So which bit of "you sign this contract or you're banned for a year" is not blackmailing??
-
That's blackmail and slavery all in one.
-
There already is a window until 1st January. But rider's cannot legally be forced into contracts they don't want, that's totally against slavery laws. It should always remain rider choice where they want to be. If rider's want to move on because of better pay or they feel more wanted then so be it. If Morris is offered £100 per point and Poole offer £200 why shouldn't he be allowed to move?? If there's companies out there offering you better wages you move on, it's as simple as that to be honest.
-
That is a very poor 6
-
That's the thing, the rules are there to cut doubling up but they've been ignored and just continued with using existing Championship averages. Don't understand why you'd create such a conversion rate, which increases year on year but allow rider's to maintain existing averages, it just doesn't make any sense at all.
-
Not only the team you'll need to worry about, admission prices will shock a few away also
-
So now it's basically a track reshape and that's it??
-
There does have to be question marks on a new stadium. The greyhound fixtures are currently running right up to the 23rd February. Absolutely no way will any stadium amendments be made. At best, a reshaped track. There must still be concerns of the Robins of coming to tapes in 2019 at all?
-
If he is 5.27 he'll still fit within the points limit.
-
Foreign rider's can't be less than 4.00. A huge risk to take and would throw away 0.65 team building points compared to his Championship converted average. Stefan is the better option for me.
-
Good start to team building for the Robins. If Doyle, Musielak and Morris are your top 3 it's strong and not so expensive in averages. 1. J.Doyle 9.80 2. B.Wilson-Dean 5.14 3. T.Musielak 6.52 4. A.Ellis 6.26 5. N.Morris 6.60 6. Z.Wajtknecht 4.26 7. Stefan Nielsen 3.68 Ave: 42.26 Stefen Nielsen's average will be Championship converted due to not enough 2018 Premiership meetings. I think that above will be plenty strong enough to challenge for the Premiership Title.

Peeps, we are NOT customer's, we are supporters/fans of clubs. It's offensive to be described as "customers". We as supporters are worth so much more than a usual company customer. We as supporters dedicate ourselves to the badge far more than companies as we chop and change to gain the best for ourselves. Speedway Promoters do not respect their supporters and are treating them as customers. This is where the problem is, we are treated with no right's on how things are run, just expected to turn up and accept everything on offer. Speedway fans ARE NOT CUSTOMERS -
They have learnt from their mistakes. Rightly so, these young reserves are at Championship level rather than a couple of seasons ago at Premiership level.
-
Becker has plenty of tight track experience in the US so a week or 2 and he'll be fine at Monmore. In a tough Polish 2nd tier he showed the potential he has on the bigger tracks. Personally, he could easily match his assessed average and no doubt come with excellent equipment.
-
He might not have a choice if he wants to ride over here and the other 4 clubs are uninterested.
-
So Charles Wright is your man then. Last season Somerset: 6.44 H - 4.85 A Leicester: 6.33 H - 4.64 A Your perfect candidate Foreverblue
-
Nonsense, their averages are also low for the same reason. There's no 5-6 pointer out there that will score 5 or 6 week in week out. Some weeks they'll get 3 the next 8. The only rider's that will show real consistency are your 9 point plus rider's. Between Charles Wright and Kyle Newman there's no contest on potential improvement. Wright can do a job as a 2nd string / 3rd heatleader, Newman only delivers as a reserve.

Friends/girlfriends and alcohol etc is what keeps a rider at standstill. Robert Lambert was relying purely on ability and looked to have hit a wall in progression. Thus until his time with Woffy in 2017 and during the 2017 winter break dedicated himself to health and fitness. What a change he was in 2018, a totally different rider. Speedway today is a different animal to the beer drinking socialising mayhem it used to be. To be at the top, you have to drop ya mates and train bloody hard. There are some very very talented young rider's in British Speedway but unfortunately they get to caught up in "having fun" outside Speedway rather than the dedication needed to try and be the best they can be.

Ya need some chill pills -
Unfortunately, with the state of the British Premiership and British Speedway as a whole, looking backwards is the only way. None of the rider's you'll have in the side is forward or to the future.

You wish, the discussion is regarding Robert Lambert I'm sure you'll be happy with Simon -
What are you talking about

Swedish flag on there, so would say it's more to do with his Elitserien club
