Could see Boughen replace Hagon when he turns 16. Dickson got him to sign for Leicester so would make sense imo.

It’s ok saying get Poole, Glasgow and Oxford to move up but with no consideration for the current championship? Why should that suffer because the premiership is a joke. I’d go to 5 man teams and one big league and rider 5 has to be British and under 23. Do a grading system for the likes of Doyle and Bewley etc so teams can only sign one. Or if we can’t afford them then they don’t ride here the actual future of British speedway if there is one is mightily more important than attracting a couple of gp riders back here. Denmark have 5 man teams I think. Go to one big league and hopefully stop all this doubling up once and for all… if the riders can’t afford to just do one league either don’t ride here or go get a job.

Ah was that why he never showed at Edinburgh haha, what happened between them?

Didn’t he have a bit of trouble with Derek Sneddon when they were both at Edinburgh?

It suits Doyle because he lives here as it does holder. You know as well as I do if we paid what Poland do everyone would ride here.

Absolutely! Always remember one of his interviews where he said after a World Cup and the whole gb squad were eating kebabs while he had his own food haha. That just shows had bad and unprofessional we actually were.

If you could do the same job and get paid possibly 3 or 4 times more than you do in your current job would you turn it down? Whether you or I like it or not Poland is the place to be they pay the most and that will always attract the top riders. If the uk could pay what Poland does then they’d all be riding here. It is what it is… let’s just enjoy it while we can because in 10 years time we will be lucky if we have enough teams for league racing over here. Yes it wasn’t great that a 3 time world champion wasn’t riding in his home league but I don’t begrudge him that at all it’s a shambles in this country the majority of the tracks and stadia are poor and he used to carry us during the world cups. His choice he didn’t want to ride here and we have to accept that, yes it does look like he’s coming back probably because it suits him now and it tops his bank balance up blame the current regime for allowing it to happen imo.

But didn’t he appear on bbc news and I’m sure he’s been on question of sport although someone may correct me if I’m wrong. He was in numerous tabloids doing interviews after winning his world titles but people just aren’t bothered about speedway that is the problem, you might’ve got a few hundred people up and down the country going when they discovered what it was and the novelty factor because they hadn’t seen it before and it looked exciting on the tv the clips they’d seen or whatever then they go to a uk meeting the track is unfit for racing and meeting gets delayed an hour while work gets done to it and said people won’t return. Or the ludicrous guest rules your trying to explain to a newbie that Chris Harris is employed by Coventry but tonight he’s guesting for Swindon because there rider is riding in Poland instead of the uk. People won’t understand and just think it’s a joke (which it is)…. imo the sports problems are far bigger than woffy advertising it. When do you ever see any of the current promoters promoting the sport anywhere? Why can’t they all chip in and get a proper advert out on bbc or itv or channel 4 or whatever it may be? They can’t or don’t know how to promote it in some cases yet why should that fall back on to the riders to promote the sport for them? The top riders will promote it to gain sponsorship but the vast majority of sponsor’s already know about speedway or are already involved in it.

100% nobody should touch him with a barge pole. Sentence he got was too short as well. Horrible human.

I quite like that though personally, knew he’d be starting in the main body of the team but believed in himself and knew he was good enough to be able to cope and beyond that so fair play imo.

I get that but we have to be realistic and speedway in this country is now not a popular sport well gone are the 60/70s where you had tens of thousands of people at league meetings. It’s never going to get back to those days yes you have the odd meeting here and there where a good line up will draw the crowds but in the main apart from the people who go it’s a sport nobody cares about and that isn’t going to change. At the rate we’re going be lucky if there’s a dozen tracks between the “top” two leagues next year but it’s fine because we have a couple of the gp riders over here. Looking at the crowds I don’t even know how some of the teams can afford them. IMO we should just go to one league next season 5 man teams and number 5 rider has to be British and under 23 stop all this doubling up nonsense and have the ndl for teams who just want to stay in that league with no intention of stepping up but this is all fairytale stuff and will never happen. They’ll bury there heads in the sand again and probably bring in a squad system for number one and in there mind everything will be hunky dory because we have Doyle, holder, bewley and woffy riding here.

Haha no sorry if I worded that wrong. Personally don’t think anyone would give him a chance again but this is speedway and anything generally happens.

Garrity who comes with a lot of baggage and generally gets chance after chance.

If people take chances on a certain rider who’s at hmp then they will definitely take a chance on Boxall, no idea what his average would be for ndl but I could 100% see him being one of the top boys in that league providing he had decent equipment.

Or you could look at it like any fan up and down the country has for years and seen the only way speedway in the uk was heading was downwards, woffy would’ve clearly seen the way it was being run badly as it has for the past 15+ year and when he was winning his world titles it was him alone with an embarrassing Chris Harris or Nicholls struggling to get a handful of points each gp, you can’t lay the blame on him for the way speedway has been mismanaged over here. It’s only the last few years we’ve had the youth days and the gb training camps which woffy has been involved in as well as glasgow and a host of other people, if they hadn’t bothered I dread to think what state we would be in because the people in charge have no interest in setting anything up like this.

Nothing to see here just the bspa having no thought for the paying customer and sweeping things under the carpet as usual oh and while you’re at it keep handing the money over at your local tracks so we can carry on taking the pee out of you all thanks.

What was the deal with him and Tyson Nelson? I didn’t know about this. Agree about when he injured his shoulder definitely hindered him a huge amount. I remember when Newcastle signed him as our number 1 pretty sure he broke his hand on a pre season get together. Always seems to bring a lot of baggage with him mind. Also judging by the pictures in the speedway star he looks like he’s been to the lee complin school of weight training.

Should just go to one big league, 5 man teams stop all this doubling up rubbish once and for all. If riders can’t make it pay then they don’t ride here or they get a job like they used to. Yes Doyle, bewley & emil are here but has it really done anything for the sport in this country? The crowds are hardly flocking back. They need to try something drastic instead of just rolling the same old rubbish out season after season because at the rate we’re going there’ll be about 9 teams coming to the tapes next year.

If they were bothered more like.

If laguta only ends up doing home matches every other team in the league should refuse to ride, woffy wanted to do this in the past but was refused and it’s no different now. The whole sport is an absolute embarrassment over here.

To be fair Worrall has been poor all season and tonight scoring 7 points from 6 rides at home is shocking off your heat leader.

James Pearson has been dropped.

Hi guys, I have a few dvd's available if anyone is interested they are... Premier League 4's X2 Lee Richardson memorial 2010 KO cup final both legs 2010 Premier Trophy both legs Golden Hammer (unsure of the year) James Grieves testimonial Peter Craven meeting U21 round from Berwick 2013 If anyone is interested just drop me a message thanks.

International superstar Richie Worrall being unprofessional and letting his uk club down something he was very vocal about his ex team mate doing... the only way to justify him missing tonight's meeting is if he does a np and bangs in a 15 point max and wins this european meeting

Personally I think this is a bit of a stupid statement, If the promotion can only break even by lumping £5 on the admission prices then maybe they should cut there cloth accordingly too and maybe only run NDL if they can't afford it. In times when some people have to decide between heating there home or eating meals and your going on like £5 is nothing that £5 could be vitally important to some people and if the choice was to keep a roof over my head or lose speedway then I think I know what 99% of people would choose.
