Besides, salt water isn't good for speedway bikes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Probably could use one of those 10ft high nutcrackers he has outside the chateau as a boat for one! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Looks like he's bringing money back in a brown bag when he travels I think any brown bags are far more likely to be going TO France rather than from!!!!?

Weeyin 1,022 Posted December 31, 2021 Browsing on championship pages, noticed that someone on Redcar thread wishes that Glasgow and Poole should both move up as we are stinking out the championship with our desperation to win at all costs, although Glasgow haven't won league since 2011 and KO cup 2016. We are the 2 most hated teams in British speedway, jealousy is a terrible thing. Looking forward to our rivalry next season Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They paid riders on time without fail, and yes initially they overpaid to get riders to come , as the travelling was an issue, but since the guarantee with a previous rider who let us down on numerous occasions, we no longer give guarantees, riders are paid on performance. Glasgow were not the top payers in the league. We are just trying to raise the profile of speedway nationally. I hope no more teams are lost. Happy new year to all speedway fans and all clubs, hope we can get rid of this covid virus and get back to some sort of normality. 10 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
