  1. Think if you speak to the right people Mr G was in favour others blocked it Not a chance asking to much money per meeting as rent
  2. You could well be right but don't think we will ever know
  3. Won't be speedway anytime soon at Bradford, the stock car people are holding speedway to ransom with their demands apparently.
  4. Thing is regardless of our team affiliation we all know the sport is in disarray, so why not use the pandemic , brexit and rider availability as the once in a lifetime chance to press the reset button. Surely it is the opportunity the sport so badly needs for a period of time they have to put personal differences aside and vote for the good of the sport and not what's good personally
  5. When it's in the press release but if it is true and riders are becoming available will the pressure from some clubs for everything to stay the same cease. As I see it nothing is the same anymore so let's have a reset of the sport.
  6. Said person if rumours are right is already no longer a member of the said committee having already chucked the towel in
  7. No chance it will be double headers over Friday Saturday and Sunday brilliant for me I live local
  8. Think if the rest ship out a league of 2 won't be very good.
  9. Exactly right but won't happen as a couple of clubs are holding the rest to ransom having paid out for engines and signing on fees to there riders last year
  10. Having been part of the Berwick Njl team got to say the level of support the boys received was fantastic and I know that Luke and Sam loved the interaction with the crowd especially the 3rd bend massive.
  11. The series of interviews they did with 2019 riders was very good. The series itself in 2020 was good with nothing decided until the final round and full deserved more recognition than it got. Having said that the coverage is getting better for youth and amateur scenes with more column inches been dedicated to them than ever before.
  12. Yep you know that I know that but the delusional fools who press for this don't .
  13. They don't need to , due to the clamour for everything to stay the same in 2021 as it should of been in 2020 the decision has been already made in 2019. Shame but hey hoe always 2022
  14. Hi mate they are the rules as per the regs . But due to this being British speedway they made it up as they went along . After Luke won the final round officially he should of been the champion. However when the rules were mentioned the reply was just go win it on track . Which he did in the run off . Rule book only applies to certain aspects of the sport on certain occasions. in fairness though it was a wonderful series at 250 level and either Max or Luke would of been worthy winners
  15. 19 teams 1 home 1 away meeting plus 1 cup competition a proper 4tt schedule. Minimum of 20 home meetings and 22 away what a ridiculous idea
  16. As i see it if club owners are benefitting then clubs are helped with the finances . also if you look at the fields for the amateur riders at Scunthorpe yes there is a large proportion of competitors who will never race at any other level but without them competing the meetings wouldnt be viable , so in effect reduces track time for those who have a chance of making the level required. also hope does lie within the youth system but if you look at all the amateur meeting lists lots of Neil Vatchers young lions are competing in them but without the hobby riders as well meetings wouldnt be viable
  17. Thriving is a word that can describe speedway in the uk in two categories only one been the youth series and the other been amateur racing. Think league racing will continue to struggle until the clubs embrace them. Two many clubs are not interested in youth riders until there old enough to sign and not enough cater for your weekend racer. Build form the bottom to feed the top
  18. Don't think he will need his forensic accountant to add up his sensible post's
  19. Sad thing is we all know rye is gone regardless of the effort put in by those wanting to save it at its current location. Surely these efforts would be better directed at re inventing it at a different location in the same locality
  20. Bring it on less foreign riders more opportunities for young British riders build again from the bottom. Weaken the teams in the short term to strengthen the product in the long term. After COVID and brexit it's a free hit so go for it
  21. It was all here till 3 weeks ago tero collected it and shipped it back to Finland for him. Jesse did use both of Nike's chassis at the son one had his own engine the other had Nike's in it .
