You're right, but with all the extra time he has on his hands now he could make a bit of a holiday out of it.Perhaps he could invite his buddy to go along also as he has some free time on his hands too Edited August 9, 2017 by Dave Jones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foreverblue Posted August 9, 2017 Report Share Posted August 9, 2017 (edited) The other point is i suspect Middlo may have thought with Holder refusing to ride it was an opportunity to get some unexpected points and told all the Poole boys to get on with it.

Giving some of his performances with Torun this season that kind of money wont be there next season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Final nail in the coffin if true. No Speedway next year in Britain. People are not going to pay £18 to see a team missing 3 riders per meeting through doubling up with a Championship club.

Perhaps there are plans to have two leagues ~ North and South ~ using riders who actually want to ride in the UK. I really like the sound of this, with play offs between the top two from each league at the end of the season. I'm still optimistic this will happen while I'm still able to get to Speedway meetings. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was told that it is £500 a point in Sweden and £1,000 a point in Poland. If it is that with no other payments - in the top leagues only, it is probably viable with their crowds and sponsors.

Not quite right, August to March is 8 months . If we assume his 28 day ban is added on to that he won't be available to a UK club until April . That would make the period quoted. Hardly a 9 month ban though is it.? Unless of course there is something happening that we are not aware of yet.
