Lets hope its not like Bullseye "Look at what you coulda won" and he is left with just BFH

Fair enough - arent we all It not often I go into rant mode but this is one such time!

But Chris ticked the 'Nice' box

Because outside of a small number of Italian tracks he has shown no kind of form at all He has had chances in Britain before and failed badly Well turned out and by all means a fantastic person but simply not goid enough Employing low rate foreign riders in the Championship whilst improving British youngest have no place is madness for the sport

A local postman said he saw this at the sirting office

Shame on Birmingham choosing Paco over Danyom

He was indeed I was a little unsure when we signed him but he had a great attitude and produced generally solid scores plus had a couple of superb meetings An outside chance to be a Witch again but depends on if his average allows

Would be very surprised (and many would be just as disappointed) if Tungate returns especially if at No1

With 4 signings made but not announced and it being the top end left to confirm Im going for this guess 1 2 3 Danny 4 Wells 5 Lawson 6 Cam 7 Options at 1 for 'Eurostar' ???? Options at 2 ???? Options at 7 ???? Fill in the blanks.....

I hope Danyon gets sorted out and has an injury free year If he ends up on the sidelines then there really is something wrong with the structure of British Speedway

With Rory at Wolves this may well mean one of Thorsell or Wells is available - dont think they can fit in both

I would hope the new euro rider would be a heat leader rather than a reserve If not I share your concern!

I think the 1-7 finally announced may have a big bearing on the answer to your question Initially I was very much for it but currently having a bit of a wobble. Very much enjoyed the championship so I will be very disappointed if the team isnt one to reassure me

Is the identity of the new owner known?

Unfortunately I think you are right re Vaculik Jason but we can but hope that he or someone like him fancies it

Im sure someone else will have If not you will have a couple of hours and £20+ a week extra to work with

Now that would be a great signing

Agree totally about the differences and wasnt really suggesting a Hearn type figure could run speedway It was more the reference to player control causing issues and a more centrally controlled set up being able to regenerate the sport

Irrelevant If a rider can buy their own registration from the BSPA then why shouldnt a new rider retain their own registration from the outset

Which if correct makes a new rider (or any other rider for that matter) not being allowed to illegal surely......

How did his 3rd division Polish results compare with any other riders in that league currently also riding in Britain? Surely that is the obvious basis for his assessment with a minimum of 4

No as per my edit which I hadnt finished before AOs reply

I agree AO Would only work if they all did it - a few on their own would simply be frozen out

I believe it was previously possible but the loophole closed when it was seen that it would be very advantageous to riders and effectively end the 'asset' system which underpins the promoters position Edit An perfect up to date example is Drew Kemp. I understand he ideally only wanted to sign a 3 month contract to ride for Ipswich at the end of 2018 but it was ruled he had to sign his registration over to a club or not be alliwed to ride

I would quedtion that as my understanding is that a rider cannot hold their own registration and that it must be in the control of a registered promoter
