Interesting comment. Usually folks in speedway give the BSPL a lot of flack for not planning ahead. Now they are planning ahead and trying to get a decent riders pool for future years, "folks' are once again criticising them for trying to have a plan. Nothing funnier than 'folks'. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It’s only my opinion ,it is not a criticism.If it comes to fruition then well done.I have been around long enough to witness similar attempts at long term planning and not seen any come to fruition.

Have a look around and see how many new kids are riding speedway bikes in the last 2 or 3 years and count how many kids have entered the youth rounds. Then work out how quickly we will run out of new riders for this 5 year plan. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rob obviously hasn't told you about it, so what you don't know you have invented stuff in explanation which was not true and then having a go at me.. After threatening to walk away a few weeks ago when you got gubbed by Rob for revealing confidential info, his team, you are again threatening to walk away again.

Mmm this looks good ? , Probably just what the promotion needs before the season ( hopefully ) gets going... 1 fella who wants to be involved & the other who comes up happy & laughing & has a quick word with 1 or 2 riders & then goes & enjoys his evening !! So let's hope even if there are disagreements they both have the toon halls to admit if there wrong but from what I have been told 1 of them will never admit he's wrong... & I'll look forward to reading it on the forum at work on my lunch break so please put plenty yes & knows on to keep me entertained tomorrow.. bedtime now 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Then work out how quickly we will run out of new riders for this 5 year plan. Is why it would have been simpler to just give higher assessed averages to more experienced/overseas riders. Say 5 point minimum average (for team building) for any rider with over 100 league matches under their belts. Maybe 6 or 7 for non UK riders. Provides natural openings for the young riders without requiring an inexhaustible supply of youngsters. And why you can make a 5 year commitment but can't necessarily set out how that will work across the years this far in advance.

old bob at herne bay 828 Posted February 3, 2021 Guess Poole will be making "an offer he cannot refuse" to Jason Edwards after losing Josh McDonald ? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Don't think any offer would improve what he has at Eastbourne, not just financial but being part of a 'team' that'll be built around him Brennen hopefully Kemp for years to come. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's where you go wrong John. Stating and assuming things not true to not like the scheme. Has Rob not trusted you with the info? BSPA haven't released the scheme just that there was a scheme...... the riders were all issued with the fuller document late last week.... so he asked and was put on so what's the problem.... Much easier being a critic these days It is all about opinions on forums but some on here want to be a Promoter, Manager or Referee knowing all the rules before becoming official. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well it wasn't what George said and as I posted above "I will give you the full rundown when I see you in private rather than on here" as I have done many times in the past should you require or I can text or call... not a problem and I am happy to give you a proper reply in person...
