New Science Posted September 2, 2017 Report Share Posted September 2, 2017 (edited) What will Doyle do when his Polish team decide they want to rearrange one of their fixtures as they have done this season on any day of the week they choose except Tuesdays.as not to upset the Polish riders who ride in Sweden. My guess is he will toddle off back Poland when called making the set race nights he called for look ridiculous. Lets not shy away from it ,Poland will do as they like. set race nights or not and so will the top riders Edited September 2, 2017 by New Science 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedibee Posted September 2, 2017 Report Share Posted September 2, 2017 BUT is it an ultimatum or simply a rider stating the days on which he is available? I see it as the latter. of course you do, don't you get fed up with arguing his case it's obvious yours is the minority opinion , surely you would be better spending your time German hating THAT'S exactly why going to set race nights is being mooted ... and Doyle is one of the riders who wants to race here. So what's your problem? On days when it suits him . and all the other riders can fall into line with his wishes , Doyle is offering nothing for anybodies benefit other than his own . hope we we keep multiple racenights so we can see the back of him . start sharing his wages out with British riders ,so they can have the best equipment 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fromafar Posted September 2, 2017 Report Share Posted September 2, 2017 (edited) I am a big Doyle fan but for me the BL league scene needs to balance the books and if the cream are removed then we can regroup and plan for the future. I agree,think we have to step back and regroup for the future( if there is one). No doubt though that they will try and persuade a couple of clubs to change their race night to a selected one night in Top League and forget about the rest,which is what they always do when struggling in Top League.They might fall for it again I'm afraid.

Fromafar Posted September 5, 2017 Report Share Posted September 5, 2017 It's a bit rich from Doyle to say there are dangerous riders over here,the number of crashes he has caused in his career . 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PHILIPRISING Posted September 5, 2017 Report Share Posted September 5, 2017 I hate to break it to you, but if Doyle doesn't ride next year his wages will go to Nick Morris. QUITE right and another reason why averages don't work in any shape or form. Instead of selecting someone to work for you (ride) from a bunch of candidates, there might only be one whose average fits. Automatically his wage demands rocket. A five or six point rider can (and often do) finish up on a higher wage scale that a rider with a better average. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SCB Posted September 5, 2017 Report Share Posted September 5, 2017 (edited) Why don't we for once listen to the fans and do what suits them and not the bloody riders?! Frankly, I'd ban GP riders and increase work permit guidelines so you need to have a 9 point Championship or an 8 point Premiership average.

PHILIPRISING Posted September 5, 2017 Report Share Posted September 5, 2017 Not all tracks have enough people attending to support riders wages. DEPENDS what those wages are. As I have previously argued here or elsewhere, scrap averages and wages could come down if you have 10 riders available for a team place rather than just one whose average happens to fill the void. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It won't alter the entertainment factor.I agree averages are killing the sport in more ways than one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bruno Posted September 5, 2017 Report Share Posted September 5, 2017 That's the trouble "lots of other things" if it was just a couple of issues it could perhaps be mended but there's so much wrong with the sport I can't see it recovering especially from this season. Trouble is we keep saying it can't get any worse then it does. What the hells going to happen next season 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
