Clubs actively agree to meetings taking place (usually away from home), knowing their riders will be missing but will already have lined up a track specialist ringer, or two, or three, to step in.. I remember BV once riding at Arena with, I think it was, four missing due to Zagar riding in his National Championship and three others in GP Challenges.. They brought in three ex Arena riders and ran RR... They had their best performance there in years!!!   NB.  It goes without saying that any proper sport, one with credibility and integrity, wouldn't have countenanced such a thing taking place and the governing body simply wouldn't have ssnctioned the meeting taking place..

Wrong again Nellie. Cami personally or through his company has been a sponsor in the past but never a major one

And a much bigger name, meaning many of the crowd would have turned up specifically because he was (supposed to be) there... Arriving a bit late, with bikes not spotlessly clean, isn't anywhere near the level of Michael Lee in his heyday of absences...

Poole had the contact with Lightcap through Hancock and Cairns so they had a result but the cupboard is so bare these days I think you can write off 99% of any poles, danes and swedes wanting to come here going forward. This means outside the UK your really trying to rake over the coals to find any unpolished Aussie or Yank gems there are the odd ones out there with the young lad Berwick signed at reserve at the start of the season. Brady Langdon looks a really good American prospect also but again due to his Hancock connection the Fords will probably get first dibs if he comes to UK next 2-3 years.

It wont let me post the video on here. But I've posted it over on my fans page. Take a look there    https://www.facebook.com/share/g/1Jjr5JCfto/
