Arson fire Posted September 14, 2013 Report Share Posted September 14, 2013 (edited) Theo I can understand but how does Claus get a facility?? Edited September 14, 2013 by Arson fire 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HenryW Posted September 15, 2013 Report Share Posted September 15, 2013 Theo I can understand but how does Claus get a facility?? It was stated elsewhere online that a facility is available for Claus because he is racing in a Polish play-off match. I don't see anything in the rules that have been published online that suggests this is a valid reason for a facility but I'm not sure if all the little extra rules that get added later always get made available to us plebs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it's not new. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Al Stewart Posted September 15, 2013 Report Share Posted September 15, 2013 You get a facility for Playoff matches presumably on the grounds that they are important matches arranged at short notice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dontforgetthefueltapsbruv Posted September 15, 2013 Report Share Posted September 15, 2013 so what's the rule?? And why is it different to Ludvig riding in Sweden?? Arent there differing agreements with the various federations? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arson fire Posted September 15, 2013 Report Share Posted September 15, 2013 You get a facility for Playoff matches presumably on the grounds that they are important matches arranged at short notice. cheers, so Edinburgh having a chance of winning the top spot is less important?? Be interesting to know which fixture was arranged first.Does seem that most riders loyalties are in other country's than this one when push comes to shove, can't recall one choosing their British club over a foreign club.... Can understand riders ie lindgren choosing or having to ride priority in their own nationality leagues... But Claus isn't polish British speedway the poor relation. Arent there differing agreements with the various federations? not knocking anyone but the system, we are world speedways bitches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Stewart Posted September 15, 2013 Report Share Posted September 15, 2013 Claus has missed Polish matches to ride for us this season. But the riders are constantly being put in awkward positions where they are going to let someone down. There's no obvious answer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chucks Posted September 15, 2013 Report Share Posted September 15, 2013 they should sign or negotiate contracts saying who has priority over their services when fixtures clash. my thought,s every speedway riders are like domesticated cats ,they dont care were they stay as long as they are getting fed.this has been my opinion for years and i personaly think it will always be Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO yes there is you ride in one country or another at the start of the season but you can't do both, simple Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There aren't enough riders to cover EVERY country and EVERY team, simple. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which means in reallity then we either see speedway dying even faster from that point on, or we will see it dying at the same pace as it is now whilst we continue to play second best. So either way we are doomed!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
