  1. Did Kalle not move into the team though,not dropping down.
  2. No he started over here with Edinburgh then went to Glasgow.
  3. Ksiezak's good season was mainly due to Shane Parker nursing him round Ashfield most weeks.
  4. Good post, nowadays if there is dirt on the track many riders stuggle to work out how to ride it,Its meant to be dirt track raciing.
  5. You seem to think you have mind reading capabilities thats fine by me.I'll take a chance about the next time I ask aquestion.
  6. I don't think that there are many riders that have not been given a chance in PL if they have shown some talent,it is noticable that in the last couple of years the younger ridersare actually showing some promise compared to previous years.I will concede that there are too many average foriegn riders also been given a chance in PL and you have to ask how much are they demanding in relation to British talent. Buxton have a good record for giving young riders a chance which was why I applauded their stance on wages.
  7. That is the exact point I was making and well explained Thank You. Up and coming riders with ambition will not be expecting to make money at NL level IMO,they will want expierience and track time and move on. The original 2nd division developed in to a National League and pay rates went up accordingly but there is no way that this present NL is going to be anything more that a development league in the financial climate and I admire teams like Buxton who treat it the way it was originally intended.
  8. I respect your pay policy,too many riders in NL trying to make decent money (i.e £25/pt) and treating speedway as a hobby.If every Promoter was like Buxton there would be a lot more geniune talent produced.
  9. Nigel for me ,+ The Shay was one of the finest tracks in speedway, along with Hyde Road and Old Meadowbank.
  10. Considering it was a purpose built stadium and track, if it has a real problem with shape surely it wont be too big a job to alter the shape .Lost fans are not easily tempted back, the potential is there at Liecester it would be a shame if it was lost once again for these reasons.Judging by the number of critics that are HOME fans something is not right IMO
  11. Why not. They would race 7 nights a week if the money was there.They do 4 countries a WEEK when it suits.IF they had to do Qualifiers they would manage.
  12. While Bjerre and Lindgren are borderline for top 8 they are definately in the top 16 GP riders so they have every right to be considered if they drop out of the 8. Should ALL riders be made to Qualify for the next seasons GP? that would solve all the problems.
  13. You will be saying next its a hidden agenda another guess no doubt. My original quote was track conditions from meetings I have attended and seen Charlie perform well.Ps Does this additive they have in the water stop the track drying out!!! Len better get the patent on that one!
  14. Just another stab in the dark then!!! Wrong again i'm afraid.
  15. Correct But Gjedde will need these conditions to show his best IMO
  16. The slick track and dustbowl conditions will certainly suit Gjedde
  17. As has been quoted in various articles Ryan seems to budget for his family coming over with him(no problem there) but some people might see that as" excessive."
  18. Nobody has mentioned that Ryan was not not good value for what he was being paid!! They were just pointing out that his wage demands might have been a hinderance on finding a club.He has now found a club everybody happy
  19. Only an opinion, which differs from yours ,it is a forum.
  20. Don't think there is anyone querying Plymouth crowds .It is your assumption IMO and your interpretation of the posts.
  21. Any Promoter in the PL would love to have crowds that Plymouth seem to attract.As for your comment regarding Berwick doing a "Newport" is doing a disservice to the current Promotion given the effort they have put into the Club.IMO
  22. I realise that crowd level are good at Plymouth and they will need them all to pay for the team being mooted.
