shazza13 132 Posted December 7, 2018 You are obviously very bitter about Jensen coming up north. Not bitter..more disappointed if im honest!. Especially when Rasser said your track.was ### s##t and dangerous. Be interesting to see how he performs if the track doesnt suit him Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
comet49 314 Posted December 7, 2018 We’re all very disappointed that Razza’s gone, he had some great races round DP and has a very likeable character. It’s hard for riders to turn down money though if nothing was signed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I understood that Jake Allen was a Somerset asset. Are you saying he was offered a deal by a third party by any chance. I presume his parent club would have the first option to secure his services, presumably they didn't want him or couldn't fit him in. Pardon my ignorance on such matters but could someone be so kind as to explain how the asset system works in speedway as it has never made any sense to me. I would have thought that it be better that speedway riders be classed as self employed (presumably most are and negotiate new contracts each year), or had central contracts with say the BSPA. Congratulations for securing his services for 2019 by the way, as he was one of the best riders I saw last season. Hopefully you will have an injury free year this time round.

jenga 2,998 Posted December 7, 2018 (edited) ass ets . its like running a car hire company . you own the cars. get money from the hirer . even if it does not get used for one summerseason . its cost nowt because u bought it outright . you can either use it your self . let it out to another company ( club ) so the more vehicles you have on stock, the more chance of making money off them you have . facts n figures ----------- there is only one person to ask .eh .

jenga 2,998 Posted December 7, 2018 looking @ the DVD of the play off semi @ Glasgow. the track was giving riders a good shake about . in fact the rides from both teams were not in control most of the times looks like there is more scope for improvement in the track prep .

H20 48 Posted December 8, 2018 Razzer going to be a big miss. His form virtually everywhere second half of season was a joy to watch. Some brilliant racing and also some very close calls to be wiped right out. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Some brilliant racing and also some very close calls to be wiped right out. For me he was the best rider in the league 2nd half of last season. Will be a huge miss that is for sure. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
