Poole could easily get close to 60 in this one Harris last 3 meetings at Poole 16 rides and 6 wins and is out of form Howarth last 3 has had 14 rides and 1 win Flint 8 rides and 1 win Add in having Jack Smith and Luke Harrison and Glasgow are very weak Rushen and Cairns can easily hit double figures Any Poole fan expecting this to be close is deluded

This needs someone who can interpret the rule book. His absence was for a family emergency which is understandable. Does the fact he was absence as a guest make any difference? A non speedway absence might mean a 7 day suspension. In which case a replacement at 75% of Kyle’s GSA of 8.28 could apply. Just my thoughts and happy to be corrected.

They publish the top earners numbers usually at the end of the season.. Usually a fair few with £600k plus... Which is why it pees off the Poles when their riders get injured riding overseas... Riders will use their signature money at the start of the season, to build not only their Polish kit, but also their GP kit, and their kit for whichever other leagues they race in.. Also. Look at any rehab that needs doing. Invariably it is the Polish team footing the bill, regardless of where the relevant injury happened.... It is big money, big pressure, big jeopardy, big consequences over there... Just how a professional sport should be..

Injuries haven't helped after Poole they have two of best UK youngsters out there.

Jeez when you look at those numbers you have to give them credit for riding here at all for relative buttons in comparison.

And Gollob

Another cruel truth of the risks these guys take for our entertainment Gundo and Per Jonson absolute top drawer riders in their day, Leigh Adams even more cruely as he had left the sport when his accident happened, plus Darcy the one rider who could have maybe stopped Bartoz.

And stay to 40 points

Probably the latter

If you read the post by arnieg, it says to bring in Charles Wright you have to make two, or possibly three changes.

Money has always been there in Poland for a while. When I worked with Adam Shields he top scored in an away meeting that Leszno won, they gave him 2 brand new engines for that performance and Thats going back a good few years now.

Yes... And some get more... Doyley got over £40k last year for one meeting... Whether they paid up might be a different matter... You can understand why some riders won't take any undue risks.. Gate and win, don't gate and settle... Especially on those "technical tracks" in the UK that seemingly you need to race on to be a World Champion... These lads on huge contracts are racing against school kids on some of these circuits... I can understand their thinking when deciding how much risk to take... To be fair, come play off time, most will bring their A Game ..

But they still keep signing them... The top tier is vital for the credibility and integrity of the sport according to Mr Lemon.. Hate the game, not the player.. Even though he cost me £90 today...

£2K a point, so £20K for 10 points?

That’s the same old excuse though.Fans are not that gullible they are voting with there feet.Its not an attraction a World Star who going to be cautious.

Didn't he get a six figure signature fee in Poland? And £2k a point?... Given the "punishment" for getting injured in another league, I would also be very "cautious" when riding over here. .

Duplicate post

He used to search through social media for his name... so you never know.

Only got 6 last time

Will Howarth be riding? Didn't he pull out of some guest bookings today?

https://britishspeedway.co.uk/miscellaneous/british-speedway-agm-statement-3/ The statement from the AGM only refers to the 'initial declaration '. I can't find anything in the Regulations that prevents a second signing over 8 after that

Quite agree with all you say. I’m a diehard who has travelled the world to watch Speedway but yesterday at Buxton was a tough watch! Still at least it didn’t take 7 hours and 15 minutes which it once took at a meeting that I went to in Argentina!

So not think these GP boys are just taking the p#ss out of GB Speedway watching Holder over the weekend beating all the world stars with ease.He he turn up here and can’t be bothered.R and R must have him under 4for the GPs at Manchester 😂😂😂

I guess those who made Sheffield favourites expected alot more from Jack Holder.Had he turned up the scoreline would have been alot closer no doubt.

It obviously does if people leave well before the end... You seem to have a Speedway promoters outlook.... "This is what you get, like it, or lump it, and don't give me any adverse feedback as I am quite happy with what I deliver, thankyou very much"....
