Lyova 0 Posted November 24, 2006 Hmm... Mafia? Petro-roubles? BIIIG money? Top equipment? Do you know what you are talking about? It's ridiculous! Abramovich doesn't know anything about speedway. Chelsea is just a way to show his wealth, he would never invest those money in speedway. Our country is really huge and rich for talents, and I hope, that Russian teams will be very attractive for the riders from all over the world soon. For example, Yohnsson (I don't know how to spell exactly) phoned "Vostok" team manager several times and offered to ride for our team. He has already ridden for "Vostok" last year and as I understand he is interested in further collaboration. So be afraid of us! We are coming!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cwf 0 Posted November 24, 2006 What are the dates of the Russian League season? If a load of top riders decided to ply their trade over there in a new League which other European League(s) would suffer most.? Personally, looking forward to the possibility of a Russian GP!

iris123 21,110 Posted November 24, 2006 If a load of top riders decided to ply their trade over there in a new League which other European League(s) would suffer most.? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> An interesting question.The Russian league doesn't really have a fixed day,like Poland,Sweden and Denmark.If they are hoping to get top foreign stars on a regular basis and not just one or two meetings here and there i guess they have to have a fixed day.Thursday maybe?Can't really see Sweden or Poland suffering,so it will be Denmark and Britain,i guess Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In Russian league, four strong clubs, capable constantly to take the good racer. Two clubs capable to take the average racer. One club not capable nobody is not required.

HenryW 1,178 Posted November 25, 2006 Perhaps he likes the Trans-Siberian railway?
