Is there not a minimum of 8 or 9 for Premiership so CL would be that times whatever is this year’s multiple? But anyway, was there not a rule that GP riders couldn’t ride in the lower league, although Workington got a dispensation for Stonehewer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I would think that the owners are more than happy with the ROI. Owning Glasgow Speedway has given them even more ways to market and promote their main businesses. Have a look at their holding company’s accounts and you’ll see how well they’ve done 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Laguta, Zmarzlik, or, with the connection to Hancock, maybe Janowski? Or is it just Dudek after all? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

With Josh Auty taking a sabbatical a few years ago for Scunthorpe saying his head & heart wasn't in it any more but subsequently changing his mind & got a 14 day ban (slated by all & sundry on here), usually 28 days for withholding services but halved due to returning for same club. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeh but we know cook gets away with everything, same as a few others in recent years who feigned injuries so as not to get a ban for other issues Edited August 30, 2021 by brewer 1 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Whilst other teams also make signings but are not throwing money at it. Must be just us that throw money about you couldn’t make it up. Not surprising though. I'm a wee bit deflated that the experts on the speedway updates site were wrong about us getting Dudek and paying him a 5k meeting retainer 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I guess missing matches for depression / mental health would fall under the "non speedway injury / illness" rule, which I believe is a 7 day "ban"! But I can imagine the uproar if a rider got "banned" for missing matches due to mental health issues! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Glasgow are assuming he can come in on a 5 point assessed average, however he did ride in the Polish Ekstraliga for Grudziadz in 2015 & 2016 but that was as an under 21 rider. Bank holiday throughout UK but Public Holiday in England too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
