Armando Castagna article in SS.
Fromafar replied to Fromafar's topic in Speedway News and Discussions
Possibly , but they haven’t.No good waiting around for that happen like we have with everything.Far too much self interest as we all know. -
It doesn’t seem to be just Online abuse the way it reads.

Mines arrived Friday,think we just have to accepted the situation as it’s obvious the Post Office are the problem,good to see the Star doing it’s best in difficult situation.Well Done.

I find it hard to disagree with what he says.That’s it in a nutshell IMO.

Did PC not fall-out with them over who should be allowed free admission,a few years back.

British Speedway to be reborn??
Fromafar replied to MatthewAiden's topic in Speedway News and Discussions
IMO the failure to recognise the problem has been obvious to many fans ,over the last few years.The problem I see regarding riders trying to further their career and establish themselves abroad(and earn very good money)is that the names I am seeing will struggle to get regular Team slots especially in Poland ( only my opinion) and have they the financial backing to support themselves. They have commit full time to GB Team first and foremost.There are are lot of weekend Clubs in the Chamionship and that might be a problem for them.We don’t want to start using guests for missing riders abroad in the Championship.Would like to know what they are being told regarding missing fixtures in Poland if they get called in a short notice.I assume they are getting some sort of signing on fee or retainer.I know that a few years back Marcin Rempala would have liked to come to Berwick,but he was earning more sitting in pits not getting a ride for his Polish Club and they wouldn’t let him commit to GB -
It must be frustrating for SS, but at least it’s off season and fans are not really missing too much, some nice articles though, keep up the good work in difficult times.

Just tell all these riders that fancy Poland “off you go” and build our leagues without them ,we need to start at the bottom again anyway, it was all getting out of hand before the Pandemic.

Being as it’s meant to be a loan, you can see why.

Fail to see what Mike Hiftle has got to do with this thread.Just a bit of a stir I assume.

MORE POLISH LEAGUE INTERFERENCE
Fromafar replied to Gunner85's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
While this is about British Youth signing up in Poland and I wish them well,but unless they are getting a decent retaining fee I fail to see how they will get enough chances to ride and make money given the number of youngsters in Poland.Like has been pointed out British riders at a much higher level have failed to “ cut the mustard” at Polish level. -
MORE POLISH LEAGUE INTERFERENCE

Not sure about Poland but he rode in Germany in League when he was 15. -
Find the Polish Correspondents articles interesting and a good insight to the people in a behind the sport over there.

Antonio Lindbäck has decided to retire
Fromafar replied to Ghostwalker's topic in Speedway News and Discussions
Was a exciting talent at one time ,think his lack of Professionalism was his let down. -
Sadly We don’t have the leadership at theTop of the Sport to Govern these things like Spending Costs and Riders Pay.IMO
-
From Whom though
-
If it was MY opinion you could knock it all you want ,but when the people like Godfrey give these kind of thoughts it doesn’t give much hope for thE Sport.
-
They may ,but they can’t make teams sign riders they can’t agree Terms with.They could ban all Foreigners then watch all hell let loose!!! They couldn’t run a raffle.IMO .It’s all about self interest.
-
Have to agree,it’s a bit of a silly statement from Godfrey.He has no control over Clubs terms and conditions regarding signing riders.Riders averages would also have to be taken into consideration.Just a nonsense statement.
