interesting that i tested the new website to renew WSRA membership and it wasn't facebook linked as guessed by gustix

Nephew

there is a new WSRA/Museum website coming shortly

don't think Poole are one of the bigger payers, certainly weren't before, but the riders know they will BE paid and that makes a big difference

have you ever seen Wright around the showground?

if Ellis is number 2 i can see him getting a massive amount of bonus points which obviously don't count towards team building, so could help further along the line

there WILL be a big financial crash in Polish speedway, there are teams that struggle to pay riders now, give it time

as BluPanther put, wouldn't it be nice to have a Sunday to be able to push the top league for that exposure, not a Monday or Thursday. what do they do in Poland when there's a crash, don't they get held up? maybe they seem quicker because they have the 2 minute clock and know where they stand with it, and isn't that happening over here next year? tracks are PURPOSE BUILT as i said, which means they are ready for speedway, they don't have to rely on renting a stadium that is used for bangers or greyhounds, so other than everyone in the UK building their own track, what is your solution? i think some people might be blinkered thinking that if the top riders in the world are riding then the racing will be better, when that definitely is not the case. basically, that "million miles apart" is down to them having purpose built tracks

what are Poland doing different to the UK, other than having government funded teams and purpose built stadia?

the one thing visitors to the showground will get in 2019 is entertainment. a mix of gaters and racers and on a track like Peterborough i hope fans can get behind it

pretty disrespectful towards a lot of people on this forum that have been going to speedway all their lives, you're not alone, but you really don't realise how lucky you are to have had a chance to support the same team for so many years. i'm from Wimbledon, grew up going to Plough Lane (football & speedway), my grandad worked at the stadium, so did my parents (they met there), and now look at it. i've been involved riding at Canterbury, Reading, & Exeter, but you talk to supporters of those clubs you'll realise you're very lucky at Kings Lynn. think of all the changes at the stadium, used to be a total rubbishepit, but i bet you have a more comfortable spot up in the stand now. i bet you used to be negative about stuff even when you had Lee and Jessup as top riders but still lost, there just wasn't the internet to vent it. chill out, support your team, get behind them, Kings Lynn are a top club again, this year showed that, embrace it man!

i might be wrong, but you're beginning to sound like a spoilt child that's not getting their way

doesn't he qualify on both counts? that's why he was allowed to ride for Eastbourne isn't it?

i remember a few seasons ago at Kings Lynn Kenny Bjerre was the only rider that didn't have Roger Warnes Transport on his fork cover, i asked him and he said he wouldn't be there if he couldn't, it really is that important for riders

there comes a time when one needs to look forward, not back

missed out on Flint? you must be one of the very very few that didn't realise he was nailed on for Berwick when the time came

hope so, he's superb around the showground

unless they started negotiating and realised that with a lower limit next season a certain calibre of rider can now demand so much more

i miss the days when EVERY club would have speedway March - October

how many other PL teams have been named though? CL are naming, but PL are pretty much waiting until EVERYTHING is sorted i would imagine

i'd take that i think Iversen will up his average considerably if at Peterborough, i'm not sure KL suited him after his shoulder injury. Wright is superb around the showground and Tofty can be also. very strong reserves there too, as if Allen/BWD move into the top 5, it will possibly mean, well any of them would be good

wonder if Kings Lynn will put out a NL team, maybe run on the Wednesday

well the sound it will make, apparently, is 'chomp chomp chomp'

i think Simon is expecting to ride in 2 leagues so he'll be at either Kings Lynn or Peterborough

and Tom finished ahead of Lambert in the averages didn't he?
