its been said on a few posts that newcomers are still on a 2 point average no restrictions means you dont have to use a 2 point rider

sure it was said 42.50 limit with no restrictions think the compulsery 2ppointer rule was a big disaster so back to the old way just let teams fill the places with whoever they think will do the job or fit the budget

roynons a great guy though aint he always very friendly with fans from all teams

there were rumours mid season bewley would be at workington next year and as he lives only a few miles from workington its not really that strange he was there

im happy for glasgow fans as they were alwaysgood friendly fans but now all other clubs have to try compete with the glasgow promotion which is a negative in the current climet

jorgonson had a mixed season some very good some poor i think the main problem was everyone expected more from him

dont know if its true or not but been told any riding in poland can only ride 1 other league

so they have said hope to announce 1st rider next week so who do you all think it will be and why do you think they announce that 1 first

yep granted testimonial aswell thought he retiered last year then came back isnt that breaking contract ?

there isnt such a thing as meaniless fixtures there all there for to entertain the fans regardless of cup ties league or friendlys i go to be entertained not to see if they get through to the next round

would love to see good crowd back at workintgton great track for speedway laura deserves some return just need a different atitude from all fans and promotion need to gel

well dont know what meetings you went to maybe meet the rider meetings in the bar i admit there were some really poor crowds but there was never any meetings less than 300

ive heard all this crap about tourists in the lake district but how many are going to travel from the tourist areas while on holiday on our roads to workington also our promotion last year wouldnt speak to fans so how are they gonna get visitors to travel from a hour or so away to watch speedway with absolutly zero promoting

workingtons biggest problem over the last few years is the hositile atitude between fans and promotion cumbrians take offense atbeing treated with no respect the fans and promotion need to work together

glasgow were granted a change of race night last season so they should be last on the list to change again never mind being so close to edinbrugh who allready run fridays but in comets corner its been proved saturday is the most popular with fans at least it wasyears back maybe a switch to friday would work but they were talking wednesdays which would have been suicide for the club

were never gonna run a squd system in uk there just isnt the money to keep riders on the books and not give them rides maybe the guest system needs a re look instead of matching averages then slightly reduce the average for a incoming guest and only allow a guest for the same rider for a set amount of time so if a rider is out longer than a few meetings its in the clubs interests to sign a rider to replace the injured rider

whilst i do agree to a point theres always the refs who puul hts back when someone in crowd waves a program not all re runs should be pulled back

to be honest a few clubs have found out this past season fans have had enough of the clubs treating them with no respect at all

and he did 1 thing holder with held his services muliply times unpunished ????

ive just read the statement and even though im led to believe ged rathbone has done some things that i dont regard as fair and in the fair play of the sport im happy that it looks like hes not going to be punished any more and at least 1 other will be at least getting a slap on the wrist but i still cant see how holder has got away with it all he is just as guilty as ged if not more

riders managers promotors refs track staff who cares what position they hold they should all know and follow the same rule book the problem in speedway is rules are not always written so all can understand them

there's others aswell never mind holder sitting pritty while ged gets all the sanctions

right oh just like all riders missing meetings were treated the same in 2017

i certanly wouldnt put money on knowing anything pre season in speedway

i neversaid he was top of his game i said you would think thats what people would be shouting for most people judge speedway riders from past results not current form id say about 70% or more speeday fans wouldnt recognise a improving rider if they watched them 3 times a week compared to 1 thats been on top and on there way down
