    I also said that I said that was over 300 points and I doubt very much i scored that many points, I’m quite sure someone on here will figure out exactly what I scored

    I mean no offence to you but you said I still gave up my job hinting that we earn loads, apologies for any offence at all as it wasn’t meant or implied

    Probably average 2 meetings a week so that’s £900 per week and like I said not bad wages, BUT if you read my first post I am willing to work 8 months of the year, the days where riders can live off speedway are gone atm. So if you divide that 8k by 52 weeks that’s £152 per week, can you live on that? I can’t and I don’t expect to and that’s why I drive lorries

    Exactly, my point is I raced because I wanted to, because I wanted to prove something to myself, not because I was going to earn millions. I am better off not racing, but is life as good? Hell no.

    To be honest dean I have no idea how many or how many points I scored, that isn’t the point I am trying to make, and no I didn’t double up. The point I am trying to make here is that riders are not on what “some” people think there are. now if we get to the real crux of the argument it’s different, riders cannot demand what isn’t there and this me,me, me attitude can’t be sustained. We need to work together, riders, promoters and fans to get this great sport back on track. i am lucky I didn’t work from 1998-2014, now I never had any real money but bloody hell I had a good life, I gave up my job for 5 months knowing I could go back, not for the money but for the life but as soon as it was over I was back at work, it’s the only way I could race

    I’ll tell you exactly what I was on if it is of such importance, it’s no secret, £60 per point, 15pence per mile and £1000 sign on fee which was split into two parts, now I don’t know exactly the amount of points I scored so let’s say 300 max and I’m being nice to myself 300 x 60=£18000, great wages, Now let’s take out the 10k it cost me to race so that’s 8k from April until mid August, not bad but not great wages BUT I have a job, I don’t expect speedway to pay 24/7 anymore, anyone who thinks that the majority of speedway riders are earning loads are deluded. Now please, don’t get me misconstrued I get that riders cannot demand what isn’t there but please, please don’t think riders are on mega bucks because it simply isn’t true

    I’m really sorry but they cannot be that reliable

  10. Honestly you've not upset me, I've had much worse said about myself 😉 I just think it's a little on the harsh side that I'm doing what I'm doing on the back of my comeback, who's to say I won't be the 7 point plus rider needed next year? Also you have to remember speedway is also a form of income to myself, imagine you got a new job, did slightly better than you or others thought you would then I said I think you should lose your job so the company can bring in someone who may or may not do better than you, but thanks anyway. On the flip side i can also see the valid points in your argument, I want the club to succeed as well. David
  11. I'll leave you to come to your own conclusions on that one. Also thank you
  12. All I do is mouth off on twitter apparently. But no it wasn't anything to do with Carl, as said we've been mates for years, others well....
  13. Wasn't wilko, me and Carl are great mates
  14. If you're gonna be dumb you've gotta be tough I was always told
