Didn’t a rider get killed at Ellesmere Port practice when he lost control of his bike and tangled with the tractor on the centre green. There was a Polish match I was watching on the internet recently when even the start girls walked into the stands rather then the centre green after they had strutted their stuff. Stuart Shirley 1977 E/Port training school hit a roller centre green 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piston197 Posted June 22, 2021 Report Share Posted June 22, 2021 Scott Smith on a victory lap at Newport came across the tractor raking the track, dropped his bike and baled off, tractor continued with his bike travelling on the rake for 1/4 lap while Scotty sat on his Ar8e watching .

Can anyone tell my what is the reason for Wolves fielding so many foreign riders. I'm interested to know what the die hard fans think of this while they sit with their feet up on a Monday evening. All my years going to speedway Wolves always seemed to have a policy of fielding foreign riders...even using R/R for Hasse Holmqvist who had no intention of returning to the UK in 1976!

Pieman72 Posted June 22, 2021 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2021 Having a complete team of foreign riders is not a healthy situation but if the fans are happy with the situation then something must be going right. I haven't had one voice of dissent from any Wolves fan so the BSPA and the Promoter have been given a blank canvas. Can't disagree with that.

Not sure what the flight tickets are, but they're certainly not cheap. I bet the Wolves promotion are paying for Covid tests too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All except Luke Becker….. Very few riders in this years Premiership are “fly in, fly out”. I reckon only, Kurtz and Bewley (BV), Riss (KL), Andersen (not sure about MPT and Ostergaard) at Peterborough, Holder and maybe Ellis at Sheffield and Becker (Wolves). Changed days with no Swedes and no Poles in Britain’s top league. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pieman72 Posted June 23, 2021 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2021 No point complaining about the dire state of British Speedway as the majority on here are completely happy with the present organisation and their synopsis of running British league speedway. It's just rather sad that there are numerous speedway and grasstrack riders with a lot of investment in their equipment with little enthusiasm to ride. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
