Mike0310 Posted August 1, 2023 Report Share Posted August 1, 2023 I have nothing against Rory Schlein nothing at all but when you see what young Thompson done last night and Rory is Australian I find that one a bit bizarre for me and maybe I’m cutting my nose off to spite my face but if you don’t ride in the British championship you don’t deserve to ride for Britain or am I being a bit harsh I no Poland have all the top riders in there league but there would be hell on if zmarzlik didn’t ride in his national championship.

a4poster Posted August 1, 2023 Report Share Posted August 1, 2023 I know he doesn’t have to but I wouldn’t it be a tremendous boost for the British Speedway if Woffy did ride in the British Final. An event that has held such prestige in the past but has seen it sadly diminished since the inception of the GP’s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should be in all British contracts that if you're British and sign for a British club then you should have to make yourself available to ride in the British Final.

A British Championship to find the best British rider should have the best British riders available. Is that really so hard to grasp?

old bob at herne bay Posted August 5, 2023 Report Share Posted August 5, 2023 It’s a nothing meeting now. There was a time when it was the route to the World Championship Final. Nowadays it’s a BSPA 3d ( that’s 1 1/2 p) a point meeting. No surprise at the lack of interest from riders. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never understood why many regarded the British final mainly just as a qualifying round of the World championship. It is first and foremost the final of the British Championship, in itself a worthy title to aim for. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Technik Posted August 8, 2023 Report Share Posted August 8, 2023 I have to agree to some degree, our National championship has lost a lot of it's prestige. Gone are the days when it was a stepping stone to the world finals via the overseas & inter-continental rounds, Todays champion only receives a wildcard entry for the British GP where like most wildcards they are only there to fly the federation banner & make the numbers up without troubling the score board to often.

Sounded that way on Eurosport this week. Reckon he could be tempted somewhere else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
