    Was he really saying that. Because dudek isnt Australian either?

    But you are right, why would we want the best rider in the world riding here if he is occasionally going to express opinions rather than only generic platitudes.

    if you want the best rider in the world riding in New Zealand , I'm sure they'll gladly come , provided you give them enough money , meantime we are discussing what happens here in OUR country with OUR speedway , which really is none of your business ,

    Yeah sorry I read your post wrong apologies. Either way though all of the names mentioned above deemed it beneficial to their careers by racing here.

    pawlicki ,sajfutdinov,zmarzlik ,dudek and vaculik .owe us nothing , they came here (or Not ) fully trained and when they decided it wasn't for them went back and raced in their own country . the Aussies owe us for training and for team places that given to a journeymen . there has never been an aussie who has gone straight to Poland , the poles wont have them until they have proved their worth ,and they can't do that in Australian leagues

    seems to me it's only Australians who want/need to train here ,and then want to be the tail that wags the dog ,, well Doyle can go swivel along with the rest of them , just leave a note saying than k you for letting me earn a living as a third heat leader in the premier league for all those years , and don't worry Jason you'll still have one supporter who will continue to argue for whats best for YOU , lucky for you your'e not German

    If that's their attitude no we don't need them. Let them find another training ground on their path to the GPs

    too late he's already had his training

    I remember Tai saying that he needed to cut down and he decided to stop riding here because he had more accidents here. I think this obsession with Poland and to a lesser extent Sweden, is ruining things here. We can't alter most tracks and we can't afford big wage bills, the only answer is to leave them to it and go our own way, personally I have no interests in foreign leagues and if riders want to ride over there to the exclusion of riding here, then that's fair enough. What isn't fair enough is riders who can't be bothered riding in their own national championship or representing their country in internationals and that applies to all three (that I'm aware of) who refused to represent us in the SWC in recent years.

    the obsession is with money nothing else ,

    Not so much speedways problems but "British Speedway" problems.

     

    Speedway is a great sport, just not in this country anymore thanks to those that attempt to run it.

     

    Fortunately we have the grand prix's which continue to be good viewing most of the time and the Swedish and Polish league's make good viewing too.

    Stuff the BSPA I don't need you to get my speedway fix anymore but without me and others your businesses will die! who needs who more?

    fortunately we have the GP for good viewing , and league speedway in this country and others props it up at it's own expense , shame the leagues can't muster the balls to say , league or GP ? see how many think they can earn a living from GP racing only , when they all come flocking back for their bread and butter , speedway will benefit from not being blackmailed , it all seems pretty simple , and needs doing before speedway gets killed off like road racing has , all the road racing tracks are blackmailed by series like BSB , and riders get creamed off to that and Moto GP , with the tracks left to stage national level meetings and struggle on week by week losing money

    who do we think will be in the promo rele meeting , I would think Leicester are the relegation candidates ..


    But the other question that is rarely spoken about, is do the Premiership want 12 Teams ?, that would mean the TV money being shared more thinly around, and Im guessing some would be against that. In my opinion British Speedway can only sustain 2 Leagues now, one being the NL which leaves 18 teams, if the Premiership can only muster 6 Teams which is highly probable then there can only be one way to go. Im predicting 1 League with 16 Teams plus the NL, Not through choice but through necessity.

    I think premiership are happy with 8 , they were bending over backwards to help Coventry until . leicester and belle vue were secure within hours of both teams declaring they would run , the BSPA withdrew Covs license

    THINK you are being a bit simplistic there. Woffinden says his bikes have been easier to ride since switching from PJR engines. Not that they are faster or more powerful.

    wonder what he'll say when he and his spanners make the wrong choices at another gp .Oh dear graversens magic spell has worn off , who's got the magical fairy dust this month ?

    I have no issue with your son, indeed he has my utmost respect as a rider.

     

    It's interesting that you label my rant 'pathetic' when it is your ongoing rant I summarised.

    I have nothing more to say to you , my boy has never said a bad word about anyone and certainly not on here because he doesn't come on here . using him and belittling him to score points against me is utterly disgusting . and I wish to have no more to do with people who would do that sort of thing ,

    lol your not a very intelligent person are you!!

     

    Have a little read of my post..................Doyle lost the World Championship last season through no fault of his own. He has been the most consistent rider for a while and therefore he would be a deserving winner.

     

    Oh and you really cant know much about speedway if you thought Doyle caused that accident...............Stevie Wonder and Ray Charles oh and the referee knew it was Chris Harris's fault..fool

    what a vile poster you are

    agree thick as 2 short planks and a vile person , I am mortified that someone as well read and well loved as YOU has had to point that out ..

    it's all fashion . a few weeks back every bit of success was credited to Peter Johns , now it's fleming Graversens turn for a day in the sun , it's all hype and nonsense theres only so much can be achieved within the rules and with a 500 cc single cylinder engine every "Tuner" has the same knowledge , over the years we have had otto weiss , then hans Nischler , then lantenhammer , then blomfeldt ,currently it's graversen , next week it will be someone else , fact is engine tuners have reached the limit of what can be achieved with a single cylinder engine , and it doesnt matter which one of the "tuners" builds an engine ,they can only do it to the same limit ,

    It's really quite simple.

     

    If it wasn't for talentless Aussies and Kiwis being brought over to Britain and having money, sponsorship, vans, engines, accommodation, private planes, and £5000 per point thrown at them Speedibee's son would be a multiple World Champion by now.

