Thought Cook got signed for Polish Team at end of season so how is the system flawed?

Unfortunately there is not enough of your type to keep the sport alive.Others just see it as the Mickey Mouse sport it is becoming and spend their money elsewhere. Think Len got his mate to publish the letter in the Star so as he could get his tuppence worth in by replying.Len done a similar letter last year telling everybody how great the sport still is a were are all just making it up about the shortcomings in the sport

16 meetings 1a fortnight =32weeks.that won't work either then.That would take 8 months and that's not counting our warm up Tyne/ Tweed-Tees/Tweed matches.

The season was far to disjointed regarding home fixtures to many blank weeks for whatever reasons, even the Play off with 3 weeks between home fixtures .People lose interest IMO

I can tell you where he won't be but I think you already know that one.

They can put the details in a National Magazine this week explaining their commercial matters though.

Seems all quiet on that front,Seems pointless to fine the Clubs concerned when they are struggling for cash though.

you will be the first to know,should your money be needed !

yep ,great job by everybody concerned .

If you are racing on your normal race day there should be no reason to a change the start time.Availability of riders! Shows what joke the sport is,promotions should be telling the riders not the riders telling the promotions.

Yep,and a lot actually wear them unfortunately.

Rose tinted glasses.

Suggest you read the piece again he explains why he was not dropped.

Ales Dryml ?

Totally agree we need Team ethic to return not just watching whoever turns up for you Team this week,Promoters don't seem to want to address this issue though,just keep saying there is not enough riders to go round which I don't accept.

Max is ambitious if he feels it is time to move up good luck to him.Not just hanging around to make easy money.Monarchs should do al right selling him on.

Alden Vissing Jorgensen Kus Wells Roynon Covetti If they fit.

It could be an interesting Edinburgh line up if Cook decides to stay .

What about the fans though?

Do you not think that The BSPA should be changing the rules and make sure that riders that want to be loyal to a club are allowed .By the same token if there are no fans turning up the riders can't expect to be payed money that is not there.Full time professional speedway riders in Britain will be a thing of the past the way attendances are going or a lot of Clubs will fold..While it was a decent crowd at Armadale for the Play off Final it was not the biggest crowd I have seen there.That was the average crowd afew years ago IMO.

It is a Sport,they don't have to take the risks if they don't want too,nobody is forcing them to ride Speedway to make a living.

This is meant to be a Sport and Entertainment,these greedy riders that want to ride every night of the week in a different can to take as much money out of the Sport as they can should be told to go and get a proper job.We are seeing more and more jaded performers as the season goes on due to these guys just going through the motions to take the cash on offer.The Team ethics of the sport is a joke IMO

agree with both posts,the average fan can see what's wrong unfortunately the Promotions cannot.

I want to see the best riders possible ride in PL,but for the credibility of the sport they should only rode for 1 Team in one Country.

Still injured ,needed another Op from what I gathered.Mechanic for Claus Vissing this season
