Surely common sense says ride in England for two clubs and get paid I have no sympathy for any rider riding for a promise in this day and age when they know the likelihood of getting no money. 38 minutes ago, arnieg said: Of course there have never been any complaints about riders not getting paid in the UK? and yet with all these figures blowing around , the riders STILL cant make any money at the sport ........ oink oink ........

bigcatdiary Posted November 18, 2018 Report Share Posted November 18, 2018 16 hours ago, The Third Man said: The Sheffield promotion stated on Thursday that will not sign any rider who has a contract to ride in Poland, so none of them will be riding for us Would be good if the only facility for a rider missing a meeting in England was a NL guest as well Probably because as the home side they likely wouldn’t get a facility if one or more of their team was riding abroad, they will also now find out that they could struggle to get teams to commit to their home fixtures, especially re arranged ones. As for the UK if riders cannot commit to doubling up in this country then let them just ride in the Premiership. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All four extraleague fixtures are televised live every weekend. Two on Fridays, and two on Sundays. So that's 50/50 fridays and sundays. Also two first division matches are televised every weekend. Probably on a saturday, as I can't see there being four matches live on TV on a sunday. Possible consequences for every championship club.

Yes but it is the first thing they sort out at the conference, and team captains can report non payment to the referee at every match. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only one rider Ellis on that list of over 30 riders is riding Extraleague and possibly championship. There have been regularly 2 Nice Polska Tv matches on Sundays as well as the occasional Friday/ Saturday Nice Polska Tv matches hence the various % differences.

According to the Star it's possible to watch ALL six matches live over the week-end. So 1st division matches are likely to be saturdays as I can't see there being eight hours of speedway on the sunday. Also, this year, lower division riders are allowed to guest in the Extraleague.

You are wrong on 2 counts !! firstly 2 Extraleague matches have always been shown live on Sunday’s - and in 2019 that doesn’t change plus 2 Nice Polska have also been shown live - the Uk times have been 12pm and 1.45pm for the Nice Polska and 4pm and 6.30pm for the Extraleague. the Extraleague no 8’s in 2019 can now guest for LOWER league clubs. There are NO guests in the Extraleague. If there is one thing i know about it’s Polish speedway !! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