     

    That's before we get on to the ludicrous situation of support being given to the development of the up and coming young riders when 30 and above Midland League riders are being neglected.

    My son has more integrity than you in the athletes foot between his toes you disgusting piece of filth , leave him out of your pathetic rants , you are not fit to clean his shoes

    so you dont think Doyle was slightly unlucky last season then?

     

    Been the most consistent rider in the gp's for the last 2 and a half years

    No I don't ,is it that hard to understand " you dont get world titles because you deserve them" , Doyle was a victim of himself , he injured himself in an accident HE caused by riding without regard for anyones safety including his own ,

    HE probably does but hates Doyle (and most if not all Aussies) with a vengeance.

    dont forget Kiwis who haven't ridden for 40 years but still fleece speedway for all it's worth.

    I too really really hope it's Doyle as he fully deserves it but he is putting everything on the line for his clubs to.

    Jason leaves nothing behind but this could be his downfall to being World Champion

    you dont get world titles because you deserve it thankfully . doyle deserves nothing anymore than any other rider , I would be happy to see any of the other 15 win and i have my fingers and toes crossed for just that .

    he tends to spout his venom about speedway on speedway friends page or national league page but I think as you can see from his FB page what sort of person he is , there is more that's happened recently but I can't say on here but safe to say it doesn't put the trust in good light , he is a liability and should be kicked out of the trust and that is a view shared by some of them but it seems not all

    Speedway Friends ???? how does he get away with that , Karl Fiala is absolutely pathetic in his massively over zealous censorship .so much so that even the most moderate of people don't bother with it .

    maybe as a filler at the end of the season August ..lol instead of this farce they could have an inter league cup pf some sort , would be more interesting than this and any team who wanted a filler could be accommodated , last chance saloon for Poole to fiddle their way to a trophy

    To be honest - I can't wait to see what will happen at the end of this Season. Will a Team go up? Will a Team go down? Will a Team stay where they are? Will a Team lose on purpose? Will both Teams want to win? Will both Teams want to lose? Who will ride for who? Who will Guest for who? Will Team 'A' be a Team or just a collection of riders? Will Team 'B' be a Team or just a collection of riders?

     

    You have to laugh - don't you?

     

    Plenty of questions here. I look forward to them being answered in the fullness of time.

     

    Interesting times ahead.

    the current state of the premiership i wouldn't be surprised to see teams actually want to be relegated .out of the mire created by too many foreigners pandering to Polish needs ,. definiitely wouldn't want to see a thriving championship club thrown in to the mire of Premiership and wind up closing because of joining the disaster

    personally .I would like to see the end of averages for National League , some sort of restriction is necessary obviously .or cradley heath will be using 7 GP riders , but too many promising kids are sidelined by the numbers game or forced into main tram places before they are ready , and for the same reason some slow burners walk away altogether . .too much pressure on reserves to win matches as well

    ....and how many have we won in the last 40 years ? The fact is that Polish Speedwáy has got itself organised in that time, especially training wise, and British Speedwáy hasnt. In fact it's gone backwards. It's a different world these days. You also have to factor in that up to the early70's a lot of international events that "we" won were won with the help of certain New Zealanders.

    The period when British riders as a national side were dominant in World Speedwáy was actually very short.

    but oh so sweet , little boy blue taking on the worlds best an beating them ,

    We need decent British riders to plug the gap left as a result of top foreign riders leaving British Speedwáy, especially as Bluster Chapman seems to have unleashed a torrent of antipathy towards all the Aussies who are supposedly using British Speedwáy for their own ends

     

    The reality is that while we have riders like Bomber earning a decent living in two leagues over here, there is no reason to be messed around trying to get into Poland , and without top foreign riders over here the quality of the competition will inevitably get weaker with more easy wins for those with talent and less and less quality opposition to bring the best out of them.

     

    I agree with Sidney that the futures bright in terms of young Britsh talent coming through, but if the test is whether they succeed at SWC level, then the way British Speedwáy is being set up there just won't be enough class opposition over here to bring them up to a world class sharpness.

    in the 60's and 70's we won world team cups world pairs and test matches ,without the influence of foreigners

    If there is any proof of anything untoward going on, surely someone should get the Police involved. Fraud, Theft etc.. are being implied here.

     

    I, for one, had no idea that this sort of thing could possibly happen in Speedway.

     

    I suppose I am naive about such matters sadly.

    It's been going on for years . in the 80's a top rider who was also part of a tuning business had new parts every 4 races , then they were taken out and put in other peoples engines who were then charged for brand new bits

    *******************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************+

    Engines get sp**********ent back for a service but when they return they are total different engines and not the one they sent.

    That's been a problem for a few riders. Cookie one of them

    had this problem with a tuner from the Northeast, sent him an engine back after paying 400 quid for a service because He forgot to put the oil filter bolt back in , and we started it and all the oil sprayed out , so we sent it back to see if any damage had been done ,it was still running when it went back , and had just had new conrod piston and the bore relined ,+ new ignition system he loaned us an engine while he looked at the other one ,which he subsequently sold to us . messed us about with our own engine for months ,then after more than a few angry phone calls , sent us back a box of scrap , and swore blind that was the engine we sent to him , later on we heard stories of him building engines and supplying new pistons Conrods barrels etc for incredibly low prices , , send an engine to these people make sure all the individual parts are engraved with your name -
