Think Hancock also bizarre luck that a fall down the stairs finished it for him in the end. -

Philip Hellstrom Bangs being talked about for Belle Vue. Would be a good signing for Glasgow on a 6.00 average imo -
GP Boys wouldn't be going anywhere as none of them ride in both the PREMIERSHIP and Sweden. I think Doyle rode in Denmark this year but he lives in the UK so everything is fine on that front as well. The Polish rules stuffs up the Swedish League really, It would've stuffed up British Speedway but the Aussie's don't really have a choice and they have to ride in the PREMIERSHIP unless they want to emigrate which is highly unlikely considering they've got young families who are settled in the UK. Danish riders have to ride in Denmark due to Sponsorship and stuff but the only Dane's that ride in the PREMIERSHIP are.....Jeppesen, Iversen, Klindt & Kildemand. 2 of those don't even get a look in when it comes to Poland and Klindt only gets signed after the season has started if a club has an injury crisis So effictively out of Aussie's, Dane's and Swede's we're losing Iversen and Palovaara only.....Possibly Polish based Tungate if he opts for Sweden.

First it was 2 leagues and then 1, it will eventually just be Poland. British speedway needs to increase the number of active riders i.e reduce the standard of all leagues encouraging more amateurs into the sport at National league level. In the long run it would be good for british speedway, weekend speedway would be back and all the riders would be commited ( no dodgy injuries and Guests).

I dont remember them trying it if I am honest, I am probably too young. I just always wondered why they didn't try and have one team per rider, then national leagues, cup competitions and continental competitions. Would add variety, crowds would increase when a polish team came over with the better riders, more broadcast deals, etc. Maybe I am living in a fantasy land, but at the moment governing bodies are competing against each other for race nights, riders etc, rather than working together to simplify and grow the sport -
This is silly from Poland. They want riders to only ride there eventually. That kills Speedway elsewhere, then it becomes a one nation sport. Very short sighted. Just goes to show stupidity is a sport wide problem.
