NWS Posted July 21, 2010 Report Share Posted July 21, 2010 Although Glanz is a very good rider at this level.. Dropping Starke is incredible Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brewer Posted July 21, 2010 Report Share Posted July 21, 2010 another young brit who hadnt done anything wrong, dropped for a foreigner, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scribbler Posted July 21, 2010 Report Share Posted July 21, 2010 (edited) another young brit who hadnt done anything wrong, dropped for a foreigner, And he was the rider for Plymouth who had improved his average (5 -> 7.5)... And Bowden's kept in his 'Plymouth Pensioners' - laughable - if it wasn't so sad that a young Brit has been ditched...OK, OK Glanz has British parentage (I think)...but to ditch a young hopeful for a guy who's barely ridden after an injury 2 seasons ago is not good. Just goes to show that Bowden has favourites... thinking of the riders he's 'let go' and who came good after they left Plymouth...

muck Posted July 21, 2010 Report Share Posted July 21, 2010 this is probably a good move for Starke, he should go PL today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobC Posted July 21, 2010 Report Share Posted July 21, 2010 Unbelievable. One of the most improved riders in the NL this season. He then gets treated like dirt. A couple of tips for you Paul,before you sign for anyone. Try saying ''ya know'' a lot,as most Danes seem to say that. Maybe ''G'day mate'' might make then think you are an Aussie. Add ''ski'' to your surnmame and pretend you are Polish and dont understand English. They will give you a bike,van and somewhere to live. You only have yourself to blame mate.You were born in the one Country that doesnt get a look in here. You are BRITISH.Seemingly the biggest crime in British Speedway. In some ways,it may do you good.I hope so.Its just the way its been done that really annoys me. Good luck wherever you ride from now on.

Bryn Posted July 21, 2010 Report Share Posted July 21, 2010 (edited) "Strewth cobbers!" as my Aussie mates would say, when did they move Swindon (where young Mr. Glanz was born!)abroad??? Having said that it sure is tough on Paul Starke and hopefully he'll soon be in action elsewhere Edited July 21, 2010 by Bryn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He might have been born in Swindon - but I presume that he will get help coming over here from Denmark (?) where he lives and works...

Ben91 Posted July 21, 2010 Report Share Posted July 21, 2010 Starke can come and race for Rye if he wants we've got injury troubles ATM and I've always rated him highly, he wouldn't be held backfrom PL speedway at rye or elsewhere either if he came to Rye.

Thing is though he was born in this country and nothing can change that. As I said I would hope PS gets fixed up (which I'm sure he undoubtedly will!) very quickly indeed.

All clouds have silver linings, Starke will be a great asset wherever he goes would imagine he would be great at Weymouth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

torpointfanatic22 Posted July 21, 2010 Report Share Posted July 21, 2010 Totally disgraceful! Not a shock as the 'click' will never be broken up! The sooner the BSPA implement rules to restrict older and foreign riders in the NL the better! Whats even more laughable is that other than Pickard, Starke was the only one to increase his average, justify that Bowden! Disgusted!

Neil H Posted July 21, 2010 Report Share Posted July 21, 2010 The only trouble I see for Paul is that very few NL teams can match his Plymouth pay rate. Good choice of guest for any teams visiting Plymouth for the rest of the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCB Posted July 21, 2010 Report Share Posted July 21, 2010 After Bowdens little "my riders are not guesting in the PL" rant earlier in the season, Paul is better off out of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scribbler Posted July 21, 2010 Report Share Posted July 21, 2010 After Bowdens little "my riders are not guesting in the PL" rant earlier in the season... He's been the same for the last couple of seasons - and the reason is (IIRC) because Glanz got injured whilst riding PL. Guess he'll have it in his contract that he doesn't ride PL this time around. I thought that if Plymouth were going PL next season Paul Starke - as a Plymouth asset - would have been a useful asset. I wonder what will happen to the clique if they do go PL...surely 'the old boys' won't return to PL riding Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
