No Way ..have you told Dr Watson ?

Would pay good money to see that .

Not slagging off anyone just pointed out why it's has it's name ..but yet after explaining it you come up with the childish and silly so called El jibe again ... why people get so hung up on a name that just explains it the top division in terms of team strength in the uk is most odd ...

It's call the Elite because it's the top division in the Uk nothing more nothing less ...why fans have such a hang up about the name and even more so when most of them come from a league who name makes no sense of all is laughable . To get a name like the Elite you don't have to have the best riders in the world you don't even have to have the best riders in a uk all you need is to have the strongest set of the sides as it's team event .

The Elite league name Would pass with flyingl colours unlike the Premier league name .

Paul Hudson was pretty good at Reading intill they closed down .

Of course i care about British Speedway haveing 4 or 5 Brits who are not very good will mean crowds will go down to nl level and teams will go under ..be a great day for speedway thou 4 people you can't turn a corner being cheer on by 150 fans .

When did I say that Poles have got an advantage over a brit ? ..giving more time for brits to practice is one of the things I was talking about .that is the sort of thing we should be doing rather than giving them charity and the easy life by giving team places they not earned like you want .Yet again not sure want Lambert being based in Germany has to do with him getting team places in the uk I expect people will be biteing his hand off next year for him to ride for them .

Well of course it is the crowds tell you that .

Poole fans want to watch Top riders and willing to pay the money to watch them they don't want to watch sub standard riders even if the admission is ten pounds .This is the point you miss not everyone wants cheaper speedway to watch a lower standard ..the point about sky is a silly as lot of sports would be knackered without the sky money not just speedway .

What young riders are Sweden producing at the moment ? nothing wrong with our leagues we have plenty of league racing to give our boys a chance. No doubt Aussies have great young riders because of how they run there league ..oh I forgot they have not got a league ...it's quite clear why the uk has fell behind it's because we don't get enough riders stated the sport in the first place the problem is at grass roots level and has zero to do with riders getting team places . if you got talent you will find your own way to the top in the uk .

So as I said seeing that 15 heats were already in place the rule was brought into save money as it has done ..the point about saving money by having two more heats is another debate and has nothing to do with subject we are talking about .

You can never gage how many there might have been over the years without it ...to me it's kept speedway alive I know the set of people who I watched it with came back to the sport because they saw it on sky and got the bug back .

Spot on ..Speedway is never going to go down in price no matter if there are 7 brits in the side .

I doubt it ..all it will do it mean less people will know about the sport and even less new fans

Was it introduced when there was 13 or 15 heats ?

OF course it would put the crowds down replaceing good riders with riders who are half a lap behind is hardly going to make people pay £17 ...As I said before there plenty of leagues and ways for Brits to come through without given out hand outs and charity .

I Expect a change that brings in more crowds not less ...that is where speedway has gone wrong never every idea put forward means that there be less crowds and more lost fans to the sport ..

Never got this about sky ..surely the old tac sub rule made the matches close and that had nothing to with sky ....the idea was brought in to replace the old rule because teams were paying to much money to there top riders when they took extra rides .

Should never happen , teams places should be given on merit not charity plus the bigger teams would just paid bigger money to the better brits also what happens when one of these brits get injured ..yet again another idea that put the crowds down and loses more money that it would save .

Not at all as I said there are plenty of leagues in the uk to show that you are good enough to be given a chance in a higher league, is a myth that just by putting young brits who are not good enough in El teams they will get better in most cases it sends them backwards

Sorry ? my point was if you are good enough you will make it ? your point about Sturridge just back up's my point his talent won in the end ...Fergie never put Beckham in the Man ute side intill he was good enough as I said sport is not a charity ... if Kerr is good enough then he will get a chance to race in the el nothing will stop him doing that just as Cook and Worrall have shown .he won't need the sort of charity you want to give out .

No it's not ..been over this time again ..in the uk there of plenty leagues and chances to show your good enough to get a place in the el like Worrall and Cook who have done it on merit rather than giving people charity and brits chances who are not good enough ...just like any sport you pick the best team .. the same applies to football if a brit is good enough he will get a chance why would someone pick a foreign who is not as good .

So the answer to the question is there are no riders who are just as good who cost less ? just riders who cost less

As I said they already have clubs double uppers or not ...so the question is still the same who are these riders without clubs who cost less are just as good ? if Wolves could signed someone who just as good as bobby who would have cost less and rides in the pl they would of . the bottom line there no such rider .
