When Poole lose, he genuinely appears 😂

Hopefully this goes ahead, should be close, we Know that Kevin goes well but first time for Mario, will he fair better than at armadale? Although armadale is tough for most newbies.

I don’t see any grey area - there can be no doubt that riders contracted to British clubs are self employed. So “terms and conditions of employment” are irrelevant. They have, instead, terms and conditions of engagement. And in the vast majority of cases, these cease to operate when a rider stops riding for a club, either because they move on or because the season has ended. I suspect that also applies even when a rider is reported to have signed a multiple year deal as these can easily be cancelled. Further, with the abolition of retained lists, no rider is tied to a club beyond the end of their existing deal. Those signed up to ride in British speedway this year will have signed a contract and it’s reasonable to assume that contract contains details of the insurance cover provided to them. The huge proviso, of course is that something as radical as the change in insurance arrangements, which, of course simply brings British speedway into line with all other national governing bodies should not only have been clearly outlined to all riders, but someone with half a brain would have found and offered to the riders additional insurance which they could choose to pay for individually. In my opinion

It's not the best start, only having 6 men, but it's still a bit surreal seeing Northampton listed as a club!

The mystery man

Who are ya?

Gated twice and didn't gate twice, simple as that.

Cheers Arfer. I bet Shovvy keeps him lubricated with flat whites at Wimborne Road!

If he comes back I will cheer him up😂

Where you popped up from.

Just like me.

Property redevelopment always wins in these such cases.

Good podcast I enjoy these 👍🏻

Yeah course it is. But as we’re here in Britain who cares about Poland? The same thing was said about Doyle for a few years now until recently. “Oh but Doyle isn’t the top man in Poland” all while he topped the British averages and by some distance until the last season or two.

Indeed... There is a certain "grey area" when it comes to riders being self employed/employees of clubs, however, there is a valid question to be asked whether this change is a change in the "Terms and Conditions of Employment" for the riders... Given insurance will be a fundamental prerequisite for riding you would presume... And, Customs and Practice, for many, many years, was the riders paid about a fiver per race to be covered, with the cover being "X,Y,Z".... Such a fundamental change to a contract, in the "normal business world" would have seen written communication of the changes to those impacted, with all the "As is" and "To be" details of the changes outlined...

This article fully tells you all about the bspl, putting aside the actual issue of the insurance which is shocking it’s the lack of reply’s the lack of solutions and just sheer incompetence of the bspl, I have said it many times speedway faces many threats of extinction from all different quarters, money, planners, greyhounds and everything else but when you scratch away at the surface at all these issues it comes back to a sport that is run so badly it doesn’t know how to defend itself and has nobody who can fight for speedway’s corner and no ideas to take the sport forward and when challenged disappears into a corner not to found,”if I put my fingers in my ears I can’t here the phone ringing then I don’t have to answer it “ that is speedway mentality, I hope Richard Coleman is the man to take on the BSPL and finally break down the barrier that many have failed at, time will tell, he has already taken the first step and rubbed them up the wrong way and they will be seething at him but we will see what happens next

Congratulations on your summary of last night's meeting

That's what he said to me in a personal message around Xmas time

I would say the end justifies the means.

Oxford didnt prepare it accidentially did they? They did it because of the weather, so the Oxford fans say. So on purpose. Maybe a different word would be better.

Bet that was a thrilling conversation 😂😂

Reading the article, he is not a happy chap and rightly so. If things do not change I cannot see him sticking around too long. Someone wants it to be professionally run and proper lines of communication while the top table are not listening and pissing off a new promoter almost before a wheel has turned. Welcome Richard Coleman to the farce that is UK speedway.

Go R/R if they’re smart

Any stream for this mtg ?

Just out of curiosity, does that mean if you prepare a boring race track on purpose it's acceptable then?
