  1. If riders like Holder and BWD are giving the fingers to GB speedway it's time we sorted them out before it becomes the normal thing to do when you think you future is in othe countries .Cant remember Crump,Pederson Iversen etc acting this way at NL level in the day.Fair enough if you don't want to ride inGB but it's obviously just a wages top up for certain riders.
  2. Agree regarding long bans.The BDW situation in recent weeks has been a complete joke both on his side and certain Promoters if stories are correct.
  3. Holder should have his Visa suspended if that is the case,just taking the p#ss.The way it is worded you can bet it will be a junior at No1 for Panthers. Riders should be here till end of season full stop so they are completely to blame if they are not going to ride. Changes have to be made regarding completing rearranged fixtures.
  4. I know someone who offered to buy Neil Collins a drink one evening at Powderhall to which he replied "No but you can get me a packet of fags" Won't repeat the answer!!!
  5. You have more chance of finding out if you neighbours in the Masonic Lodge than riders pay rates.!!!!! Most No1's will think they are a top rider and can't see all the rest of the team riding for less than1/2 there team mates.In 2007 I spoke to a rider who was earning £80 appoint as an Elite League reserve.
  6. Could this be part of the confusion and the reason for the BSPA ruling,In Scotland you can self - certificate for work purposes for 7 days before you have to produce a sickness certificate from a doctor.So Cook can say he is ill( non speedway related) and not need a certificate.If the guy is ill fair enough ,BUT!!!!!!
  7. Correct, it all a bit of a farce ,maybe Sedgeman will be back in time for Christmas if Ipswich reach the final though!!!!!!!!!!
  8. Certain riders think Gb is only a stepping stone to Europe (which in a few cases it is)and have very little regard for the fans who finance them.Regs need tightened and implemented 100% no vague interpretation.
  9. Any rider should get a ban IMO .The season ends October 31st,I speedway it's pretty common for postponements and fixture changes before END of Season.
  10. Overseas riders that miss meetings because of leaving the Country should have a ban imposed IMO.Like fans say the official end the is Oct 31 st.When arranging their flights they should take that into consideration .
  11. Sorry ,I was not referring to the season ticket offer.i was replying to confirm 2nd leg date ,post seems to be missing.I do agree with you though.Also the bit about last 3 meetings tickets seems abit of a weird one.
  12. Sounds pretty horrendous ,hope he can make progress to better health.Fantastic rider and entertainer. So sad it has ended like this.
  13. In view of chairman's comment that the sport is doing OK in GB.,and most clubs are reporting increased attendances,let's have fans view of their Club. Simple Up or Down will do.
  14. Like I said earlier without JG and KH Sheffield were always going to be up against it.Have seen a lot worse matches than that.Leicester riders were sharper out the gate all night.Dont see what all the fuss is about.
  15. Wasnt in original field ( not sure why)injured now supposedly . Total plonker in my book,just taking th p#ss.Like he said rides to suit himself.That could backfire on him one day.
  16. He maybe has you pencilled in for aTeam spot.!!
