Why would they even consider riding in a league that is doing its damnest to get rid of them anyway? Zagar had already said he was looking to ride here next year and they came up with a couple of rules that effectively put a stop to it.

It seems the bspa alter the rules and screw up speedway most years. I am just waiting to see how many riders ride to get their average down at the end of the season because if they do well they limit their options or cannot get a team place the following year.

It will be interesting to see what Jason Doyle averages next year following the tweet this year that he seems to have ridden himself out of a job. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Baldyman 6,243 Posted December 31, 2017 I very much doubt it matters what the riders do next this year...as I'm pretty positive the rules will be changed yet again for the season after. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah you're right. No company would ever touch anyone with tattoos. I feel for someone like David Beckham. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Depends on your market surely. If your company produced or sold incontinence pants or mobility scooters then probably not....but if it's something young and trendy then yes I would. That look is very much a part of today's society. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bruno 1,790 Posted January 10, 2018 I've never understood speedway trying to promote itself as a family sport. All nicey nicey. Just a thought but the Polish fans don't seem that way. Does Polish speedway promote itself as a family sport anyone know 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Terry 1,319 Posted January 11, 2018 (edited) All I kept thinking was how small he looked sitting between Lampard and the hot bird. He looked like a little pixie! He was the most interesting out of the three though-although it could have something to do with the fact that I hate football and also the scouse accent.
