Lord Skid Posted January 30, 2017 Report Share Posted January 30, 2017 Do the Danes still get a free ferry crossing at the start and end of season, and also have to have board and lodgings as well? No matter how good or bad the Rider is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No matter how good or bad the Rider is. Not so sure about the free ferry, but all our Danes have had accommodation with someone from Newcastle. Their ability does not come into it.

Whisperer Posted January 30, 2017 Report Share Posted January 30, 2017 (edited) It's ironic that on this thread there is a sensible discussion that is only just beginning to scratch the surface on some elements of rider costs, the SVEMO and DMU agreements are significant when looking to engage a rider who is registered with those federations. When it comes to PZM the "Premier League" as was had to insist on an ACU licence or no Polish riders the pull/pressure to ride in Poland was so great but the "Elite League" lived with the demands of the Polish federation which in turn created mayhem with EL fixtures. Other threads are extolling the virtues of non UK riders to build a winning or competitive team and others are indirectly supporting the demise of clubs without any understanding of the operating costs and the necessity to rely on the fans to try to make ends meet. Those who love their Speedway should endeavor to attend as often as they can to make a contribution to the losses generally incurred and extend the life support for the sport. Quarreling across the piece, regardless of where blame lies, will continue to batter the sustainability and negatively impact on the uninitiated, the undivided and the naive who know no better other than to follow the sport with enthusiasm and passion. This forum can be exceptionally good for the sport but when it ain't it's gonna bury what's left.

The only people who are going to bury British Speedway are the jokers running it, not a bunch of nomarks on a forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
