  1. If something like that was to happen my prefered option would be four rider teams, with only one rider allowed to be over 23 and all have to be UK nationals. Lets focus this opportunity on developing home grown tallent.
  2. I dont think anyone said it was. My comment was in response to his antics on the startline putting 30 mins on a meeting. But weak start marshals can cause meeting to run longer than they should.
  3. Based on dealing with him as an away rider for 11 season and a home rider this season I have never found Lawson to be a rider that arses around at the start. Maybe its a weak start marshal that is the problem.
  4. 2500 for Stox for an F1 meeting, if you include the world final then the average increases to 3700. Non F1 events average 1500 according the the chap under cross examination.
  5. Next person who is a Planning Consultant is doing a much better job. Trying to hold BE to account over unanswered questions and starting to unpick the self inflicted damage from yesterday.
  6. They are not allowed to ride in Sweden at the moment.
  7. Sky didnt want to pay for speedway due to the declining viewing figures. The only other broadcaster intereted picked up the rights. The positive those in charge did was keep a broadcast TV deal going. And whatever you think about the quality of their product they are doing their best to promote the sport to other motorcycle sport fans so its not all doom and gloom.
  8. Well it is the British Speedway Forum....
  9. But just make sure you get back in time for our home meeting.
  10. But wonderful to watch around the Pidcock Motorcycles arena.
  11. Err I think Covid had something to do with the league win not being mentioned.
  12. You misundestand the point. I am aware they dont need brakes. It's not selling what is not needed. It's turning a feature into a benefit, into "you appeal", which is stage one selling theory.
  13. And big sponsors will not come without big crowds. Now if the sport tried to rebrand as the original extreme sport it would maybe start to appeal more to younger people. One issue is that Speedway bikes are not the same as road machines so lets positively promote this - I wonder what percentage of the general public know that a speedway bike does not have brakes?
  14. And who pays the freight of moving machines between Swe & UK?
  15. And I have tried a number of jewwllers as sponsors of timer without success as of yet
  16. I have never said I dont want a clock. I would welcome it. However, as I have previously posted it needs to be controlled by the ref. I have worked with them at other tracks and it makes life easier as did the second line on the startline that we had a few seasons ago where the rider had to put their front wheel spindal directly above it.
  17. Two seasons ago I remember watch NKI get excluded for 2 mins in the Swedish at his home track that has a countdown clock. The stopwatch on my wrist is for my benefit so I am fair to all riders, A riders knows when they are short on time as they are told by the Start Marshal at Leicester. NKI choose to ignore this and the following instructions including the ref flashing the green light twice. The only person who deprved the paying public of the oppositons main man was the rider.
