Don't try and pull the wool over Busters eyes. It is indeed correct,he guested for swindon at Leicester and scored about 4 times more than he did for the stars when they rode there just before 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Unlike UK, or indeed Poland, at the riders’ briefing in Australia, the referee reads out a standard statement which includes offering any rider who feels uncomfortable about racing on the track the chance to withdraw without any penalty or sanction being imposed. And, despite all the comments on here, Rew’s injuries do not need surgery So MA the Over arching Control body, carries out a professional process assuming using track inspection specialists, to deem the track safe and issue a licence. However liability is transferred to the rider by way of a standard statement delivered by the Referee prior to a meeting. Why would a rider feel uncomfortable about racing on the track knowing the experts have made a thorough annual inspection of the track and deemed it safe to race on ? I guess that's how they roll in the Colony. "Everything is fine till someone takes an eye out" mentality Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Didnt know Foxhole had an "outside" ?? He'll be in the burger van on the first bend. Hope the lad's injuries aren't as serious as first feared. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JoeW436 614 Posted December 18, 2022 Do you think a few emails went out from Polish clubs this morning over to the fellas in Australia? Hopefully Keynan recovers to full health, was looking forward to seeing him ride here next year Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And, despite all the comments on here, Rew’s injuries do not need surgery You're absolutely splitting hairs by saying that Rew didn't hit the fence. The kickboards are part of the fence/barrier/banana whatever word you use to describe it. He quite clearly hit a solid part of the fence with a hard thud, and bounced back - that would have caused compression injuries, and he's incredibly fortunate to not have more than cracks or minor breaks. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

old bob at herne bay 828 Posted December 18, 2022 As the closest PL club track to me in Herne Bay suppose I should take more interest in Ippo . IF ever I could be bovvered guess its my obvious place to visit. Sadly the racing at Foxhall has never inspired me in my 40+ years of following speedway, and the team line ups in recent years always seem to have a same old, same old, stale look about them. 2023 looks like the same. Back comes Danny King, Rohan Tungate, again. Must be cheap deals. Always pleading poverty to be able to build a top side like the Belle Vue Aces, yet pin a large part of their allegedly small budget on THE top number 1 in the league. Never been a fan of Chris Louis as speedway promoter, but in his day a superb Speedway Rider. Seem to be a club " just happy to be taking part " without ever really threatening to win much .
