While I don't agree with much of what the petition requests, and therefore won't be signing it, I do agree that riders should commit to riding a full season in the UK if they want to ride here. Not every rider is going to find a team place in Poland, far from it, if they want to take their chances fair enough. British Speedway can't afford to be granting facilities left right and centre due to riders being elsewhere it's so damaging to the sport in the UK. Many riders have played the "I'm going to concentrate on Poland" card in the past only to come back mid way through the season with their tails between their legs due to not being picked to ride.  There's only, what? 3 divisions of 8 teams in Poland, that's 168 team places in a very very crowded market. 

Never mind Geoff! Not sure many thought he was going to get paid 14. 

This sounds all very KL book of excuses! 

Far from it- but your suggestions are ridiculous. The sport needs big changes, but telling riders its Britain and nowhere else would just result in the majority packing up to go abroad. Poland pays, more than any British club could or will. and these boys have such short careers, giving their bodies and often livelihoods for this sport and you want to be the one to tell them to cut their options and do Britain only? Get real.

Thats a fortunate electrical fault with Bandits due to be missing two main riders 😉. Not the first time a club has had an issue when riders are absent, wont be the last, but the fixtures are piling up and yet we've seen little action in the key summer months.

One I increasingly dislike is "rider 1 off of gate two, rider 2 off of gate 4, grammatical nonsense, "from or in" would be perfectly acceptable. 🤣
