  1. Wolves used bibs along with race suits until only a few years ago when switching to solely race suits. Race suits look a hell of a lot better
  2. surely 6 of those meetings will be the playoffs, so just 12 league meetings from prem and championship ?
  3. amazing what can happen when a rider has lawyers on his side
  4. Just like the Vaculik deal was done that you kept going on about ?
  5. would you be eager to stage something that nobody even knows what the official format is yet ?
  6. Wolves went with loyalty for years and it got them one chamionship in god knows how many years. when the promotion got ruthless the last two years it resulted in a championship and a runners up spot
  7. sounds like he spent a bit too much time with Holder and Batchelor last season and is adopting the attitude they have. now for the rest of his career nothing will ever be his fault
  8. Steve, that kind of sensible thinking will never catch on in the speedway world
  9. probably best to contact clubs directly through Danish contacts. most clubs will have press and practice coming up soon which they allow other riders track time on sometimes
  10. i agree with this. the weak reserve lineup again is going to cost us in the long run. Morris for me is the same as Clegg, both haven't progressed much in the last few years. Greaves deserves a chance again after last season just for his efforts but he needs a stronger partner with him, if it was Riss he would potentially have been challenging Heeps and Howarth for a spot in the second string leaving us with a constant strong reserve. this line up leaves us with two weak reserves all season long
  11. that may be where we end up next season
  12. the old Eastbourne philosophy, win all your home matches and hope for a miracle away
  13. The top 5 looks solid if not spectacular. Very weak at reserve once again however
  14. an interesting way of doing things from Denmark. is there any extra support given to the two junior groups before or throughout the season ?
  15. Well happy with that signing today of Schlein. Showed great leadership last year when asked to step in and that can surely carry on into this season.
  16. Only worry going with Jacob over Freddie is his away form. His form at Monmore was brilliant at all times last season even though he was riding at 3 or 4 majority of it. As a number 1 added with his previous away form I wouldn't be entirely comfortable going into the season, and that is not accounting for him coming back from a serious injury either.
  17. a shrewd negotiator ? he's had a year to get a new deal in place and there isn't one.
  18. Russell's have too much control over the tv rights for British Speedway
  19. without the tv deal in place I'd think the first two things for teams to look at for team building are reducing the amount of flights they may have to pay for and also the amount of loan fees they might have to fork out.
  20. why not make it 8 for GP riders. as with the one over 8 rule you could only have 1 of them anyway if you wanted.
  21. So Swindon made a considerable loss but at the same time have bought 3 new club assets in the past 6 months in Tobiasz M and the 2 lads off Lakeside. surely if you're making a loss you don't go out spending more money needlessly
  22. would not be having either Nicol or Becker in the team, they clearly aren't ready and would need time in the championship first. also as has been proven time and again in league racing you need a strong reserve at all times.
  23. or maybe because if Holder is banned for start of season can't get a visa for any team meaning Ford can't collect a loan fee for his asset
