Not seen anything other than hearsay saying Niels won't ride in the uk next season. We had the same last year too. I'd go as far as to imagine it's 50/50 again

He is back in the GP’s this year so something surely has to give based on recent years.

You would think doing DK (has to race in DK League in order to continue to get into SGP qualifying rounds by qualifying from DK Individual Championships) - POL and SWE plus factor in the SGP itself now he has secured a place in 2019, would give him plenty on his plate.

I would have thought UK not such a priority now. The rumours that circulated from someone on the Forum about him moving to DK with his partner/child ?? certainly pointed to the decision near enough making itself, but then someone said he posted he was back from a long vacation so nobody seems to know for sure if he plans to race here or not. Suppose we will only find the real answer when KL & Ips finally announce their teams.

Regardless of where in the Pe postcode he lives. He hasn't openly ruled out Great Britain and in the past he has gone on record as saying he likes riding as regularly as possible. Remember his stance on the Poland plus 2 league rule while he was also a gp rider?

its 50/50 unless somebody has been told any different from the man himself.

when are we due more news. Are we alternating press releases with our b team?

Think there maybe a slightly earlier start time to our matches in the 2019 season.It says on the website all home matches will start at 7:30pm unless stated.There's one for you Haza:t:

That would be possibly the best move the club can make to help increase attendance of families and to help fans who start work early the following morning- id definitely welcome a 7-30 start

Hasn't this always been the case, with a 7.30 start ?    With racing commencing at 7.45.

Well I’ve not attended since July 2017 and I seem to remember often it would be near on 8pm before racing started - id have hope a 7-30 start means just that but we shall see

The only time when the procedure shows any urgency is when they run double headers.    Its such a shame they don't show the same with every meeting...     They're tunnel vision is directed only in hanging the meeting out , thus  allowing more time to spend your money,   whereas the more positive thinking would be aimed at keeping those,  in attendance ,   happy so they attend next time...

Yes,i just thought how it was worded we might be getting the racing started at 7:30pm.I just looked back at the 2018 fixture list on the website and it was worded the same.Sorry Haza,my bad:oops:

I know you are going to think i'm having a go,but i think that is a bit of a myth.Just because there are a few breaks in races at times does it really give people the urge to spend more?If i want something to eat or drink i will get something whether there is a break or not.Same with merchandise.People must be fairly gullible if they think they must spend money if there are any breaks.People will spend if they want to,and not spend if they don't want to.This is my opinion anyway.

Totally agree about the lack of urgency during meetings - thing is as well 15 heat is 15 heats if it’s over 90 minutes or 120 minutes or on other occasions even longer - doesn’t make the product or value for money better if a meeting is spread over a longer time period . 

But as you say lack of urgency

You and me both,  I don't need an interval to go and buy a drink,  but the obvious thinking behind the many lengthy delay is that it gives fan the opportunity , they would otherwise not have.   Probably in the warm summer evenings its not so bad, but nobody enjoys standing around in the cold nights watching the tractors going round and round....  What a pity the years program is so directed that we have  less meetings in the warm summer months,  and the big meetings come at the end of the season when the weather has turned cold...   They say the Promoters wants to appeal to the fans but they never think of positives to entice them to come ….
