Kedavra Posted July 3, 2020 Report Share Posted July 3, 2020 5 hours ago, mikebv said: Craig Cook said a few years ago in an interview that it cost £35k to set yourself up over there... And I presume the British lads (effectively initially on trial), won't be getting big signing on fees and 'top money' until they prove themselves. Also, by doing Poland, they lose the DU potential (and money) as they will be required to ride Fri, Sat or Sun in a normal season.. And then of course you can get replaced very quickly after just a couple of bad meetings, meaning your investment is now bringing in no money at all.. It is a big risk for those who do it, and truly a world away from the 'comfort zone' of riding in the UK, where when you get to a certain level you become 'bomb proof', with absolutely zero chance of losing your place in the top division, and you also get the opportunity to pick up lots of race win money in the 2nd Division.. There is no doubt though that if your ambition is to reach the top, then you do have to race out there as it gives you a true barometer of what level you actually are at, and where you need to improve, as well as delivering true pressure to perform against the world best.. You can only sink or swim, hence those who swim are the ones who move on to the highest level.. A lot of that makes sense, that's a whole load of money to get set up. Big gamble to take, thought a couple might have taken a punt since the British season is a bit of a write off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tarkens Posted July 3, 2020 Report Share Posted July 3, 2020 (edited) it's been raining all day in Lublin, the weather is supposed to get better in about an hour, so hopefully it'll be enough time to get the track ready for 5pm meeting.

RobMcCaffery Posted July 3, 2020 Report Share Posted July 3, 2020 (edited) Today's Air Bridge announcement by the UK Government will mean from July 11th people arriving in the England from 59 countries will no longer have an obligation to quarantine for two weeks. This deal is reciprocal so it has an impact on Poland's relationship with England. Poland, Denmark and Germany are on the list so it should now be possible for riders formerly exiled in Poland to be able to travel to England. Poland will no longer be able to claim a monopoly on speedway riders racing there. This excludes Scotland, Wales and Norther Ireland whose devolved governments have yet to follow suit. This does have an admittedly minor effect on the Ekstraliga and far more impact on England's potential to restart racing it would normally be better placed in the main forum section but given the uncontrolled behaviour in that section it's better left alone. It will also have an impact o the two lower Polish leagues in freeing up talent to ride in those leagues as well as any English activity. Unfortunately Sweden is not on the list so their isolation is set to continue for the forseeable future.
