Davey in the SS says having a place in Swindon and Birmingham he can affordto be a full time speedway rider.Tells all really.

While I agree with you.Much depends on the wage demands of these riders IMO .

We have an obsession with employing 2 rate foreigners thinking they will be world champions in a couple of seasons.Would like to know how much financial difference to employ them, cheaper or more expensive!

It's just the usual "cloak and dagger mentality"that rules speedway

He might be right about Bewley.IMO

Foolish to fork out big money for a speedway rider these days,they will come to some agreement.

What is rigging a horse race got to do with it.? Speedway riders rig their average without betting though.!

Reider Eide was my hero for Edinburgh and Coatbridge Monarchs what a talent and gave Hoskins and every other Promoter he rode for a bit hassle.Great entertainer.

Happy New Year to all Speedway fans and hope for a bit more luck on track on the injury front for the Bandits next season.

The way way I see it is that if NBJ and Lindman don't ride to their average we could be in trouble,I feel R/r. Helped us out at home last season as Doolan Howe and Morris got extra rides. Still as long as we provide entertaining speedway that is what really matters hopefully crowd levels will hold up.The sport is still in a shambles with the rule book IMO.Cant believe some of the decisions that were agreed.

They should have scrapped doubling up and used Young British talent ,let these money grabbing riders solve their own problems.Its still a mess IMO .

A long time ,I phoned SS on wed got last weeks copy resent, got it on Thursday,then later in the day got the original last weeks copy .Proof its Royal Mail who cause all the problems regarding delivery IMO .Great service from Pinegen when contacted.

It will be a bonus for Comets fans watching youngsters like Bewley and Bickley making their way in the sport.Not enough young riders in Championship these days.IMO.

That's 3 then!!!

Was one of them the "wooden spoon"

I have to agree about how some clubs manage to balance the books,given the figures quoted regarding riders points money it certainly a mystery how some clubs are viable ,it is certainly not on crowd levels.Sponsers with money to give away seems more like it,and fans donations.

They don't get it wrong very often regarding who they sign.

I will give him benefit of doubt, as I don't see him regular and am not commenting on his attitude ,no doubt he has talent but can be a bit hit or miss depending on his gating .He is riding under control though and is stylish.Seems to do things his way regarding what meetings he wants to be at,that could come back to bite him IMO .

Thinks he is better than he is.

Well the Bandits faithful are towing the line these days,so Redcar seem to have taken over the bitching mantel on the forum.

Think if I was a Robins fan I would be slightly pi##ed off at the management letting the World Champ leave the club,espiecially if he is still riding in UK.

Is that our new No1.!!!!

We should be seeing all the Young talent in Premiership reserve spots racing each other, not riders making up the number who's only aim is get a couple of points and think it's job done.
