What The Visa Issues Could Mean For Teams.


Recommended Posts

Smith is only exciting because he is capable of falling off on his own not because hes a good racer. Harrison is as exciting as a tin of dulux

 

Silly.

 

 

Also he doesn't care who he takes off with him when he goes down , he's a danger to anyone on the track with him.

 

Sillier.

Ah, so a personal grudge. We are getting to the crux of it now.

 

I was there that night, the move itself was reckless but typical of his over exuberance that year (2008). Can't comment on the other bit but seems a bit silly to still trot this stuff out seven years later.

Maybe so but I will never forgive him for what he did to Birkinshaw at Birnimgham ... and then walked past him laid on the track getting treatment and never asked if he was ok.

 

If your going to play that game then what about what Batchelor did to Smith when riding in Australia a couple or three year ago, let your anger go and admit Smith is a character and an entertainer, something sadly lacking in speedway these days.

What did he do to Birkinshaw. When was that

 

He just went into the first bend a little too hot and clipped Birkinshaw's back wheel causing them both to go down heavily.

Brum v Lynn 2008, PL match, Kozza was chasing Birkinshaw in one heat and wiped him out from behind on the second bend which resulted in and injury for JB. Kozza was a bit mental that year (his first over here) and took a few riders out but calmed down a lot after sustaining a few injuries of his own in 2009.

Unfortunately he chose to ride for Lakeside who ride on a Friday, when many PL sides do the same

 

Didn't Ellis ride for Lakeside last year, that didn't stop him riding in the PL for Ipswich, from reading his column in last weeks Speedway Star its pretty clear Ellis thought he would be going back to Ipswich, sadly for him that didn't happen and by the time he found out most teams were all but full. Hopefully he will get a PL place either by team changes due to the bother certain riders are having with visa`s or when the PL gets going a teams find their riders aren't quite as good as they thought they were.
