garyy 5 Posted June 15, 2010 Congratulations should be passed to Buxton, not only for putting a good side together but also encouraging the riders to try the next level up. If only we had a few more Buxton's perhaps the sad field for yesterdays British Final will become a sad memory and we can see young Brits going for it in the not to distant future. All power to Buxton Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dont worry about us we will be fine. Plenty of teams lose riders or aren't able to field their first choice team at all their fixtures. We don't even know what day we are riding at Rye House yet as it depends on the football so no point worrying about something that might not happen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
squall 270 Posted June 20, 2010 What's this I hear that if Cook, Morris and Wright are all missing, we can't have 2 guests? You can in the PL and EL but not the NL? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Heathcote 51 Posted June 24, 2010 Things shouldn't be too bad for Buxton, ok the loss of Charles is a blow. Between now and the 6th August though Buxton only have 4 scheduled meetings. By the 6th of August, weather permitting and barring injury Nick will have ridden his 11th meeting for Glasgow and will be promptly 'sacked' in order to preserve his 3 point average for next season.

guinnessguzzler 0 Posted June 28, 2010 May I ask a straightforward question, and I'd appreciate it if you answer the question without considering other side topics.. Do you want the Premier League to be: a ) full of foreign riders over British riders, or b ) would you prefer British riders to be given the chance? Pick a or b, no 'but's please. If you are asking a question such as that, which I add will make the sport boring then I say A! (HERE COMES MY REASON) I feel without "foreign riders" (as you put it!) there is no speedway. The racing is exciting and refreshing it's nice to have variety and without it I wouldnt go and watch.. its that simple really. Yes I think young british riders are great too... I feel it is rather unfair to knock the "foreign riders" just because they have natural talent which some do not. I pay good money to watch Buxton and feel rather annoyed that disrespectful people who have power take matters into their own hands to dis-arm the Buxton Team.. I add they did very well the other night against Cobras, very impressed that they were only 7 points down, what with not a full team! I enjoyed it very much they are great to watch with so much heart and soul! Go Robert Branford and Nick Morris!! ) You lads keep up the good work your future is bright!

I enjoyed it very much they are great to watch with so much heart and soul! Go Robert Branford and Nick Morris!! ) You lads keep up the good work your future is bright! Firstly, I was not directing this question at you, or perhaps you would have understood the context in which it was asked. Secondly, I am not against "foreign riders". I am against foreign riders coming over on too low averages. If a foreign rider comes over, improves and shows himself to be an exciting rider, I have no problem. I don't particularly like it when a foreign rider comes over, doesn't do a marvellous job and remains in the reserve berth for years to come, or when a rider comes over on a low average slotting straight into reserve berths. To be frank I have no idea to what you are referring, not following Buxton's fortunes/misfortunes, when you say you are rather annoyed that disrespectful people who have power take matters into their own hands to dis-arm the Buxton team. The point I was making in my original post was that surely you cant be against your riders being offered a PL spot/races in the PL? They dont want to be in the NL for ever, the National League is, essentially, supposed to be a development league, and not only does racing PL give them better experience but its building blocks for a better career. If a young British rider wanted to be in the NL all his career, I would think he perhaps lacked ambition to try and make it further in the sport. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
