    Calling people out for fights on the internet. I would happily bargain you are a frail little gimp of a man. :rofl:

    Wouldn't call a 20 Clem ex rugby player a frail little gimp of a man

    That is against the BSPA's own rule book.

    Whilst we all know the rules are being bent you will not find their names listed at more than one track. The ' offenders' have put puppets in  the title roles.

    ones that spring to mind are

    Chapman,  not listed as promoter at either Ipswich or Peterbrough is he? but as the co/ owner ?

    The Bates put Machin in at Leicester, and Dickson, whilst they covered Sheffield.

    CVS , promoter at Wolves and a shareholder at Redcar, not a promoter.

    Are there others ?

     

    You may find machine has stepped away from speedway duties until further notice & if it wasn't for buster where would Peterborough & kings Lynn be now.... I reckon maybe closed

    I think it's ridiculous to criticise individual clubs or promotions for acting in the best interests of their businesses. As Blobby says above, why wouldn't a promotion look to try and unearth a "gem" rather than keep going back to an average brit hoping they come good and push on. There are many more who fall by the wayside than those who push on.  Where the confusion comes I think is we all seem to think the BSPA should be pushing forward rules to help promote a healthy GB representation going forward. Whilst they act as a governing body so to speak, it's just a group of individual business people (and I use the term "Business people" very lightly) making stuff up to suit themselves. You could argue that a healthy Team GB helps their businesses, but I bet they would argue that a successful team helps them more. I would have thought Team GB and Rob Painter should be the ones lobbying the BSPA to make a structure that encourages development of GB riders and youngsters in particular. The PZM make the Polish rules to help develop their riders, the Swedes in the past did similar. Rob Painter should be trying the get the BSPA to do something to provide opportunities or advantages to British riders. I can't believe they didn't continue with something similar to the fast track set up they have. sure modify it, improve it, but use it to give opportunities to those British riders you think have the most potential. Other counties do it successfully, but maybe as a group they think they have nothing they can learn from other countries?

    At the same time, British riders really need to help themselves sometimes. Too many times when the going gets tough they "retire" and throw teddy in the corner. Understandable to a degree when since the age of 11 they've been told they are superstars. Sometimes blowing sunshine up kids backsides does skew their thinking. Too many times I've been talking to them and they say "no ones called me yet about a ride for next year" you ought to see the look on their faces when you ask if they have called anyone themselves.

    I'm generalising of course, there are some really good proactive riders out there and some really pig headed idiots too, the majority sit somewhere in between. Interesting what Arnieg says about Charles Wright. In 2010 as stated, Charles averaged under 4 at Redcar, he didn't have particularly successful periods in 2011 and 2012. The difference I guess is he didn't have a hissy fit and retire, he went away, considered his future, decided to change somethings and started to rebuild. A season in the NL rebuilding confidence and then taking at opportunity at Somerset when the time was right and he's built from there. the Fast Track helped him even though he decided to sit out the first year, and he progressed. You could say similar about the later progression of Jason Doyle. in 2011 there were plenty of Aussies who were considered more talented than him at the time, some of whom are sat back in Aussie now after themselves having hissy fits. (it's not just a british thing). There is an element of if you want it bad enough you'll make it and if you don't you won't. And in my experience too many young brits don't want it bad enough. Yes the system isn't perfect, Team GB should be making the BSPA do something to help, but these guys need to help themselves as well.

    It's like when the team was announced a few on here and other social media & here say grapevine rubbish or is it rumour rubbish can't think which 1 is the most negative... But let's give Jason a chance & see what he can do.. I know for a fact he will tell it how it is as he's a decent bloke even for a boro fan.. so let's get behind all at the club & support it big time & with positive response from the terraces hopefully it will be repaid from the lads on track... Smetana incidentally scored a decent 12 points in France last week but I ain't sure of the quality of riders he was up against but I do know that Adam Ellis & Dimitri berge were in the meeting..

    Thank you George. No matter what standard of team we have had over the last few seasons you have kept the sport going when it would have been easier to say goodbye. We all know the sport is dying and love him or hate him, he kept us afloat. 

    The Diamonds are now in a similar situation to that lot down the road when Havelock left the Bears and we know they have turned their fortunes around

    Now we have the new broom and hopefully a brighter future.

    Can't compare George with havvy tho.. let's just say havvy done the ground work & kept it going & the new promotion are reapin the benefits
