What Does The Swedish League Have That The Uk Elite Does Not ?

And to many GP's. Why should the top boys come to the UK for a pittance compared to what they can earn in Poland Sweden and on the GP circuit. I said years ago, the GP 's will be the killing of British speedway.

MONEY (one rider told me he probably earns three times as much in Sweden than in England)... easier just to commute between Poland and Sweden without having to fly in and out of the UK as well as keeping bikes here ... tracks (so much better to ride than most in England)... permanent race nights... just for starters

Spot on with the just for starters lol uk speedway is a real mess.

this "better tracks" comment that rears its head again? pre grand prix did the best riders ever come up with that argument?

did ole olsen, ivan mauger, barry briggs ever dodge Britain? it may well come down to money, but iwont be convinced about the tracks!

Tracks have got worse in the UK over the years compared to those abroad.

Because a lot of tracks will not buy PROPER shale..And unless you do, it doesn't bind properly, thats when you get your holes.

Only this year then, as the last couple of years there have been more than a few holes

Nope, and last year, but its taken a long time to build it up again. You cannot just dump it on. Its still not where we want it. But its now riding a lot lot better, as the old stuff is turning over and the new stuff is bedding in.

Wimbourne road has not been great to ride this year so I have been told by a couple of riders I know, it use to be awesome.

 

Tracks use to have a lot of good shale on it and after each race the rakers brought it back, they use tractors now, you can see the lack of shale after 4 heats when the tractor grades it.

Think you have that very wrong matey, and i don't believe your top sentence. Our track is now riding a hell of a lot better, we have rakers who do a dam good job. When was the last time you came to poole.

I don't think he's visited Poole, because he's talking out from where the sun don't shine.

Let me tell you something sunshine. If Davey Watt thinks the tracks good then you take his word for it. I hope that helps..
