Shadders Posted March 16, 2015 Report Share Posted March 16, 2015 The real test is if the colours run once they've been through the wash. Not overly keen on the design/colour of them myself but makes the team look a more professional outfit. Would've preferred more yellow & blue in the design Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben91 Posted March 16, 2015 Report Share Posted March 16, 2015 Would've preferred more yellow & blue in the design Agreed. Assuming the black/grey are restart colours. All well and good having a new sponsor and race suits but it'd be nice to keep a little more of the club's identity too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex2000 Posted March 22, 2015 Report Share Posted March 22, 2015 No. What makes you think that? Because since we Joined the league and said we were using team suits and matching bike covers others have adopted the race suits Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben91 Posted March 23, 2015 Report Share Posted March 23, 2015 The Raiders have race suits this season because the club has a new owner and wants a more professional, uniform look for the riders and that can't be a bad thing. The Rockets have them too and this has been done for professional reasons I'm sure, not to keep up with the Joneses or should I say the Dugards. Mildenhall have announced they are having race suits too because it is their anniversary and they are being funded by donations I believe. But really, does it matter who said they were having race suits first? No. Childish argument. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCB Posted March 23, 2015 Report Share Posted March 23, 2015 Surely in an amateur/training league the main focus should be on improving the riders, giving them track time and building up their machinery? Not buying them unnecessary race suits? I know when it was suggested the Storm have race suits some fans were happy to donate but other said they'd prefer to donate towards better bikes rather than looking good but having no kit. Now if a club can afford both, then great, do it. But I'm not sure an amateur league should be throwing money at things to look good. Fur coats and knickers etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex2000 Posted March 23, 2015 Report Share Posted March 23, 2015 You are right Alex. Others are following Eastbourne which said right from the start it would be racesuits as usual for the Eagles team. The Eastbourne ITFirst Eagles are raising the bar in the National League which has to be good for British speedway as a whole. I''m delighted that others clubs are following suit! Thank you! Someone can see where I am coming from! I can see why people say money should be spent on improvement but they need to learn to be professional to!! 😉 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TurnTwo Posted March 23, 2015 Report Share Posted March 23, 2015 being as all riders needed full Kevlar suits this year its a brilliant idea that the dugards had the suits paid for as its another £600 or so saved by the riders to spend on their equipment - look at poor old adam roynon having to set up a go fund me page in order to help pay for his pboro suit 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think the riders don't get paid..?! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadders Posted March 24, 2015 Report Share Posted March 24, 2015 (edited) The new Rye promotion would want to create a good image, Kitting the team out in matching race suits would be a good start Edited March 24, 2015 by Shads 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know, the rulebook maybe? "Cat 4: Riders who have ridden in the National Development League as an Amateur" - obviously, any rider who doesn't consider himself to have ridden "as an Amateur" is welcome to sign for a PL team on a 5 rather than a 3 as the rules state. I'd also argue they fit the following definition, "2. Sports An athlete who has never accepted money, or who accepts money under restrictions specified by a regulatory body, for participating in a competition."
