    Not so. See Gordon Pairman's very clear explanation of this, and other situations, in the parallel 'Loan Riders' thread running on here.

    i think it was a restraint of trade in a supposedly free labour market but i really don't want to argue because others think differently and thats fine

    Chris Holder would be a cracking signing on his average IMO.

    Yes seems to be what most people are expecting but i think he might surprise you all . I would be very surprised if he didn't improve his average in 2020.

    According to Sportowefakty, Zmarzlik beat Lewandowski to the Polish Sports person of the year. What a result for the still relatively young Pole. Granted Lewandowski was non existent in the Euro's (as were his colleagues). But, arguably out with Messi and Ronaldo, he is the most prolific CF in the world. While I would concede a lot of money has been pumped into Speedway nationally. Comments pre the event (that I read), suggested that Speedway over there is still in the minutiae across parts of Poland. Bartosz's victory should give new exposure to the Polish Ekstraliga and hopefully Ligue 1&2. Had his injuries, learning his trade under Gollob. He has produced unrivalled consistancy for the past 5 years domestically, while staying loyal to employers Stal Gorzow. A great night for Zmarzlik and hopefully a break through for Polish Speedway.

    Beaumont Sports Complex is still active though and isn't that the company that runs the site? I would guess the other dissolved companies were to do with the speedway promotion side of things?

    Agree. Any rider that can maintain his average or increase it can't be a bad rider, so must be decent, at any level.. ??

    A decent reserve may not even be a half decent rider, if Doyle and Fricke are the yardstick but could win you a trophy.

    Maybe Palavaaro was being treated like a slave and, only being available to work for the highest bidder?

    I am pretty sure Harris won plenty of heat 13 and 15s last season i would not worry about it too much. If THJ hits the ground running he will soon be in the number 5 jacket either way i think we remain competitive in pretty much all the heats with the current format .

    Never mind all that. The big question I wanna know is this chap Brian Bongo, is he available ?

    It makes a big difference for riders like Lasse Bjerre (5.92) and Ben Barker (5.28) rather than sign them on their Prem aves, wait a month & sign them on their converted Champ aves (if Lasse gets a spot for example) Lasse Bjerre (5.87 / 1.6 = minimum 4.00) or Ben Barker (7.24 / 1.6 = 4.53)!

    Ged & Neil do. One day they may tell us. Buster always puts me in mind of the smiling assassin

    therefore he WAS blocked from working - would be unlawful if he was a plumber or a teacher, that was the point i was trying to make. If a football team doesn't offer a new contract or one at reduced terms the player is free. I really can't see how anyone could argue with that. But I'm sure someone will haha

    Maybe Buster, maybe Cook, maybe both. We will never know the truth...

    Cook says he was left in the lurch after leaving Belle Vue and Buster has been good to deal with, so where does this leave the situation of him not riding for Peterborough after initially agreeing to do so, who was actually lying at the time of the announcement.

    A reserve pairing of Ayres and Covatti looks a promising one and a very entertaining one as well. If Nico moves up in to the team then he’ll be replaced by someone equally as strong if not stronger. All good.

    Hard to believe that it has been 55 years since the amazing Peter Craven died. I saw him race several times at Wimbledon and went up to Manchester to watch him race for Belle Vue against our Wimbledon Dons. He was a tiny man who had a unique style and rode with fire in his heart. RIP. He was a great challenge for the Dons top riders at the time, Ronnie Moore, Peter Moore and Ron How.

    Within certain parameters it makes little difference. A riders will set his bike up with this in mind. Possibly somewhere between 8.5 - 9 stone as a minimum and 11 - 11.5 stone as an upper limit. Outside those parameters then a rider may well be hampered. We have of course seen successful riders from the other side of both those limits but not many.
