Not just money, it's also how erratic the fixtures are.

Rain expected all day tomorrow, £10 or not many people will be put off

Just be grateful there were no Aussie's in it, that track tonight was far worse that "That Thursday" Credit to all the riders who just got on with it

You're right, at the end of the day King's Lynn don't suffer regardless of the result. I'm sure Buster wouldn't mind a 75-15 defeat as that would be a cheaper bill to pay and it only affects the Leicester fans that turn up for this one

Oh right, so where's the benefit in the Aussies doing runners to Poland?!?

You seem to have a contradiction in your attitude. In one hand you're angry with the GP series for having a detrimental effect on British Speedway, then on the other couldn't care less about Aussies taking the p!ss

It looks like the though of me having more regular visits to the showground is off, my head can't take another dodgy promoter

That does more damage than good for British Speedway setting a poor example for future riders from around the World. Getting to the business end of the season and Peterborough just except Holder can swan off

It seems more than ever British Speedway is being taken for a ride and just being used for VISA's to ride abroad. Now Jack Holder is playing the game, a relatively new rider to Speedway across here and no doubt already being influenced. Maybe we should now do what we did to the American's many years ago. 7 average or above in the top league or VISA's are no longer renewed 9 Average or above in the 2nd league or VISA's are no longer renewed

I'd assume Jack Thomas is in for Jonasson as he's missing for none speedway commitments. Thus meaning it's an NL guest or a better guest and a 21 day ban for Jonasson.

They have and it wouldn't surprise me if King's Lynn do but what are they to do when Premiership riders don't want the bookings?!?

It's the sort of guests you have to expect on a Saturday fixture. The better riders ain't interested in guest booking's for weekend fixtures

Think we're at that point in the season where clubs are getting desperate to fulfill fixtures. We're gonna have to live with guests & R/R from here on in

I too really really hope it's Doyle as he fully deserves it but he is putting everything on the line for his clubs to. Jason leaves nothing behind but this could be his downfall to being World Champion

Also I think Batch knew he was wanted at Poole. Why else would he mention them and complain and state that Poole were desperate for riders?!? If he wasn't contacted by Poole, how would he know?!?

It would be a strange phone call as Holder's average is above Fricke's and Belle Vue are already above the 42 average

I've had an explanation and it does stack up Buster had approval from Ford to speak to Gomolski & Jonasson and also Palm-Toft In return Batchelor & Holder WERE going to Poole but approval had to be confirmed. King's Lynn team could have been 1. Lambert 7.52 2. Huckenbeck 6.09 3. Palm-Toft 6.33 4. Jorgensen 6.08 5. Jonasson 5.69 6. Gomolski 5.51 7. Porsing 4.69 Ave: 41.91 This team was rejected as there wasn't 2 Brits in the team at all times. The intention was to run a 3rd reserve (Simon Lambert) for when a rider was missing but this isn't covered within the rules. Buster was in a last minute scramble to find a Brit replacement for 1 of the new 3 riders. Auty was then submitted in place of Gomolski very late on the Friday. Due to how late the new team was submitted the BSPA only gave the approval on the Saturday. Ford couldn't seek approval to have Holder & Batchelor included because they weren't released by King's Lynn. King's Lynn couldn't release riders until approval was issued (you seen what happened at Ipswich).

What are you talking about?!? If a rider gets injured and is signed off by the doc IRR comes into play whether a manager accepts it or not. I don't get what you're trying to say

I know J.Holder's VISA sponsor is Matt Ford but he's also employed by Peterborough. Where would JH stand if Ged was to tell immigration that one of his employee's has run off to Poland to earn more money while living off a UK VISA?!?

Like it a lot The only issue I see is if a rider gets a long term injury it's harsh on the club if said rider has upped their average.

During a meeting Buster generally only communicates with the clark of the course, team manager & team captain

Let's get 1 thing straight, Rob Lyon & Dale Allitt were running the show for 2017. Chapman was simply the track curator and BSPA Chairman in 2017, he'd stepped down from the club duties very early on. Allitt has been taken ill since that Thursday and Lyon has since stepped down. Thus meaning Buster has only had to take back control of the Speedway since Wednesday 26th July. So the reality is, Buster hasn't needed to speak to any of the riders all season until now.

Nope, each engine is sold on an individual rider invoice basis. Same as any other engine supplier
