cowboy cookie returns?

How times change Peterborough qualify for the final and 2 of their top riders can be arsed to ride. In 98 I seem to remember the Craven shield final 2nd leg being rained off and and both sets of Coventry and Ipswich riders rode into November when out of contract...... Commitment vs take the piss!

If the clubs own riders can't be arsed to ride in a cup final that says alot about the state of UK speedway and unlines all that is wrong in terms of fans unable to connect to their team. I aways thought that contracts were effective until October 31st? If Holder and Wilson Dean are both out of the country then they should along with Sedgeman should face a 12 month UK ban which would also mean no visa or right of residence here for the season. Harsh maybe but the sport needs to stand up against those that think then can do what they like. Both sets of fans are being short changed.

Holder is on a weekend break with Lords Lucian and shergah

I thought he did OK with us last time around half several knocks mind. I just thought being a little older our asset and seems to enjoy being at Ipswich he would be worth another go......his average would seem attractive to.

@Gino_Manzares still looking for a club in 2018 for U.K. If you have any leads or know of any available spots, please notify. RT please! Seeing this on twitter does that mean that Louis is not going to be giving Gino a contract?

How about Hancock King Nicholls Heeps Manzares Greaves Hume or mountain For next season? Get Hancocks name on a contract we can use guests to cover when he is unavailable which I guess would be most weeks.

Spot on do away with fixed gate positions fixed riding order double points double up and down and guests

If that's true Regards Redcar then the writing is well and truly on the wall for this once great sport! The old NL had got it right the only time I remember Ipswich using a guest in there 2 NL seasons was when Andy Galvin rode for us at home against King's Lynn in an inter league challenge.

Wouldn't surprise me if both Nicholls and Manzares are at Foxhall next season.

Tung ate?

That's how myself and many thousands up and down the country feel.....

Not Jarek please.

So if it's top flight next year who should we target?

Mason Campton for next season along with one of the Riss brothers?

As a side issue John Berry predicted the mess GB speedway now finds its self in shame no one listened to the great man.

Ricky Wells I would guess owns his contact as the asset system is not really legal

I couldn't make last night. What was the crowd like compared to the play off final?

Fingers crossed the powers that be sit up and take notice this year and don't sit with heads in the sand.

Problem is if it carries on like it is at the moment the riders will have zero income as the sport will be dead. I might be alone but doubling up guest riders and double points are the reasons why I no longer attend more than once or twice a season.

It's impossible for fans overhere to feel the same when riders are racing for different clubs and guesting for the opposition. Thing is the promoter's have not grasped that and we find ourselves in a situation where we're possibly stuck with doubling up guests and other crack pot rules because they the promoter's cannot afford to do anything else and we have a rider shortage due to cut backs and lack of track time years ago. The cycle needs breaking otherwise the sport will dye.

Yes I know who we are riding against.... Being sarcastic

Tonight's Sheffield v Leicester sums it all up what a total joke!

What about Leicesters Lassie Bjerre in place of Schlien he is good around Foxhall

Tune in to BT sport tonight to see all that is wrong. A promotion/relegation meeting which could end up seeing both sides in the top flight next season while Lakeside could end up promoting theirselves . Three Ipswich riders riding for Leicester who will be riding for Ipswich against Sheffield later this week. Scott Nicholls guesting for Sheffield tonight before guesting for Wolverhampton later this week before guesting for Sheffield again later against Ipswich. Complete and utter madness!
