He's looking for practise before Poland begins. he should have offered his services @ the 4s and all those other meetings he missed. paid practice my arf . jcf , stick with the bedtime stories , people believe them . so much for your big signing . 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Argos 262 Posted February 4, 2018 As Peterborough are in such a mess (of there own doing ) would Martin Smolinsk be a Possibility, I see he has signed for a Polish Team, but in all probability I would only get 2 or 3 meetings but riding for Peterborough he could get about 30 to 40, out of interest has anyone any idea what average he would come in on Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hans fan 1,001 Posted February 5, 2018 10 hours ago, Flappy said: Disagree with this everyone hates Panthers/Rathbone theory. This rule was in place when Nicholls had a deal lined up to ride for Lakeside. Panthers hadn't a clue where to go with team buildingso thought they'd wait to see if this overturned most likely after speaking with Nicholls directly who felt who could get it overturned. If Panthers really felt this way they'd be doing everything to track a sideto win trophiesand not just signing mates of the promotion would hazard a guess they were chancing there arm again , they were after Lawson way before christmas so couldn't have been 100% confident in signing nicholls . said it the other year and I say it again you don't sign announce riders until you have your no1 in place lets face it I doubt clubs were falling over there selves to sign the likes of toft grondal 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Consider the idea of signing a German rider while a British rider is blocked from a league. Speedway here is in a total mess . 3 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Because of the Holder situation? Because he struggles with team building? Because he won 2 trophies last season?
