Hope so, same person also said that we have had talks with magic. 

Now that really would be Magic.

Pretty sure NKI will be the captain.

Experienced team man who's worked with Rob Lyon in the past for a few years, NKI also knows the club well and everything.

Magic held talks with Peterborough but that’s as far as it went. Same with dudek at Leicester. Talks start. Monies talked about both part ways. 
 

Same with Emil at Ipswich. 
 

 

riders will come Uk, but it’s the monies that stop it. Which shows the league and tracks ain’t that bad. Just the money involved isn’t good enough

This money talks hence it's very prudent of Rob Lyon and Panthers doing a deal with the Ford's for the use of their assets.

Or the case of NKI a panthers asset that ended up elsewhere

Not surprised considering how much engine room riders from abroad cost these days.

Makes sense why us and Ipswich are fighting over Richie Worrall now.

We will see, was also told Ipswich offered more money.

I'm jesting he is at Peterborough 

If I was Guy I'd be disappointed if Holder chose Boro over Ipswich given he was a big backer during his GP days. You would think that may hold some sway over his decision.....

He originally was sponsored by a guy in Whittlesey before anybody had ever heard of him

Rob Warren & Andy Miller both backed him heavily when he first came over.

I think it is good enough but they get paid too much in Poland. Doyle and Bewley seem OK with it. 

[Arch Stanton 2,255]

Think the bottom line is most of the top riders see the UK as an inconvenience and would only ride here if someone offered daft money by our standards. Doyle has been happy and settled here for years. I’d wager though that although he’s no doubt on a good deal, if the same deal was offered to the other GP riders very few if any would be tempted.

Just out of interest, can anyone say how the cost of living compares between the UK and Poland and could that influence where riders base themselves?

I'm still of the opinion riders doing the GPseries/World Championship should be detached from league racing and the competition held over say 24 rounds with investment brought in from major sponsors.

The GPs killed British Speedway - ask Eastbourne or Arena fans.
