Shadders Posted August 16, 2012 Report Share Posted August 16, 2012 And the recommended rate in the PL is £30 a point,though I'm sure Charlie Gjedde is on a bit more than that That's the recommended rate... Doesn't the NL have a flat rate, or have has that changed? Bear in mind that Simon's father Stephen was Malcolm Vasey's partner in the promotion of Boston at King's Lynn so the links are a little stronger than usual in this case. Simon has kept his word and chosen to stay with Stoke. Good luck to him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vog Posted August 16, 2012 Report Share Posted August 16, 2012 That's the recommended rate... Doesn't the NL have a flat rate, or have has that changed I assume it works the same as the PL,home promoter pays flat rate to all riders and then tops his own riders up home and away. I reckon it is safe to say Simon has his wages topped up by Stoke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it's gonna sound like sour grapes and honestly it's not, but could you really see Simon being an improvement on Ritchie Hawkins?

MrMungo Posted August 16, 2012 Report Share Posted August 16, 2012 That's the recommended rate... Doesn't the NL have a flat rate, or have has that changed? I've always thought of it as the "minimum wage" in our terms. The PL @ £30 per point thing is a new one to me. Even the reserves would get around £40 per point, some a bit higher. Hawkins V Lambert is very much like for like. They will potentially both have awesome meetings from time to time, but also some poor ones. Ultimately, they're both solid 5 pt men and I don't see that changing a great deal in the near future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shadders Posted August 19, 2012 Report Share Posted August 19, 2012 According to my Mildenhall correspondent, Jason Garrity suffered an injured hand while guesting for the Fen Tigers this afternoon Jason was seen leaving with an ice pack on his injured hand. Let's hope it's nothing serious Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's hope it's nothing serious Was given oxygen at the track, too. Hand was in a bad shape from what I was told. A very nasty crash. Hope he recovers quickly.

westhamboy66 Posted August 19, 2012 Report Share Posted August 19, 2012 Very nasty crash for Jason he was very lucky to walk away. Basically after a great race with Gary Irving Irving chose to fence Garrity right at the start line. Didn't look good and he was down for quite a while. Shame the Dudley fans misbehaved badly spoiling what was a decent meeting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were very mouthy at Rye House recently, made worse with that awful Black Country accent 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chopper Posted August 20, 2012 Report Share Posted August 20, 2012 X-rays reveal no broken bones for Jason Thats great news for Jason, it would have been an interesting trip home , Jason with one hand, Robert with one good leg. Both rocking up at the Manchester hospital. What sometimes gets forgotten is the costs a big crash can bring, i know Jason also had a big damage bill sarurday night.

westhamboy66 Posted August 21, 2012 Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 So Lambert is now back in having left Stoke. I just hope it's all worth it. Still sceptical about his ability to raise his average beyond Richie Hawkins but wish him well in the coming weeks. Hope it turns out well and also that after a rest Richie gets a berth somewhere as he is a decent racer. Have to say i am more concerned in the decision making this season that seems slightly dodgy to say the least. From my first view of Casper at Leicester i think it's obvious he will be a winner but far more of a concern is the temporary feeling about Mellgren. I do hope we don't end up losing the boy who from day one has been the real deal. Sign him up and we have the basis of a proper team next year that can get better as the season progresses.

scaramanga Posted August 21, 2012 Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 Simon Lambert makes his debut for Rye House at Ipswich on Thursday after leaving Stoke. so if he makes his debut on thursday when did he sign i thought it was you had to declare 5 days before first fixture before the signing took effect Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrMungo Posted August 21, 2012 Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 With the fixture on Thursday not being an official fixture, I'd imagine the rules are a bit more lenient. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Len attempted to purchase Anders as a Rye House asset, but the BSPA want to wait until the end of the season, obviously to see if there are any more bidders and to hike up the price. Yeah so much for the wonderfull loyalty he was showing Stoke..Hawkins ,must feel for him after this like for like signing ..wheres the gain.??? Stoke would be heartless to stand in his way. I expect he left with their full blessing. As for your second point, I see every gain in replacIng a rider with zero confidence for someone who's keen and fresh. Simon may well be no improvement on what we had, but as Len stated on Saturday, Ritchie wasn't making any money out of speedway, so packing up was a no brainier.

Rockets Posted August 21, 2012 Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 Could nt agree more westham boy. Mellgren Nelson Garrity and Kasper should be shoe ins for next season. Happy to see how Lambert goes but cant help wondering whether it was worth taking a chance on another young Aussie instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
