cowboy cookie returns? Posted February 6, 2022 Report Share Posted February 6, 2022 8 hours ago, HenryW said: Personally, I think that would be a backward step for speedway. I think the sport needs to move towards a more professional approach where riders are with ONE club only, but I know that very few in the UK agree with me on that. Totally agree the sport needs to move towards one rider one club. That would allow for some form of European club championship to be set up. To allow that to happen then a massive drive on rider development is needed not only here but thought out all the current speedway nations. My other thought which I think has been over looked is the part & influence the new rights holder of the world championship will have. They are certainly looking to grow the sport not only in its current marketplaces but also outside of these. They need strong & professional domestic set ups for that to happen. Currently not too many of those around. Any thing that moves all league speedway towards the Polish model has got to be a good thing!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hyderd Posted February 6, 2022 Report Share Posted February 6, 2022 Not enough money in UK speedway for the 1 rider 1 club rule, except at grass roots level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Smith Posted February 6, 2022 Report Share Posted February 6, 2022 As much as 1 club rider's sound good it's unsustainable. Even Sweden & Poland allow doubling up/down to an extent. All we should do here is stop double for rider's that have teams abroad. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fricke has qualified for GP's, won GP's, Holder hasn't. I think its pretty close but think id rather have Holder over Fricke, much of a muchness though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A squad system requires more riders, but we currently have lots of doubling up due to lack of riders! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In most cases it I his fair to say that the reason usually is they are scared of the backlash, the last two are likely to be very poor signings so probably won't be announced until March.

Bagpuss Posted February 10, 2022 Report Share Posted February 10, 2022 My guess would be that they are waiting for a particular rider who is signed up in Poland and Sweden to come available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that at all The last 2 could be poor granted. But only if they fail in there bid for a top rider. No point in rushing now. Its not like other teams will steal these riders. There is no need to rush 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
