Yes nothing wrong with gaining more experience and as its a one off meeting against some top riders nobody is going to slate her however she does. Nobody on a Championship 4 point average would trouble the scorers much in this meeting.
I would completely agree, at the start of the season you get the fans even if the team looks weak but as the season progresses, the fans will dwindle unless you have a competitive team especially if they start losing their home meetings.
Overall he had a poor season by his standards and some of his scores were very below par especially after being out injured which is understandable but never really seemed to regain the level he is capable of. On his day a very good rider at Championship level and would be a good signing if he could get back to anywhere near his best.
Milik hasnt ridden here for a very long time, if you want to sign a rider and want him re-assessed then you ask, if on the other hand you are happy with his last average because you think it be re-assessed higher then you dont ask.
Totally agree with that, always liked him, He got a bit of stick for seemingly helping Sweden in the last race at the 2004 world cup but PK was faster than Scotty on the night and would have won anyway in my opinion. I suppose his farewell should be at Peterborough but not now so if there is one maybe it should be at where his career in England started.
Glasgow probably were willing to pay more than Birmingham as the Brummies were always looking for the cheaper options . Tarasenko was a massive upgrade for Glasgow but to have a rule that the same average is used for two leagues of different standards is crazy but fair play they knew the rule and exploited it.
Glasgow didn't need special dispensation, they didn't do anything wrong, I think that particular loophole has been filled, a bit like Robert Lambert just riding in the play offs, it is the rules that are wrong.
A very happy and well deserved retirement, had his knockers but overall I think a very good rider in his day and a decent bloke. A great servant to British Speedway.
