It says he isn't available due to a rearranged fixture in Poland... Surely that means the UK have priority? Isn't that a 28 day ban if he doesn't ride over here? 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Baldyman 6,243 Posted May 24, 2021 And this is exactly why hardly anyone takes speedway as a serious sport. One big fat farce after another. And they wonder why fans keep walking away. 8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

First having r/r for Klindt not Allen against Lynn, now this, lucky, lucky, lucky! i said at the time that no club should be given any facility ( inc Ipswich) but now the horse has bolted .... Same goes for possible R/R for Stewart, shouldnt be allowed, theres enough riders who could replace him in the 1-7. How long is the club prepared to wait ? Redcar applied for his visa in December, so another 5 months for his Witches one then? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Baldyman 6,243 Posted May 24, 2021 I think the majority of fans that still attend are partially,,,, some fully brain washed.....and will put up with and turn up and watch anything.

Which is why at the time I said we should have had 2 juniors,,, to stop this happening 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's the 'ex followers' who are not there anymore, and the silence from the spaces that they used to frequent, in the four fifths empty stadiums, that should be 'listened' to.. Wont happen though, we all know that.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Baldyman 6,243 Posted May 24, 2021 What about promotions of the other clubs,,, have they got any balls to say oi Sheffield no. Or what about the refs or whoever else gets a say. Anyone? Usual case of best interests of the sport. As Jim Royle would say..... Sport my arse 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As they know that maybe next week, or the week after, or the week after that etc etc etc... They will eventually also need a made up Mickey Mouse ruling to be given to them 'in the interests of speedway'... Imagine trying to get a major blue chip company sponsor involved with a sport ran like this...? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
