Nothing says deluded like them thinking they are going to start in May!! Absolutely no chance. July at the absolute earliest I'd say. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or will it be 1 Club to move out and 2 Clubs to move up to make 7 Or maybe 1 Club to move out and 1 Club to move up to make 6 Will the AGM happen this week? Who knows, crazy times!  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would it hurt to give it a go for one season? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good lawyer will run rings round them. An example. A few years ago Lakeside signed the ageing Bjarne Pedersen. A few weeks before the season started Lewis Bridger came out of retirement and was a much better prospect than the past-his- sell-by-date Pedersen, so before a wheel was turned  Pedersen was sacked and replaced by Bridger. Nothing Pedersen could do about it. His only remedy was to sue for loss of earnings but as he hadn’t raced he hadn’t earned anything.. Tough on Bjarne but he cant claim loss of money he never had in the first place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This Thursday. Stand by for another postponement as officially one less premiership team and now two other clubs with dog tracks being told no crowds this year. If there’s to be a season, and it’s a big IF, they have to have a premiership to comply with the TV contract so they will be pressing the likes of Poole and Somerset to step up with a promise of a bigger slice of the TV money and using Doyle as the no.1 in which ever team will step up, as he’s ridden for both of them in the past.  1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How does he prove his loss ? How can he prove he wouldn’t have crashed on the first bend and been out for the season ?  The three essential parts of a contract are offer acceptance and consideration (ie paymement). But whichever way you break it down the season ends on 31st October all contracts lapse. Speedway has been around long enough that even the thickest of promoters (ie Rob Godfrey) have all these things tied up in standard contracts.   1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
