Others in the past haven’t… No idea, doesn't seem to be any real criteria set in the rulebook other than Quote 010.2.3 Amended MA’s With the approval of the BSP LTD GC or Directors for: - a) riders who have been absent from British Speedway racing for more than 3 seasons (The MA may be increased or decreased) b) riders who have been absent for more than 1 full season due to a speedway injury Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neila Posted January 1 Report Share Posted January 1 Like a few on here got reservations about our last signing, yes a big name (was) but probably an expensive signing living on the big name, but several under performances last year leave a lot to be desired, like his show at the pairs !!! Hope troy proves me wrong, I will be supporting home and away whatever team we have UTC 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ask Dave Mullet and Craig Watson for a start! And Simon Stead ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bruno Posted January 2 Report Share Posted January 2 12 hours ago, SteelShoe said: Personally not a fan of Batch for all the reasons mentioned on here, this was reinforced when he disrespected the paying public at the Championship Pairs last season not trying and pulling wheelies at the back. On the plus side he has great pedigree, experience and as a fellow Aussie he can hopefully help mentor young Tate. Spot on, to sign a rider with this attitude is madness 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tosh1218 Posted January 2 Report Share Posted January 2 Just looking at Workingtons team and wondering are they sponsored by Ladbrokes or William Hill as it looks like a massive gamble there taking in there inaugural season back in the Championship . As a speedway fan I really hope it works out for them but I can see a few team changes during the season .Good luck Comets on your return. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They obviously think it will work (otherwise, why bother?). All we can do is wait and see how it all pans out. As I've said before, I wish them all the very best for the coming season (see where I was born! When Newcastle were running, Workington became my "second" team!) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topaz325 Posted January 2 Report Share Posted January 2 Can see. a slow progression in stadium facilities and team structure , Rome was not built in a day , if we can win home meetings be entertaining to watch then that is the main thing. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Bachelor's name will resonate more with the "old teams'" followers than someone they may never have heard of.. They can advertise him a an "ex GP rider, who has been twice on the rostrom, Twice World Cup Silver medalist, and a former Elite League and Australian Champion". which can only help get some interest.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gotta go for Vissing imo 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteelShoe Posted January 2 Report Share Posted January 2 Josh Auty must be a tough lad, he was often in the wars but walked away from some of the nastiest incidents I’ve personally seen. Hope he enjoys his retirement. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
