I'll keep it short:- The last thing Speedway needs is published negativity

And your defence is for exactly the same reason.

NeilWatson, I see there's a date left open on the 25th March. Any chance a friendly fixture with us could be put together for this one? Need the Derby fix

What would be a good year for Great Britain? For me, regardless of the results it will be the team manager & riders showing passion, aggression, anger, pride etc. Even if they finish last at King's Lynn I just want to know they care unlike previous years. That alone is improvement and Rosco is the right man to bring it Has my backing 100%

I've always said, once speedway hits £20 per adult admission I'll stop attending regardless of how much I love my club. It's difficult to justify the prices now, especially to newbies. The pricing of speedway at the moment is all about sustainability rather than looking for growth. British Speedway need to keep the pricing as it is for the next 5-7 years as income v expenditure is an ever decreasing margin. The BSPA at the moment are getting things just about right, protecting costs and pricing over none sustainable quality of riders. In my opinion, British Speedway will only start a growth pattern once the"big boys" aren't required and we get back to breeding our own. I'm a firm believe that everything goes round in circles and over the next 5-7 years, if the BSPA get it right speedway will return as a know rather than a forgotten support but patience is required. Our time will come, I believe

I'm hearing that speedway is going to be on the Fantasy channel. Guaranteed quality team riding

My most favourite closed tracks are King's Lynn's Norfolk Arena, Peterborough's Showground and Sheffield's Owlerton Stadium but it won't be long until March now when they're up and running as normal

Why not use them??? Both pay good money and a Premier League football team has Wonga as a main sponsor so clearly they do pay big. I'm not keen on money lender's but these are the best possible sponsor's to get along with a bookies.

Regarding the question, my hope is simple. The racing is going to be better, the riders remain healthy and I'm sure as hell going to enjoy my speedway. Bring It On 2014

I certainly did not say that, read it again Edit: Here it is:- The facts are clear. While Peterborough are not running a team the BSPA hold all the assets. At this point Peterborough have no say what so ever where riders go and how much loan fee's are paid as they're not seeing a penny. _______________________________________________________________________ There's an important word in the above you may have missed Ok not seeing a penny may be wrong but the facts are the riders are negotiated with the BSPA & the BSPA set the loan fee. What and if the former or current promotion see of that no idea. From our supporters meeting the Buster's comments were clear. Signing Iversen & Bjerre had nothing to do with Peterborough and loan fees to be paid to the BSPA.

I think you missed the point but never mind. It's called banter, a little bit of humour etc Merry Christmas to you too and all the other nasties. Fingers crossed you return to the EL soon. Genuine future reference question time? Can Horton run 2 clubs in the same league or is that against BSPA rules???

Now it's all good and you have a team to continue watching is it now safe for me to continue giving you dirty's some sh!!!!!!!te again. Especially now you're in the minions league No point in asking just get on with it What's it feel like being a Coventry feeder club?? Your club is a joke lacking ambition and not riding in the EL Lots of hate Screamer xxxxxxxx

Robert will not be riding PL due to clashes with his European commitments.

Best wished to Steve. Definitely not nice to hear and hope the lad makes a full recovery.

This is what makes speedway fans look like real saddo's to the rest. Good jobs this isn't being seen by more than 200+ that's viewed this thread.

I agree and what gets me also is when people being their newborns to their work place to show off like a new car. OK, you're proud but work colleagues really couldn't give a sh...... I just don't get it at all

As much as we'd love Woffy in the top 10 you'd have to be fairly deluded to think he'd come above any of the top 10 picked. In fact, the biggest crime is not having Phil Taylor in the selection. He's in his 50's for goodness sake and he's probably had the best year of his life still pushing the game of darts to an incredible level. What I will say though, if Woffy goes on to win another Worldy in the next couple of years there will be justification. Speedway (and rightly so) is well well well down the pecking order. I think the 10 selected is probably the best top 10 selected in many years IMO.

Exactly. The riders should choose where they want to be not a stupid draft system. It's just unaffordable at £120 minimum If I was a drafted rider that had to travel 100's of miles knowing I'm only likely to earn £120 I'd just touch the tapes in all rides and wait to be fired and try to make the other league's pay.

All Brits, every single one of them should be allowed to ride PL if they so wish and PL team wishes to employ them as long as they're not racing in any of the league's on the Continent. Regardless of average or age we have to try and keep our own employed. Riding in the EL alone isn't financially viable

You are kidding right???? The BSPA are expecting these boys to ride 4-5 times a week in 3 different leagues for what could be as little as £600 in wages. That isn't development, that's slavery with the current costs of participating in this sport. The BSPA have no thought for the future of our own rider's yet again just the same old self interest bullpoop.

Really??? We know how some teams like to bend rules so here's how that rule will work and I will use the biggest benders in the game, Poole. Rider at No'1 has 2 0's. Another has 2 wins. What happens next???

No he isn't. Jake Knight hasn't quit. He rode for us in the NL when dropped from Sheffield and is looking for NL / PL again next season.

Is alright telling people to wind their necks in but the likes of Birks, Auty, Howarth and Lawson could now miss out as their averages may not be appealing to how teams may be set up. So we give some kids a chance but bin off the more established kids. Excellent idea isn't it, dear oh dear

This seems like an absolute disaster of an AGM to me. I'll be interested to know how this NL reserve rule will work. Are these rider's from the 2013 season or do they have to be NL in 2014. If the latter that will be King's Lynn screwed over as we'll miss out on the use of Lewis Kerr and Robert Lambert who are 2 kids that deserve the opportunity. Feel absolutely dreadful for the Panther's fans. Their worst nightmare has come true and the EL has lost one of, if not the best track in the the UK I'm actually feeling pretty sad about that AGM statement
