racers and royals

Potenially all of them- Nice Polska league(2nd Polish league) and 2nd div(3rd Polish tier) all ride on Sundays apart from some teams like Rawicz ride at home on Saturday’s - there are TV matches on Fridays and Saturday’s for teams who normally ride on Sunday’s.

It’s 80% Sundays 10% Fridays and 10% Saturdays

No

I don`t- i see it as he is buying the clubs and paying over several seasons with additional payment(a wage) to messrs Rathbone and Louis to run the clubs for him.

With plenty of the Championship teams rider targets likely to contracted to riding in Polish teams on Saturday/ Sunday, is it not time for the BSPA/SCB to come up with a firm rule covering facilities for missing riders who are riding elsewhere. My view is any rider who wants to do Poland can only ride Premiership(no clash on Mondays/Thursday`s) - ie NO facility for a rider riding Polish league. Here is a list of riders contracted to Polish teams-only included those i would think might ride in Championship.Poland do use a squad system so some listed below are not guaranteed meetings over there. Ellis Lidsey Erik Riss Bewley Etheridge Schlein Tungate Jorgensen Wilson-Dean Becker Grajczonek Morris Palm-Toft Summers Vissing Klindt Masters Jensen Lyager Aarnio Kus Stewart Stichauer Albin Todd Kurtz Keynan Rew Lawson Wright Bellego Bach Berge Wells Manzares

Wells is riding for Bydgoszcz in 2019 and Lawson has signed for Opole.

Blimey !!! the fans will flock in to see that ROW side.

Not sure if they were the same owners but back then wasn`t it "Tee mill" tours ?

Or get the regular season out the way by the end of August and have the top 4 go into a mini- league(3 home matches) and the top 2 after 6 matches each, go into the grand final H and A

This week`s purchases by Buster remind me very much of the scenario Terry Russell faced when he was chairman and purchased (or invested in) clubs just so the top league could meet the minimum number of teams for the TV contract

Maybe from Cheryl she is a Littlechild family member.

I think they mean that riders who didn`t achieve a average of 3 points in the Premiership in 2018 are not eligible to be signed ie Jack Smith,Max Clegg. Will not stop new riders joining who`s assessed average is 3 or more.

Told you so

It doesn`t - he was just using the failure to get an average as an indicator that the British riders were not getting Polish meetings.

Several Extraleague teams have been snapping up the best of the U21 polish riders from Nice Polska and div 2 leagues. They still have it all to do to match Kubera/ Smektala at Leszno but most teams now have 2 semi-decent reserves.

GI appointed a new Thai director 2 months ago Phanuthep Brarypaul. I wonder what his specialist field is ??

You used the word " Turmoil" - maybe " uncertainty " would have been a better word I love my trips to some of the big dog meetings - ie Trainers championship night and Towcester was such a brilliant night out !!

It`s not all doom and gloom as Towcester Racecourse assets including the greyhound track were sold yesterday to a company linked to the Hesketh family- with more news expected early in 2019 https://www.racingpost.com/news/towcester-fate-to-be-known-in-new-year-after-racing-assets-sold-to-new-company/353599

Keep an eye on here i would suggest- just says November http://www.speedway-prague.cz/

The FIM/ BSI will change the rule so that all competing GP riders will be required to attend the draw immediately before practice or forfeit their place- No way will Polish Extraleague matches take place the night before a GP . !!!!!!

If you think that Chris Harris wasn`t on over £100 per point at Rye house then you are living in cloud cuckoo land !!!!!

Indeed- but is it fair on the FIM/BSI that a rider could be injured riding Polish league the night before and no time available to get a next in line rider in. Plus i`m sure some riders are more then happy to try out their various engines at practice.Poland has gone to far on this one and they won`t win !!!!!!

No not really here are the latest confirmed line-ups-some not confirmed like Pawel Przedpelski to Czestochowa https://sportowefakty.wp.pl/zuzel/784378/sklady-druzyn-pge-ekstraliga-2019 https://sportowefakty.wp.pl/zuzel/784577/sklady-druzyn-nice-1-liga-zuzlowa-2019 https://sportowefakty.wp.pl/zuzel/784586/sklady-druzyn-2-liga-zuzlowa-2019
