Shadders Posted July 25, 2016 Report Share Posted July 25, 2016 For that money, I'm surprised any Riders turned up, it cost more than that to be competitive at the Showground. I'm not sure most of them knew what they were getting before they arrived, or surely they would've made some sort of protest before Saturday. If so, then I'm amazed. Would you turn up for work not knowing what pay rate you were on? Didn't seem to affect the majority of them. Some battling performances including a bit of argy bargy on Sunday involving team mates Bjerre and Andersen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Skid Posted July 25, 2016 Report Share Posted July 25, 2016 Clubs used to sort out their own deals with their Riders, one Club gave each of their Riders a Grand for winning it, you wouldn't get a grand between the whole Team now.

mudflaps Posted July 26, 2016 Report Share Posted July 26, 2016 13 teams of 5 riders on £163 per rider = £10,595... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadders Posted July 26, 2016 Report Share Posted July 26, 2016 (edited) 13 teams of 5 riders on £163 per rider = £10,595...Only 12 teams raced on Saturday, three of them didn't have a reserveSurely the £163 quoted was just for the semi finals. They would've been paid again for the final and individual races on Sunday Edited July 26, 2016 by Shads 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Skid Posted July 26, 2016 Report Share Posted July 26, 2016 Who Rides without knowing what they are going to get paid, amateurish at best, plain stupid more like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
royal Posted July 26, 2016 Report Share Posted July 26, 2016 A lot of this is speculation, although based on some fairly hard facts. I was just peed off that three of the team busted a gut to try and get us through, and one seemed not to. As most of the other riders in the other teams were giving it 100%, this made it even more annoying, especially as 5 points would have got us through.

Tsunami Posted July 26, 2016 Report Share Posted July 26, 2016 BSPA using this as a cash cow to improve their dwindling funds maybe. Dislike these events as seems to favour the home sides riders. As for Ed he was busting a gut for Lakeside on Friday so if he was 'going through the motions' I would stick a big club fine on him - not impressed! Yea, shocking that someone like the BSPA should try and make a shared meeting profitable. BTW the shared meetings, or Super 7 events, are an attempt to make money to 'share' out to all teams at the end of the season at the AGM. Naughty BSPA eh. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JmeRay Posted August 6, 2016 Report Share Posted August 6, 2016 Does anyone know if the old temp stand is now complete? There doesn't seem to have been much change to it since the start of the season but the view from there isn't great. So much about speedway is what happens in and around the first bend but the only decent view of it seems to be if you're standing on the tractor.

Reviresco Posted August 7, 2016 Report Share Posted August 7, 2016 Congratulations to Cam on his selection for the Australian Joeys squad for the FIM U21 World Team Cup Final at Norrkoping on 20 August. A reward for his commitment to his sport and his country since arriving in Britain as a 15 year old to race in the NL for Mildenhall in 2011. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robert Branford replaces him. Karger leaves the Rockets on a true average of 1.54 from all matches. Highlight: That tapes to flag win over Sam Masters Shads just did a fistpump and shouted YES Not quite, but it did bring a smile to my face. I didn't think he was ever coming back anyway. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
