You would think that may hold some sway over his decision..... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talks start. Monies talked about both part ways. Same with Emil at Ipswich. riders will come Uk, but it’s the monies that stop it. Which shows the league and tracks ain’t that bad. Just the money involved isn’t good enough I think it is good enough but they get paid too much in Poland. Doyle and Bewley seem OK with it.

Arch Stanton Posted December 20, 2022 Report Share Posted December 20, 2022 Think the bottom line is most of the top riders see the UK as an inconvenience and would only ride here if someone offered daft money by our standards. Doyle has been happy and settled here for years. I’d wager though that although he’s no doubt on a good deal, if the same deal was offered to the other GP riders very few if any would be tempted.

I'm still of the opinion riders doing the GPseries/World Championship should be detached from league racing and the competition held over say 24 rounds with investment brought in from major sponsors. The GPs killed British Speedway - ask Eastbourne or Arena fans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Experienced team man who's worked with Rob Lyon in the past for a few years, NKI also knows the club well and everything. I wanted NKI at Lynn booooooo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All academic now as all the signs are pointing towards no more speedway at Arlington. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That interest will only wane if we’re oversaturated with Grand Prix meetings. British Speedway is killing British Speedway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flappy Posted December 20, 2022 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2022 There's a very interesting rumour doing to rounds that Nicki Pedersen is in for NKI which would also make sense of the Andersen signing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pitch Posted December 20, 2022 Report Share Posted December 20, 2022 You would think that Peterborough Panthers would be keen to get the team announced so that they can get season tickets on sale? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nicki P doesn't ride in Sweden and he's been keen on a return to British Speedway for a few years now. Nicki P is at the back end of his career to so he'd probably want to get every last pound out of the sport while he still can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
