Bradford Ace 183 Posted October 23, 2015 (edited) Forget Tai - no way on earth will he come back to the Elite League in the next few years unless something drastic happens. Why would he?? He's basically reduced his earnings by a third so he obviously doesn't need England for the money & he's made it clear numerous times that he loves the reduced work load. Obviously working for him given he's just won the World Title again!!! Only way he'd even think about coming back here in the next 5 years would be if we went to 1 night a week in England but that will never happen. And if he came back it would be at Wolves given his close relationship with Adams. For the Aces, we need to shed points if as expected we keep our top 4 from this season so would be very surprised if it isn't Richie Worrall given he's an asset & that his average will fit given his poor season in 2015.

waiheke1 4,295 Posted October 23, 2015 I doubt very much Tai has reduced his earnings by a third not racing in the UK. I'd be amazed if it was more than a 10% drop in total earnings. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bradford Ace 183 Posted October 23, 2015 (edited) I meant more that he had 3 sources of income & has chosen to lose one of those 3 so he obviously doesn't need England for the money!! Pointless discussing his name on this thread - it's about Belle Vue 2016 & he will not be a part of it!!!! Well, he will be at the PC Memorial meeting so that's as close as we're ever gonna get!!!

Interesting that & would welcome it but can't see it being Friday's as that would mean no GP boys riding in the EL?? Would have thought weds or thurs would be better personally??

Would have thought weds or thurs would be better personally?? Nope, Rosco's covered that too........they (BSPA) are speaking with BSI and hoping to conclude a deal where the GP's and British speedway work together. Interesting! Riders will have to think of another reason not to ride in England then! That reason is clearly there, it's just a case of them actually manning up and saying it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
woodenspoon 157 Posted October 25, 2015 Noticed on the Belle Vue Army site that Zagar will not be riding in the UK 2016. Nothing as yet from the Official site. Anyone with any further info ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aces51 2,778 Posted October 25, 2015 It's taken from a Slovenian press release translated using Google. Much of it doesn't make sense although the bit about not riding here seems clear. Jason Doyle it is then. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bradford Ace 183 Posted October 25, 2015 Doyley would be great but his average is over 1.5 higher than Zagar's meaning in reality we would have to lose at least 1 of Cook, Nicholls or Fricke?? Hoping he hasn't just dropped this on the Management as if so it completely screws our team building. Can't see many options out there at all to be honest so maybe they'll go strength in depth & pack the middle order with 6 point guys?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
