Let’s be honest… we know he ain’t gonna be rushing back soon if at all! The horses for courses game will be played where it can and for the longest time possible… it’s been done for years!

Bradley probly doesnt, as he was in National League when he first came over.  He'll have some degree of patriality.  If George Congreve is also of British stock and can ride for The Geezers without a permit, might he be found an NDL club to boost his track-time, and confidence, as he battles to make his way up the speedway ladder?

BWD was the reason/trigger for NDL riders needing a british passport and was introduced the year after he came over. Hence no more great overseas break throughs since.

Where did BDW pick up his injury, and what is it? 

Either nobody knows or they will not tell us if they do!

Championship will never be any good while it has heat leaders that are also riding as heat leaders in the premiership. Championship heat leaders should be fighting to get a reserve or second string berth in the premiership not heat leader status. That would then make the championship sides less of a jump from NDL level for the youngsters coming through.

Doesn't that mean that, the Championship is doing ok but the Premier League needs to improve?

TBF, the Friday fixture is just about a dead rubber and why incur any extra costs for a guest? Might aswell let the rest of the lads a 'chance' to earn a little bit more. The home meetings should take priority/keep home fans interested in today's climate,,, cos if you ain't got any home fans to support you, av a hunch that you'll inevitably have less chance of away support?

You're right, but where is BWD? Is he happy not riding and not being paid (surely not?) or is he being paid and not riding (even more surely not?)

It benefits Newcastle, but where is BWD?

BWD is in the UK.

TBF, although disappointed at the result a wasn't disappointed at the meeting. Was a couple of decent races and, a think the Newcastle riders put in a good deal of effort, Matty didn't seem quite as sharp as normal, Complin lost a few points to bike/riding issues, but James did really well. If there wasn't any machinery issues or we had a half decent performance from no.1, we could have won.

Pity Harris never put the same effort in yesterday at Newcastle like he has today at Peterborough

Care to enlighten us on the murmurs?

There will be 14 riders who go around the country seven nights a week representing every one of the teams...

Saturday and Sundays will have a "matinee match" at 12pm so the 14 lads can get to their evening meetings....

Nine matches per week, 18 teams, nine of equal capability, nine others of equal capability....

Plenty of riders to replace poor performers and injuries..

Bomber can ride for both teams...

As long as there isn't a Lucky Loser, the league might have some credibility
