cant say ive seen anything different from the last few years to be honest but i do agree some just follow others on different threads and question every thing that certain ones say
-
just a little over reaction i think
-
a good captin can make a difference but only if the rest of the team are willing if the captin isnt self centered and can get all the others working together then thats his job done but so many only want the track preped for them and wont or can not help the ones who are struggling
-
not a bad reason but is he respected enough
-
i agree but which way some are talking they want the ones who arnt ready pushed up too soon which will result in them loosing confidence and not making enough money to continue in the sport untill they are good enough yes the odd 1 who is ready fails to get the step up they need to improve but the thing that worries me is some get the chance too soon and it has the opposite effect it will always be the same its not really got anything to do with foriegn riders coming in on a 4 or 5 or foreign riders being given british passports and coming in on the same as brits its about riders who ride in the lower league not looking like there ready and a unknow foriegn rider is given the chance and team place ahead of them insteed its a gamble that some or most teams are willing to make
-
theres obviously lots of people that havnt been paid what they were expecting now just who and how much we can only speculate through the rumours but 1 thing for sure is there has been money thats went into the pot but it looks like not many people actually can trace where this money has gone is it still there has it been sidelined or has it been spent on genuine bills thats the issue has it just been a financial disastor or is there coruption involved
-
there are a few riders in nl yes but are they ready/good enough for higher leagues some can hold there own against the lower end riders yes but most are not ready
-
and if the likes of craig cook and a few others had polish passports do you think they would get a ride instead of a upcoming pole i think not
-
similar to hull a few years back aswell they built a side the won the league resulting in the owners not being able to pay the bills and stop trading as such the assetts reverted back to the bspa which were then offered to the highest bidder as a job lot im sure the bids were in sealed envelopes and sheffield were the highest bidder ahead of tony mole who was at workington at the time speedway is a funny old game you have to put up a bond or use your assetts as that bond if things like this happen where bills arnt paid then the bspa can claim that bond or assetts to use to pay the bills at least thats how it was explained to me from someone involved years ago
-
sorry jenga you havnt been good enough this year so im told like me your getting sod all
-
no but they were born in the same country wernt they holding a british passport dosnt make someone british just what is needed to be classed as british ? so as most of the edinburgh fans are happy hes british because he holds a british passport now what happens if he decides to go back to australia does he need to aply for a visa? nothing against the lad or the team as such but things just need to be made the same for all teams and riders i believe he lives here full time and as ive said in previous post that should count for something but just how much is the debate i dont class davey as a rider that is on a false average if he starts down at reserve but many others of a similar standard have had to come in on a 5 or 7 average some made it some were sent packing its not easy and its not fair young riders need a chance but they need a fair chance aswell
-
he didnt gain a avererage last year so should he be classed as a new rider like mason compton and others were last year not sure of full details regarding him qualifying as british but he came over as a aussie so cant see why hes any different to the likes of ty proctor who was made to go home or mason campton who was made wait till he qualified and the others whove been made to stay or go back to australia yes living here full time like rusty harison did without going home should count for something but not the full on 2 pt british rider thingy
-
does davey come in on a proper old average or assessed average ?
-
i dont mind if he does go well on his return to derwent park as i pay my money to be entertained and when on form he can entertain (when he wants to and not dropping his average)
-
mitchell davey does seam to have a following at amerdale always well turned out and decent style but never seams to pull the points in

why not i know its hard if you are looking for work but i know plenty who do work and are worse off than many unemployed people my own son has struggled to find work and i know its hard but its not a reason to get stuff like this cheaper you get the same entertainment as the full price paying people hope you look after ryan blacklock up there a fellow cumbrian and all that -
arnt your assets used as your bond ? if you dont have assets you must place the required amount in a bond so if you sell assets then you need to use that money as the bond so i was led to believe anyway

ryan blacklock did have a pritty good meating as a guest for workington and actually won a race if he is to ride in the prem league as weve known it then im sure there is some improvement in him hes been up and down in the national league so if hes to continue in the sport at whatever level needs to find something and stepping up a league might just be the thing to make him up his game -

wasnt it might be tempted to carry on if he got a decent sponsor to help with costs -
if there world class there worth every penny speedway riders are very brave or stupid men who risk everything for fairly litte gain for most of them footballers risk very little for a lot that much money they dont know what to do with it so most end up addicted to something either drink and or drugs or gambling or prostitues motor bike racers risk it all for the love/thrill of the sport but if he and others havnt been paid then the money hasnt gone to them has it yes they might still be owed it but the question every one is interested in is just where has the money gone as it looks like theres no trace of it going out

i would sat that could be a better option -
good luck with that not been the best prepaired track in recent years
-
not sure what to make of that team yes you have some riders capable of beating anyone on there day but too be honest that line up wouldnt have looked out of place in 2016 prem league
-
very similar thoughts myself
-
we all know what it is in time im sure it will change for any newcomers but alls well so far we know what section our beloved prem league is our league was that good the toffee nosed uper league took the title but will it give them as good entertainment as weve had
