They have not been offered any financial help at all just like previous years. The costs of accomodation and transport are a small price to pay for the experience. Apart from riding the track all 8 riders will each get 4 two day pit passes and 5 tickets for the main event seated above the start line. The SCB have finances available for running the under15's british championships but non are available for this event. The riders chosen to ride by Peter Oakes do not have to attend and they do have the option to say no.

Dont get me wrong Im sure the experience will be a lifetime memory, however you would still think that they would give some methanol, a type, some oil especially because they are riding for the crowds benefit first!

Nonsense, they are not riding for the crowds benefit, personnally I see no benefit watching wobblers on the same stage as the British GP, the blue riband event in the speedway year, I think it slightly devalues. I could go along to training schools or conference league to watch rhese guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, there probably more controlled on the bike than some of the out of control youngsters in conference!!! Good Luck Boys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may see no benefit in watching "wobblers", but those same "wobblers" could be and probably will be in your teams 1-7 at some point in the future. I think the fact that the young lads are included in the event at Cardiff shows that people are making an effort towards the future of british speedway. The very idea that it devalue's the event is ridiculous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't even bother to reply to this Jeff. person, he's not a fan of british speedway just a GP fan, he doesn't have a team, do you Jeff.?

Peter Posted June 26, 2008 Report Share Posted June 26, 2008 A few years ago, one of the 'wobblers' was only 0.3 seconds slower than a Grand Prix rider. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobC Posted June 26, 2008 Report Share Posted June 26, 2008 Good Luck to all concerned. Cant go this year,due to ill health,but would have enjoyed being there supporting them.

I think its called ENCOURAGEMENT!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jules m Posted June 29, 2008 Report Share Posted June 29, 2008 Remember reading something similar a year or two back, George Piper etc. where are they now. Cardiff isn't a glorified training school Not sure where George is but when I watched them in 2005 there was a Lewis Bridger and a Joshua Auty there, they haven't come to much have they? Hope the lads enjoyed their day and look forward to seeing them in the CL soon. Jules Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boston Speedway Posted June 29, 2008 Report Share Posted June 29, 2008 The races for the youngsters were an excellent start to the racing part of the event. I have to say well done to Rhys Naylor; he didn't get off the start in his race but chased the other three riders, never gave up and took the win on the line - well done mate you were brilliant.
