Not angry,just chilling

The rules are as clear as mud ,regarding averages ,Ass averages guests ,riders that can double down,no wonder somebody just asks a simple question,all you have to do is give him the simple answer not question his knowledge of the rulebook

Vaculik deserves a wild card has proved he can mix it at GP level and is consistant in what we have already seen,very talented IMO. Don't think any Brits deserve a Wild Card when you see some of the young talent on the Continent

Just sums up the professional and dedication that some PL riders have if that is the case .

This looks like a Newport stuation all over again unfortunately,shame that such a well supported club has so many internal problems.

I agree, but like you say things will neve change while the Promoters govern their own sport. Self interest will always rule. Present rulebook has to be binned and a new simplified version created.

If you don't have the money or the backing I think they maybe consider their future in the sport because speedway is not a "hobby" sport IMO.Give it a serious shot by all means but if not progresing after 3-4 seasons try somthing else IMO.The foriegners do seem to be more wealthy than their British counterparts though or have found better sponsers.

A great day for the Berwick Promotion hope this will lift their spirits ,they certainly deserve a success on track to match their efforts off track .Well Done to all concerned.

Thats a Mark Courtney set up he was using

I sure Jim Hendry would be able to throw some light on this subject.Probably can be contacted through Edin burgh Speedway

There is maybe no Brit to replace ,but there are plenty more exciting riders out there to do the job

Lack of matches due to rain -offs dont paint a true picture while Workington are certainly in a good position .Teams like Berwick and Edinburgh for example have only ridden away match,so this slightly distorts table IMO.

Though Tai indicated on Sky last night that he was quite keen if offered a Wild card.

With the younsters coming through Harris will struggle in SGP Qualifiers IMO. Needs someone reliable to sort his machinary ,Ihave never seen a GP rider pull-up with bike trouble as many times as Chris in the last couple of seasons it cant all be down to bad luck (can it).

Why! This Thread was started mainly because some fans were calling for Buxton too strenthen their Team which they are struggling to do due to their pay policy.If these fans desert the club it might fold and in similiar circumstances so might others.Thats why IMO which maybe differs from yours ,so be it.

Nobody is breaking the rules,but soon it will be a league with 2Teams if finances are not taken into account IMO (Dudley v Mildenhall).

Why would you not advertise a NATIONAL event to the whole of the UK ?

Your spending to much TiME in the watchmans shop.

My point is that Teams are paying what they can afford . Buxton are no different from any other Team in this respect,they are doing a good job under the circumstances and at least the fans are seeing speedway. Lets face it the BSPA are to blame for most things that are wrong with British Speeedway.I agree NL is at a crossroads,and IMO same applies to the EL.

That was a very strong Dudley team, but that is how the league is structured ,perhaps Mr Pearson would like to comment on the Dudley wage bill.

Considering they are the one team in the League who run on a budget that the League was intended for (development of talent ) ,I think your comments are out of order.If the meetings are entertaining then they have done their bit.Glory seeking at NL level is not what it is about IMO

The bottom line is, many years ago somebody suggested lets have a 4 TT ,qualifying rounds and a Final on a neutral track would be the fairest way to go they said. Great success and good day out for fans of the 8Teams that made the Final. Promoters then decide this is a good thing lets change it so as nobody has a clue about the tournament and we can change the rules every year to suit us,just like all the other rules in Speedway .PROBLEM SOLVED.

You should be in bed to-morrows a school day

OK smart a** but if ipswich want to talk to him they will have to contact Berwick regarding the matter not Swindon

Alden belongs to Berwick.
