You are better than that if it is. How can it be? Its truthful that smaller, tight tracks need riders to be good technically. I didn’t even read it that way at all.

Well you won't see the NSS in the play offs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t deserve it at all. hopefully this instigates the shakeup we’ve needed for a few years. Keep max/jaimon and Dan the rest thanks but no thanks. I swear if I see steve worral in next years team I’m not bothering I will be very, very surprised if Max rides in the uk next season. He is no longer based in the country and will have the GPs, Poland, Sweden and quite possibly Denmark. After this season, I expect that Bjerre will go to Peterborough. I think Chapman will pay him accordingly now. Keep Lidsey, go for Chris Holder and potentially keep Dan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So that's the reason all the best riders in the world shun the UK and choose to ride the big fast tracks in Poland, always wondered, not many trick tracks in the GP, s either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rearranged fixture Poole v Ipswich on 16th Sept just been added to the BT Sports schedule. Although it might be incorrect with BT getting the date of the Play-off semis confused?! Nigel and Kelvin will be gutted not to be going back to the NSS! (and we probably won't hear the last of it!!).

LisaColette Posted September 6, 2019 Report Share Posted September 6, 2019 It's a shame we can't do a world cup style final at BV for the playoffs. I would enjoy that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think so ! Everyone knows it is because it is not worth the effort for the money on the table . 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's face it, those who can get remarkably good money from Poland so, as you say, it's not surprising. There a lot of very wealthy riders at the top. At least this gives places for others and the pendulum may swing again at some point, who knows.

LisaColette Posted September 6, 2019 Report Share Posted September 6, 2019 I am sure it's more the extra travel and money side of things, but a fair few riders don't look forward to go to Wolves, unless they are looking for a challenge!

Yes we know about the money so the racing on those big fast polish tracks must be so poor as the riders just have to take their brains out and turn the throttle im surprised the numbers on the terraces actually bother. I remember going from Hyde road to Kirky lane, now we are at the NSS the crappy racing was at Kirky lane, when we were at the dog track we tried to convince ourselves the racing was better due to the tighter track and riders having to have more technical ability, we were kidding ourselves, the best racing by far was at Hyde road and now the NSS, absolutely no comparison, after all the clue is in the name, speedway.
