Little Thumper 528 Posted October 8, 2016 I've never quite understood why when somebody needs a football manager, they have to hire some foreign guy. There are 65 million people of this country and hopefully, quite a lot of these will still be British. Surely, if we need a football manager bod or great speedway riders, we are capable of producing a few of our own without having to go cap in hand to our foreign friends? Britain was once GREAT in many areas, including speedway. Make it so. :party: :party: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
g13webb 4,254 Posted October 8, 2016 I thought the Brexit Vote was a wonderful result. For us living in East Anglia we had lost out town, we had lost our society, taken over by the number of migrant. I'm all for anything in moderation but the numbers here are mind boggling. When I voted to leave, believe or not, I didn't give speedway a thought..... It was not that important... 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I voted leave but my motive was more to do with our country having the ability to trade freely with the whole of the world, not just one continent which is increasingly inward looking and protectionist. If you ask me, the narrow minded ones are those who support everything about the EU when there's a whole world out there..... 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lets have more riders like Michael Lee, Terry Betts and all the other Great British Bulldogs. Let's give our young riders something to aim for and lets fund the sport so that we produce the best in the world. Make it so. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Little Thumper 528 Posted October 8, 2016 Here Here, let the likes of Clegg, Bewley,Smith, Jacobs,Hume,Parkinson, Bacon, Wood,Mountain, Coles, Brennan,Jenkins,get more help and support. In cycling, they operate Talent Teams. Scouts spot the talented youngsters very early on and they are taken under the British Cycling umbrella. They get the best coaching and guidance that it is possible to get. And it doesn't stop, riders are constantly entering and moving through the system. Hence, the last few years have been pretty successful on the cycling front! There is no reason why speedway shouldn't adopt a professional approach, nurture the talent that is right in front of our eyes and stop taking the easy option of shipping in Johnny Foreigner. Be careful out there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Steve Shovlar 10,439 Posted October 8, 2016 Thats ok if you want to watch NL or perhaps PL speedway. Most EL fans want to see the best, not young wobblers. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
