And so it begins. Long gone are the days when you could make your own mind up!!

I see you edited that post. Is this the 'approved version' of what you actually posted in the first instance?

 

--------------------------

 

Anywho, this meeting and the Ben Fund look like getting the new season off to a flyer.

Haha no mate, I'm enjoying the peace and quiet before she gets home from work

I agree with your sentiments . but it's done now and they have turned their backs on british speedway . what I think we should be concentrating on now is ensuring there's no repeat of Jason Crump syndrome in a few years by shutting down the commonwealth apprenticeship system we have been running for the last few years ,

 

Does anyone know what he means by this

Does anyone know what he means by this

Seems abit obvious to me.

 

Step 1 - Ozzys come over, learn their trade by getting team places in the UK.

Step 2 - They then get signed by teams in Sweden and big money Poland.

Step 3 - Earn enough money in Europe

Step 4 - Get in the GPs

Step 5 - Dont bother racing the the UK

Who has done that then

Jason Crump for one - that's why he's calling it the Jason Crump Syndrome.

But he gave us many years enjoyment before deciding to end his illustrious career elsewhere didn't he. Why not pick on Greg Hancock, Andreas Jonsson, Nicki Pedersen and the like while you're at it but they are not Australians are they.

[Gemini 4,894]

Who me? I'm not picking on anyone; just saying Speedibee was referring to Jason Crump. Personally I couldn't care less who rides where.

[Bagpuss 10,779]

Jonsson didn't really learn their trade over here like Crump and Hancock did. That said I personally don't blame top riders for giving up the UK, there are too many meetings on too many different days.

 

*and Pedersen

Hans Andersen and Lee Richardson confirmed!

[TheSmiler 420]

I must say, this is shaping up to be a very good event, and I for one, will not miss it.

[Gemini 4,894]

Hans Andersen and Lee Richardson confirmed!

 

Really?

[Jacques 3,114]

Really?

 

Ha ha ha ha ha..bad Gem

 

really looking forward to this, what a great line up so far!!

[Gemini 4,894]

Hope they've got someone on standby.
