Every year you say riders don’t want to return and then when Pedersen and Kildemand do, you snipe at them. Meanwhile, we’re all looking forward to seeing them race, because they are racers! What on earth on you about? Pedersen is in the twilight of his career and I’ve already said it’s exciting for British Speedway that’s he’s back. So where is the sniping? ive commented on Kildemand that has been echoed by other Aces fans. Are they sniping too? or pointing out he has had a shocking season and might not be the exciting talent he was last time he was here is just keeping it real without going overboard. Evidence has shown less and less top riders want to ride here or the clubs can’t afford them (whichever you believe). on the plus side tho it seems Eurosport may be the catalyst for some riders wanting to come back because it helps raise their profile. Id love to think more are to be announced and it would be a pure joy if that happens. Im a fan of a much stronger league so this is exactly what I want so it’s really not that hard to please me at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It used to be just starts and points, now its mechanics, mobiles, vans, accommodation, hotels, flights, gaurantees, lifts, drivers, clothing, engines, frames, tyres, oil, fuel, wheels & insurance, were does it end.

Ok maybe but I’m reliably told that money is very tight as BV losses are astronomical well over £500,000. and rider pay has to be cut, which makes sense. All clubs should be doing the same or they will go under. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil The Ace Posted November 28, 2019 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2019 Dont get me wrong. They loose money. Probably more than most clubs and they will probably get bored of that sooner rather than later. They have very very very deep pockets. Belle vue is loose change to them. They are very determined to make it work. And I should imagine in the 5th year they will consider what the next step will be 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
