Leicester have also been on receiving end of this kind of rider control while in the Premiership twice they have agreed terms with top No1 riders for their parent club to demand full transfer if Leicester wanted to use the said riders. Back to the new signing I am sure once they have got sorted at Leicester they will become a good signing I believe they have rode over here before just not on a regular basis Not likely to be a Pole because their governing body doesn't allow it, but you never know what strings Dicko can pull! So more likely a Dane then? The one who impressed me most at the recent U-21 final was Mads Hansen as he outshone his more well known team mates. But whoever it is, it's a fair old challenge to come into a league/country mid season and get into it straight away. Maybe Dicko has someone who rides Glasgow especially well, that would be sweet!

Unfortunately victor has fallen victim to this nonsense. Was being dumped by Edinburgh and being deprived of making a living also “nonsense”? Why does “if you want him, you’ve got to buy him” work when Glasgow want a Leicester rider and not the other way round? And don’t tell me that Stewart Dickson didn’t know the score when he approached the rider. He’s been around too long to make a mistake like that. I suspect he publicised it first, hoping that peer pressure would let him get the rider. The Glasgow management seem to be working towards making Speedway viable in the city, so deserve credit not criticism from less well supported and funded teams. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cough up or go for someone else. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cough up or go for someone else. The difference being football teams tend to have enormous squad sizes to start with and can go out and have the finances to go out and buy replacements at the drop of a hat if they want to.

topsoil 2,498 Posted July 28, 2019 The "asset" situation the sport uses is outdated and should be scrapped in my opinion. Once a rider is released he should become a free agent, just like every rider at the end of each season, unless they are signed on longer term contracts. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Now who would have thought you could miss an opportunity to have a go. I take it you know the full negotiation talks that went on to post this view , as SD says well within any clubs rights and he respects ours. Once again Blobby in drivel shocker.

Back to the new signing I am sure once they have got sorted at Leicester they will become a good signing I believe they have rode over here before just not on a regular basis Here we go again, a rider only wants to ride for Glasgow because they offered a deal he couldn't refuse. maybe it was the threat of a horse's head or maybe this is what happened. Stuart says to Sarg I'd like you to ride for the Lions what do you think? Sarg says thanks Stuart but I get on really well with people at Glasgow and my scoring seems to be better when I'm with them so Id rather ride for Glasgow if they want me. And do they want you? I don't know. well ask them I can't wait for ever but there's a contract now if you want it. Sarg to Cami is there a place for me at Glasgow cos I'd really like to come back. Cami, well yes. Sarg to Stuart Glasgow want me. Stuart to Cami I hear you've illegally spoken to Sarg about a team place, so if you want him you'll have to buy him. I know which option id go for. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Spot on Leicester requested a full transfer for Sarj which we paid. Glasgow request full transfer for Vic which they decide not to pursue no big deal there prerogative. Nothing to see here i am sure SD will have a suitable replacement lined up. Edited July 28, 2019 by Gazc 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No problem with that at all. By the "system" its Glasgows choice if they decide to prevent one of their "employees" from earning money whilst they are unable to give him paid work. Maybe Victor can get a spot of voluntary work whilst he waits for his employers to let him earn money somewhere it suits them more! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's not Glasgow fault that both Newcastle and Edinburgh decided to change there mind. In Leicester case they played hard ball over Sargeant so Glasgow has done the same. You have to wonder why Leicester didn't basically give Glasgow there money back or was Stuart just hoping Glasgow was going to give him a freebie. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Obviously you never moaned about the system when we allowed you to use Victor or did you ?. No didn't think so. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If Glasgow are preventing one of their employees from earning money does that mean we can assume Leicester have started paying their riders?
