scousedave 0 Posted February 8, 2010 Is there a rule in Poland about how many foreigners each team is allowed in one match, and if so how many? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
scousedave 0 Posted February 8, 2010 No place for Scott Nicholls in 2010 ?!? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
f-s-p 832 Posted February 8, 2010 No place for Scott Nicholls in 2010 ?!? Miskolc, I think it was 1.division. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dexter 1 Posted February 8, 2010 Is there a rule in Poland about how many foreigners each team is allowed in one match, and if so how many? The only rule they have in there these days is that at least three riders in one match need to have Polish licenses. That leaves 4 spots for foreigners. The other rule is that a team can have maximum 2 GP riders in one meeting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
peatbog 22 Posted February 9, 2010 Miskolc, I think it was 1.division. Yes, Scott Nicholls - Miskolc (Hungary) , 1 Division Lee Richardson - Marma Rzeszow, 1 Division Simon Stead - Polonia Pila. 2 Division Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
davidba 3 Posted February 9, 2010 Yes, Scott Nicholls - Miskolc (Hungary) , 1 Division Lee Richardson - Marma Rzeszow, 1 Division Simon Stead - Polonia Pila. 2 Division Many other Brits in 1st and 2nd division: Div 1 James Wright also at Miskolc Josh Auty -Gdansk Joe Haines, Ed Kennett and Ollie Allen at Grudziadz Danny King at Poznan Chris Harris at Rzeszow Div 2: Simon Walker at Rawicz! If you add in those in the top league Bridger and Woffinden at Czestochowa Thats 13 Brits with contracts(Though not necessarily rides!) in Poland. If my maths is right i make it 8 Poles with teams in the UK in 2010!! So much for being swamped by Poles!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If my maths is right i make it 8 Poles with teams in the UK in 2010!! So much for being swamped by Poles!! There are quite a few Premier League sides who ride on sundays making it impossible for a Pole if they have a Polish team. As for the EL, the top Polish riders find it hard to commit to a full season, however you'll see a few added to teams during the season including Skornicki who is not fully fit yet. It doesn't look good with all the top British riders riding in the 1st division in Poland, you could say Lewis and Tai are only where they due to their age. I think were more swamped by Aussies and Danes Edited February 10, 2010 by superguest Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Robinh 0 Posted February 11, 2010 Looks like Lublin are sliding losing Tomicek, Rempala and Stichauer and only bringing in Darkin. Lodz will deffo not make any mistakes ths year and gain promotion Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
scousedave 0 Posted February 11, 2010 to be fair to the british riders: Tai did well last season in the top flight and is there on merit, not just because he's a junior. Not convinced the same can be said for Bridger, but we will wait and see. Also the 1st division is a tough division, and i think we will have 4 of the top 10 averaged riders in 2010 1st division. Richardson is good enough for top flight easily. Kennett and Harris both did well towards the end of the 2009 season, and surely Nicholls will be able to handle that level of racing fairly comfortably!

Dexter 1 Posted February 11, 2010 surely Nicholls will be able to handle that level of racing fairly comfortably! I wouldn't bet on it... Nicholls proved himself to be one of the least efficient foreign riders in Polish speedway history. I don't really know if it is his attitude, tracks shapes, financials or something else but he turns out to be a big disappointment wherever he goes. 1-st league is apparently easier than extraleague but I still don't see him as one of the top riders there. Unless of course, his preparations become much more successful than they have been so far. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
