Carr has to be given a chance on a 3pt average,gives a lot of scope regarding second strings and other reserve,surely he impressed enough with Monarchs at the end of season to show he has talent don't think he will be an overnight success but he has time on his side think his finances might hold him back the way people are talking but if he has a Professional approach and gives it 100% that is all you can ask. Too many young riders think they have made when they get aTeam place and get a rude awakening when things go wrong.

That is more likely if they can persuade enough PL TEAMS to move up.Having been round most of the Northern tracks last season the crowd levels suggest it would be a bit of a gamble especially if a couple of Northern Teams made the jump and took away some of the Northern "local" derbies which does seem to attract travelling support.

If the GP men and the other no1's were missing then one big league might be the way to go.Doubt it will happen though.Difficult times for the sport IMO.I Personaly don't think many PL promoters would relish moving up.We shall see though.

Possibly ,but the standard of rider it will attract means it will be an Elite League in name only.Its only bailing out a failed regime IMO.Will the admission prices be reduced to match the grade of product on offer.

Another con job by EL PROMOTERS trying to save their necks just like the early 90's. It certainly won't be paying EL pay rates that have been on offer in recent seasons if rumours prove correct.Dont see any PL TEAMS with crowds to support moving up.Interesting though.

While I agree regarding season just past. The problem is that if you have a good Cup run AND finish inthe top 6 you will need another 5 /6 weeks of Saturdays the complete the season.Also there seems to be a consensus that the season runs far too late into October and the weather and track conditions deteriorate.So unless there is a restructure of the Leagues you could still have problems regarding fixtures in a shortened season.

We have to sign riders that commit themselves to the club.Ricky was a good example before his injury.To many just riding round try to top up their earnings.

while I would like to see Kozza back next year I have a feeling he will move on.

Think Claus Vissing would be a good shout,can't see him at Armadale next season and has a decent average,rides Shielfield well.

Watching the Morris incident from 3rd looking straight down the back straight it was obvious that Morris was going to attempt and outside pass as he had attempted on the previous lap and misjudged it when Joe entered the bend on the inside and hit his back wheel causing the crash IMO it was a racing incident.Wish Joe a speedy recovery. Dave Kinvig reporting of the incident is a disgrace IMO telling readers that Nick seen red mist when Joe passed him on the second bend .Claus and Joe had been leading the race from the off.Totally biased reporting.Probably wasn't even there!!!

Is it me or has the reply to topics got all in a muddle since the forum was down last week

from where I was standing he was attempting to go round Joe and misjudged it and was rightly excluded don't think it was a deliberate attempted to knockHim off took a hard fall himself.Love the Chatzone report for Ht 14 all moved out and Carr fell and was ex this time ,forgot to mention that Carr was on the inside of the other 3 riders and lost control all by Himself and fell.

could you explain the what you mean by other "less prudent promotions " in this case.

Not sure about natural ability but Cook uses what talent he has very well unlike Barker and Bridger who are wastingwhat talent they have by off track antics

Dyer 8pt average and not making money out of Speedway like you say speedway myths are very common,tracks losing 30,-40 grand a year and still running .Accountants and engine tuners seem be the only ones not complaining.!!

I know that .he should just stay at home and work.Its a sport if he is losing money he doesn't have to do it.These Aussies and Foreigners get a lot of help from people like yourself and fans when riding in Britian and still moan about being unable to make it pay.Im afraid my answer will always be GIVE UP THEN nobody owes them a living .Harsh but true IMO

while speedway is aProfessional sport it does not owe anybody a living .He will just have together himself areal job and work 40 hours a week like everybody else.

Iagree,Redcar should have been asked to compete such a vital fixture on their alternate race day the same week ,but then again we probably would have problems regarding rider availability .

IMO ,the only doubling up should be NLto PL with Pl clubs getting priority with fixture clashes,the NL teams will be able to use young talent in these situations.Cook, Barker ect should only be allowed to ride in one League.(their choice which one )

totally agree with your Post fans just want to see their seven riders riding for their team.cancelling and riding fixtures with guests while your rider is riding for a different Team you couldn't make it up.!!

You couldn't make it up just a shambles at this time of the year the clubs can't even get good publicity of the final due too the short notice regarding other fixtures.

Just Toss a coin to decide the winners ,it will save a bit of time.Play off this late in the season make the usual mockery of the sport ,what's the chances of 2 decent nights weather and tracks that have not been affected by the weather at this time of year.Just look at Birmingham the other night.To have the highlight of the Season for the Teams involved so late in the season is farcical.A radical rethink is needed but I won't hold my breath.

I agree you have to make the big decisions if you are running it as a business and Ford made them IMO. Whether he lost money on them we will probably never know .

2013/2014 could mean next year too IMO.I was pointing out that it was still a going concern.

Looks double or quits on something if you want your 50p back
