spin king Posted July 6, 2021 Report Share Posted July 6, 2021 Guests have and always been part of speedway. I have seen Guest riders give match winning performance and some where they have lost matches. To be honest if Josh Bates is out for the season or any length of time I would prefer a new rising star to replace Josh. If that was the case then I would go for Connor Bailey or James Shanes.

Number777 Posted July 7, 2021 Report Share Posted July 7, 2021 So this 6 month ban for Nicky P, is that just in Poland or worldwide? I reckon he would have taken some catching in the UK this season....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlieboy Posted July 7, 2021 Report Share Posted July 7, 2021 Technically if he rides for Plymouth then Ipswich shouldn’t be allowed a guest as he’d be withholding his services Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More fingers in ears and la la la I don't agree with the Crump situation - it's more of the same As a result of this and the other factors have built up I am not attending so no I'm not fine with it!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still looking for the next angle to manipulate.....

Charlieboy Posted July 8, 2021 Report Share Posted July 8, 2021 If you want to win anything you should always strive for better that’s what I do with my business and it works for me. Ipswich made changes whether that’s for the better remains to be seen. If you can’t be bothered to attend then don’t let yourself get wound up mate. Chill out. I don’t give a toss about the rules because there too flexible so makes no odds to me who guests etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some people just don't get it and probably never will, sport without integrity is absolutely pointless. 2 hours ago, Charlieboy said: If you want to win anything you should always strive for better that’s what I do with my business and it works for me.

Good for you, but many do and most of those I suspect don't go any more. Speedway has been like it for years back to Reg Fearman Ian Thomas Len Silver etc etc It won’t change. I don’t know any other sport with rules as flexible. Until they have an external governing body it will stay the same. So like I say if you just want to watch speedway for a night out socially and accept the rules great. If you want to take it serious and come on here to moan nothing will change. If your waiting for integrity in speedway you will be waiting a long time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
