mrlincolncity Posted February 13, 2014 Report Share Posted February 13, 2014 I speak to a few Polish lads on my lorry driving travels. Polish speedway is in a bad way at the minute money wise, so they ALL tell me, apart from 2/3 clubs. Torun being 1 of the "crazy teams" as they say!

Double Up Posted February 14, 2014 Report Share Posted February 14, 2014 Plus the clubs who loan out riders will get a healthy return in loan fees.....Lynn could have bought Mads in 2011 for a modest fee but instead Swindon are about to benefit from a fourth successive season of loan money. Everyone's a winner. I doubt 4 years loan fees would equate to what the transfer valuation would have been 4 years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Turner Posted February 14, 2014 Report Share Posted February 14, 2014 I would say calling it the "Elite league" is borderline a criminal offense, at very least it surely amounts to false advertising?... elite noun: elite; plural noun: elites 1. a group of people considered to be superior in a particular society or organization. Hmm... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmm... It still remains the superior league in our `organisation` , it is no different to the also `false advertising` of the Premier League. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BluPanther Posted February 15, 2014 Report Share Posted February 15, 2014 I know, it keeps getting boring when people slate our best league! It is definitely still our best league, but this year it's probably the weakest top league we have ever seen... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gavan Posted February 18, 2014 Report Share Posted February 18, 2014 It is the weakest we have seen but it should lead to good racing. Whats the point of havimg a 'super team' like Torun? So what if its full of world stars it will be boring. I remember when we at Foxhall had TR, Gollob, Louis and Nicholls and to be fair it got quite boring. The teams all look fairly equal with Birmingham the weakest and Kings Lynn or Belle Vue the strongest 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with you - I reckon we could see some good racing this year. Just a pity Peterborough are not there to mix it!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmy jimmy Posted February 22, 2014 Report Share Posted February 22, 2014 At least the league is more UK focused than ever before, which is what we need if we are ever to reignite British participation on the World stage again. Let's keep it going and now look to develop training facilities around the country 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveLyric2 Posted February 22, 2014 Report Share Posted February 22, 2014 What the BSPA should be doing is to work with the Polish, Swedish authorities to ensure as many Brits get places in their leagues as that is the only way to improve their skills and experience - not continuing to race on UK tracks in weakened British leagues!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yellowandblack Posted March 1, 2014 Report Share Posted March 1, 2014 On the other hand there never seems to be a correlation between really exciting racing and the best riders. Some of the best racing I've seen has been in the prem and other second string leagues of the past. It's a lot about riders and teams being evenly matched...surely Torun meetings will be processional walkovers? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
