  1. Think Haza is referring to what's been flying about all over social media in that the Belle Vue management have run out of money, rent arrears and unpaid rider's. I believe these rumours have substance but for me it was all early season stuff when the club had no home meetings to race. I'm quite sure Belle Vue are where they need to be financially now but the early season issues have just stuck like poo to a blanket. What happens over the winter months will telling so a case of wait and see
  2. You really think Leicester are worried about another fine? There is a real belief that 2016 could be the last of Leicester Lions. After being fined heavily by the SCB regarding conduct v King's Lynn at home in the A fixture and not receiving backing from the BSPA, what better way is there than to mess about the BSPA Chairman, King's Lynn's management, riders and fans.
  3. It is just UK he seems to have issues. Been excellent in Ekstraliga (Believe he's won Rookie of the Year or similar in Poland) & Elitserien and you don't become World U21 Champion being a bottler
  4. Funnily enough I've now gotten into MotoGP since SGP's switch to BT. Sure it's working both ways. This is how often PDC Darts is shown Live: http://www.pdc.tv/tournament-calendar16
  5. Correct, that why Wolves haven't started a thread yet
  6. Think it's time to prepare for righting off the 18 squiddly diddly rather than believing a meetings going to happen.
  7. 15 is a lot to pluck out, especially if you're not up with the PL / NL scene. My select few: Ellis Thorssell King Tungate Masters Starke Rose S. Worrall Kennett
  8. Wow, It seems this meeting is cancelled according to Nicklas Porsing's manager Official KLStars twitter confirmed it: "King's Lynn Speedway ‏@KLSpeedway UPDATE | Our meeting at Leicester this Friday is OFF. This is beyond our control, our riders were ready but we were informed today."
  9. You potentially have a reasonably young side in progress and if rumours are to be true of Holder moving on Harris could be a good addition with an experienced head. Just don't take set-up advice from him though
  10. I'll never agree with any rider that says they've gone to a small track to develop because it develops nothing when the ambition should be to race in the top leagues in Poland, Sweden and international individual racing.
  11. oh well, Wolves should have the Play-Offs in the bag. Belle Vue absolutely dross
  12. Genuinely looking forward to tonight and Wednesday. This could be one of the best play-off finals since 2010 imo
  13. Setting averages based on the supposed "strength" is as false as any other average system. If a rider is hitting 9 average in Ekstraliga or Elitserien doesn't mean they'll do the same in the Elite League. In fact, more often than not most rider's averages decrease due to how technical the track are here in the UK.
  14. I think Lambert will be pleased and call it a job well done to pick up the bronze. Well done to the lad
  15. Looks like the Pole's are sulking and knocked the stream off
  16. Hansen win he gets 3rd Hansen 2nd 3 way race-off??? (Lambert, Holder, Hansen) anything else 2 way race-off??? (Lambert, Holder) ???
  17. That 2nd Semi result means Lambert's picked up at least a medal right?
  18. At least the Pole didn't win it. Congratulations to Max Fricke
  19. Lambert has been abysmal so far. Age is no excuse he's just morphing into the next Chris Harris
  20. You are absolutely correct that those clauses can be given to any employee. It doesn't matter whether you're self employed or not. It's perfectly within EU employment law for an employer to offer exclusivity rights. Just to put one thing right, Pro Footballers ARE self employed signed to exclusivity contracts that have a start and end date. Footballers pay managers / agents fees to negotiate contracts, sponsorship and image rights etc. Speedway riders are in a no different position and maybe Poland are looking to becoming more of a professionally run business, set weekly wages and squad training sessions. If any country could run Speedway on the Football model it would be Poland. In terms of team Speedway it's every riders ambition to get a spot in the Ekstraliga, no different to Footballers looking to the Premier League or La Liga
  21. good job they're not female as they'd still be nagging on about the best washing up liquid, cooking pans and ironing boards
  22. With Poland's latest stunt think all is in the air If they go through with it you won't be seeing: Holder KK Lindback Janowski Milik etc etc
