Always thought the P word in Speedway was Poole

But Rider contracts run out 31st October every year.

Does anyone actually believes anything they say.

Bling and a sign written van are the most important bits of kit., You are 100% right

He knows how to play the system well, always stays one step ahead of controversy.

No Rider ever broke a Club, it's the stupid promoter who agrees to pay his demands that breaks the Club.

But it won't be Buster laying in hospital, too many times Promoters think it's a safe track to ride on, and are sadly proved wrong, should be left to the senior riders and Clark of the Course, not the Promoter, definately not the referee, most don't have a clue about track conditions. You can always get another Rider, they're just a piece of meat, but you can't always get a pound in your back pocket.

The BSPL don't have to abide by employment law, they simply don't offer a rider a team place anywhere, this has occoured many times in recent years to riders who were , lets say, off dubious character. ,

Surely that Clothing is bespoke, have never seen it in a Pencarrie catalogue.

Unfortunately it's a rule that all contracted riders know, break it and you know there will be consequences.

The best shale was Arbury shale from near Nuneaton, which was used on many tracks during the 70's to 90's, unfortunately they wanted paying for the stuff, which resulted in the supply being lost. same old story in speedway

Will BWD actually complete a season without getting injured?

Jason Bunyan now lives in New Zealand, he has an agricultural contracting business, south of Auckland.

Xylene was the best for softening, trouble was you ended up with melted rubber everywhere, some clever people made up a rotating bath that you could leave the tyre in for a few hours, so i have heard lol.

Please don't say they're banning the air horn tune as well

Didn't the flag originate from the General Lee on the Dukes of Hazzard

Let's not forget, it's the Promoter who's chasing the plastic trophies, that agrees to pay the Riders what they ask for, can you imagine what Tesco would say if you went and asked for £25 an hour to stack shelves! Everyone knows the Sport is on it's knees, but still the Promoters are agreeing to deals that will drive them further into debt, there is no answer, as there will always be at least one Promoter in every League who has big pockets and an ego to match.

As the old Abba song said, Money,Money,Money, plain and simple, perhaps the oil business ain't to good in Oz. Nobody can beat the ageing process, especially sportsmen, and you sure as hell don't bounce as well when you get older, but good luck to him, will still be a big scalp for the crazy kids to get.

Is that English or Fen talk?

All apologies accepted from those people who laughed at me when i told you Crumpy was going to ride in the UK, i didn't know you couldn't afford him though.

If you can get good odds on Crump riding again, worth a punt, perhaps the oil business in Oz isn,t great.

I may be wrong, but when riders were forced into using the new quieter silencers, you know the ones where someone or some organisation had a nice little earner out of it, wasn't this to ensure that noise levels were legal for health and safety, and so doing away with noise problems with planners, councils etc.

Must of had him quite a while then.

He certainly leads a charmed life, must have friends in high places.

Says it all about the BSPA when Patchett is allowed to promote in the UK, Pearson is just a leach on Speedway., But with all credibility in the Sport just about gone, these type of people are becoming the norm.
