  1. It is a worrying time regarding crowd levels, and reading Buster Chapman in this weeks SS there certainly was not any great enthusiasm to ride League matches in front of reduce crowds ,he did say he was” going with the flow” if it was to happen,Poor crowds next season he would certainly” shut up shop “IMO.
  2. You obviously never seen Kildemand in mid- week.Maybe not world class but not aspent force in that League.Bad meeting maybe,they all have them.
  3. But the Promotions will still give the riders “backhanders“ that will not appear “on the books” .Lots of loopholes IMO.
  4. You hit the nail on the head there,Promoters always want to get one over their rivals . They make the excuse that the extra cash on offerfrom comes from Sponsorship Money,difficult to prove otherwise though. Davie Fairbairn at Berwick in the 80’s was one who flouted the fixed pay scales when they were introduced.Think it was the 84 team that stuck out a mile as expensive .
  5. Has been very poor last season and this season, like you say looked prospect.Does he ride Jawa or GM.?
  6. It’s been obvious for the decade at least that rider demands are above the level that most clubs Clubs can afford given crowd levels.This pandemic will highlight even more.IMO.That hope that crowds come flocking back because they are missing their speedway fix is optimistic to say the least .IMO.
  7. That will not suit everybody, will refund be an option if it does not go ahead with spectators.
  8. No don’t think he did he was catching Huckenbeck I reckon ,just failed
  9. Does that mean a refund of Ticket money then?.
  10. One for The Dean Machine,is this adjusting chain tension after a practice start REALLY necessary.?
  11. Sounds good ,hope it goes well for them.
  12. Brady Kurtz is not improving in the last 3 seasons .IMO.Journeyman rider.
  13. Think that sums it up nicely.IMO simple sport with very few rules.
  14. Agree ,but doesn’t deserve criticism.
  15. Bit unfair to criticise Bickley ,there probably a few more reasons he turned it down( unless you know them all) and it’s his prerogative.He has acted Professionally throughout his career.Im sure young Brennan will thank him for his unselfish gesture.
  16. Agree ,but you know the politics in speedway.The difference with Dudek is he qualified to ride in SGP after his ban.Grigory hasn’t.
