes unexpectedly then fines are first imposed by the BSPL, any money left over goes towards debt. You have to take into consideration that if a club closes mid season, it will have a massive finiacial effect on other clubs, the BSPL will try and limit this effect.

Ive watched him a lot and have taken note because he is very talented and very fast. It was at Glasgow a few years ago, can't remember but maybe an U21 final when he was in the mix first corner and got hit from behind that put him on the track beyond the air fence, he was interviewed by the BSN after and swore in the interview about the incident. Since then and I could be wrong, but he does not mix and will back off in any situation if he doesn't have clear air in front of him. I really hope that Im wrong but can't see a future in the sport with him..

I pointed this out 2 years ago, he is very fast when out front but is scared in traffic, you wont coach that out of the lad unfortunately.

Agree, Gary is a good man with a heart of gold but a good choice from Vinnie that could have been influenced by the Fords.. David Norris is now Vinnie's mentor.

Gary Foord no longer works in the pits or does any meetings with Vinnie.

Eastbourne transfered assets to Jon Cook at Lakeside including Micael Mikkelsen, when that went wrong the BSPL took the assets. When Eastbourne under Ian Jordan went pop, The BSPL took the assets again including Tom Brennan and sold him to Glasgow. Under Ian Jordan, the club had money and assets tied up with the BSPL, unfortunately this money was swallowed up with fines for closing mid season so no money was payed out to other debts including rider wages.

So, does this mean that the rider asset bond new/old clubs have to pay to the BSPL when entering a league is no longer applicable? Because its a lot of money to pay up front.

Thank you

Swedish speedway not on TV anymore?

Gutted this is on TNT as my football team is live on SKY Sports so will have to record it..

I don't think they did but I don't know on this. The car parks were full and a good crowd, loads of Eastbourne and Kent fans in attendance, a good few fans from Leicester too which was good to see and fair play to them..

Ouchie

Looked like a Wal Philips special early leydown..

Backing off in close contact again..

He looked a lot better today.

Cooper Rushton looks very very handy.

A new club is born in the south east of England as the Kent Eagles take on the Fox clubs of Leicester. Up and coming riders on view from both sides, any predictions?

Great ride from Chris Harris there, trademark cutback to go between two riders on the line. In the words of the great late Dave Lanning What a super ride.

It's not really important is it, this thread is about Tai.

That's the spirit mate.. If you don't feel its value then don't go, if you want to spend some money that will be invested in the future riders then go and have a good time watching our youth devlop.

It would be interesting to see if the viewing figures for last night stacked up well or not for the fee charged, of course we will never know. I pay for the full service which I think is very good value and payed for last nights extra because I treated like a meeting I could never make, starved of speedway, looked an ok deal for me but understand at that price not for all..

I take it no stream available?
