T.N.T. 355 Posted February 6, 2016 Drawing board or stump up the cash for PK !!!( plan "B" I suspect ) PK wasn't down to the money and more to do with PK taking it easy and doing just Sweden and Poland. With the following Speedway gets in England and the lack of media interest it's amazing we still have some of the riders we still have riding over here.

Fourentee 987 Posted February 7, 2016 The Aces have got a solid looking side but a potential lack of practice on the new home circuit, due to the seemingly endless rain up here & getting the track bedded in, must impact on any early doors home advantage we might have hoped to enjoy. Reckon Pete Adams will be rightly seeing that as an opportunity. Expect this Wolves side to give BV a serious run for their money on Good Friday.. They'll have had more time on it than Wolves, though, assuming the opener beats the weather. Surprised Wolves haven't arranged a challenge or two somewhere to get the rust out and hone the partnerships, with such a changed line-up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Shale Searcher 1,264 Posted February 7, 2016 So PK did not consider riding for Peterborough this season I stand corrected Its always down to money, if he had a better offer here than Sweden or Poland he would have dropped one of them! If you think it's anything else, then we really are in bother.. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rainman 81 Posted February 7, 2016 Also remember if he rides in the UK he also needs bikes kit van n a mechanic for over here where in Poland and Sweden he'll use the same kit n mechanic Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
INCOGNITO 357 Posted February 7, 2016 Its always down to money, if he had a better offer here than Sweden or Poland he would have dropped one of them! If you think it's anything else, then we really are in bother.. If you think he or any rider gets paid more here than in Sweden or Poland you obviously don't realise why so many are riding there and not here. A rider can make enough money in one Polish meeting as he would in four meetings here and earning four or more times the amount in one meeting means Britain is the country they are more likely to ditch. Fixed race nights also help !! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Steve Shovlar 10,439 Posted February 7, 2016 Makes sense for wolves fans to support Cradley on a Non Wolves night and for Cradley fans to do likewise. Its not as though the two teams will meet in the same league anytime soon. Chance for someone to make thouse half and half scarves like they do at a cup final at Wembley.

FAST GATER 853 Posted February 7, 2016 Why will they finish them ...speedway is dying a death anyhow might as well take a risk rather doing the same old same old . Many tracks can't change their race nights for various reasons particularly PL tracks which would have to do so to accommodate EL tracks hoping to attract the "big names " back .It has already been said that it's that money is the primary reason for them giving the EL a miss so untold damage could be done to multiple tracks and they would beggar off again once the last drop of money dried up Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
