PHILIPRISING Posted February 9, 2015 Report Share Posted February 9, 2015 THERE used to be rider control, of course ... most famously Mauger to Exeter (although the move only went through because the then promotion paid him a fortune) and Olsen to Hull, which eventually saw Briggo extend his career to allow Ole to join Coventry.

waiheke1 Posted February 9, 2015 Report Share Posted February 9, 2015 How and why and when did the asset system start?......when I started going to Leicester Speedway from the mid seventies til we closed after the 83 season there was no such system it was like footy ie full transfers and the odd double uppers like Bob Garrad from rye house etc.not true. The aces in the early 80s regularly had "assets" riding for other clubs - neil collins and dave bargh for example and I believe peter ravn was only loaned out to cradlet in 83.

Riders were just ordered to move though, and their promotions didn't have a lot of say in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barney Rabbit Posted February 10, 2015 Report Share Posted February 10, 2015 not true. The aces in the early 80s regularly had "assets" riding for other clubs - neil collins and dave bargh for example and I believe peter ravn was only loaned out to cradlet in 83. There was an asset system back in the early seventies. At Peterborough, I remember John Harrhy being recalled by Coventry in 1972, and John Davis on loan from Oxford for most of two seasons. Alan Witt was also loaned to Long Eaton, in the same division, in 1973. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
