Thanks for the attached Blu. Doyley as ever being as open and as honest about the situation.

Furthermore, Confirming my opinion that there will be no British Speedway this season.

I suspect you may be correct English, we can only hope all clubs survive to re-open next year. Jason is a top man ...

"If there is an option and the restrictions are lifted" he will ride

Is that the COVID restrictions or the Polish restrictions....

One or other (or both) may give him no option IMO

Both presumably.

I see on the SGP article that all riders have to sign a contract to say that they are not contracted to any club in any other country.

Exactly!!  If there is any UK speedway later in the year from say late July/early August any re-jigged or condensed league fixtures could have an effect on those clubs using 'doubling-up' riders aside from any issues arising from the foreign leagues and their contractual obligations.

Does Batchelor still live in Poland

If he doesn`t already he will have to for a while.

Google translation from the article

Batchelor, however, has a contract in the British Isles and there was a risk that he would not agree to basking for the entire season in Poland and choose to ride in Swindon Robins. Especially that his life partner is expecting a child and she can't move to our country for several months. The Australian apparently calculated that even starting for smaller rates will earn more in Poland than in the British Premiership.

Well Batch is in the same traffic jam in Poland as Doyley this morning having travelled overnight by ferry to Holland.  I assume Batch also has gone with the same club blessing as Doyley?!

Swindon wished him well on Twitter so yes seems so

No, the Swindon management have taken the correct “vision “ as they have foreseen that there won’t be any Premier League Speedway this season and therefore given their blessings for Doyle and Batchelor to ride in Poland. 

No need to step down a league.
