  1. Just make him pay back his indentures and wave good riddance to him
  2. Nl riders are usually the ones that new rules affect the most , here's an example , winter of 2014 my son is building his bikes for 2015 , new rule everybody is to use 2015 silencers . hand in pocket for £400 for 2 new silencers ,Feb 2015 rules change and 2010 silencers are acceptable . £400 worth of 2010 silencers now in a box under the bench , same thing happened with the Positive cutouts ,
  3. Most other motor sports have classes where only homologated untouchable engines are used . these classes are usually the most popular with both competitors - like to compete on a level playing field at a reasonable cost , and spectators who are seeing closely contested races won by the most skilled not the fattest cheque book
  4. you're wasting your time here Dean . Phillip Rising will defend to the hilt the rights of people to bleed speedway dry . just like he does with all the crap that Briggs forces on it . I suppose some ex rider has a rev limiter from another application that they have bought a job lot of , now it's just a case of creating a market for them .
  5. Yes lets give a useless Aussie a team place , and leave a British rider on the sidelines take his place in the dole queue . Only a Poole fan would make such a suggestion
  6. I would think if Bomber is going to do well at home . the track prep will need a bit of attention . from what I heard on here last year it was slick and dusty . it's quite small and to my way of thinking not really bomber territory
  7. Nobody knows the rulebook better than Matt Ford , then again no-one knows the harry potter books better than JK Rowling
  8. I'm not an advocate of double points myself , and although I think the reserves should have minimum 3 races . I have no problem with any of the top 5 being replaced at any time ,
  9. but in football you have players on the bench who can be brought in if things are not going well , so team managers should not be hogtied by the rules and should be able to use their riders as necessary to win .
  10. I don't like the double points thing . but there is a need for manoeuvre by team managers , a couple of bad rides and an engine failure should not end your teams chances of winning . so there has to be a way of a struggling team fighting back
  11. Thankfully no . if riders could be picked up and put down , I guarantee some of them would be left to do all the travelling , while others would always "do better " on tracks close to their homes ,
  12. I could give you a long list of what makes a bad one , but Ill leave that in the capable hands of little thumper ,
  13. Anyone who wanted top league this year .only needed to ask . so come playoff time and the mess the premiership will be in by then , do you think they will try to win what they could have just said yes to , promotion relegation playoff , will be a foregone conclusion . and a complete waste of time
  14. Have to admit , I have been known to do a bit of driving and faffing with spanners for a national League rider . hard to say no with the amount of money he pays me
  15. They are still working on getting an 8th day of the week that nobody else knows about , so they can run british speedway without interfering with any other country , or the Gps or the world cup or the european championship
  16. Oh come on thumper ,promotion and relegation . that's a massive plus . it's never been tried before and we all know the championship teams will be busting a gut to get promoted come October . hahahahaha ..... Its the only way to get into the top league (Whatever it's called this week) so why wouldn't they want to ?......... sorry just had a moment there . forgot that they have all been begged already and didn't want to step up they could always divert some of the money they already have in sponsorship from Gospeed and put that into the promoters/riders pockets
  17. Glad to see that there will be speedway at Leicester next year , Lets hope Hemsley has been pushed out of the picture altogether , personally I think they would have been better in the championship .but the BSPA need to keep the numbers up for the SKY money , championship would have provided regular racing at affordable levels with a good chance of some success and could have brought the crowd back , as it is cannon fodder in the premiership means pandering to overpaid foreigners racing every 2 weeks midweek and struggling to keep their heads above water , hopefully they will still be around when the latest blueprint for failure collapses ,and can join the other bread and butter clubs one step down in 2018 ,
  18. Promotion and relegation brilliant idea ,dont know why it's never been tried before , gives the lower division something to strive for and aaded interest come the end of the season
  19. Promotion and relegation ,hahahahahaha
  20. 1 question I would be asking if I was Morton or Gordon , was what were the BSPA doing tittle tattling and brokering deals behind their backs ? this will have a final twist . something of the like of Van Straaten , Chapman . or Ford taking over the promotion ..
  21. Its exactly what you want .but you are largely on your own ,because every lions supporter I know ( and that is a lot ) wants to go back to the premier league , regular meetings in a league where they have a fair chance of winning ,and no problem racing on saturdays ,
  22. I have first hand knowledge of ridiculous decisions by lady refs , but not so much of male refs , how about refusing to change your mind ,when the opposition team manager rings and says that was my rider at fault , and then the rider himself rings and says it was 110% my fault ,I rammed him .ludicrous enough for you?
  23. In theory that's a good idea , however would you really want to give the likes of Vardy , Horley ,or the other Bint , more chances to make ludicrous decisions , we would have races with all 4 back because the one who caused the stoppage had blue eyes .
  24. Oh wow, that's exciting .I hope they don't go for single racenights because with my renewed interest I will want to buy season tickets at Cov ,Leicester, Brum , and Cradley , and wont be able to go to all 4 on the same night
