  1. Well apparently Morris is owed £28000 and Hancock I think was said to be £300 000 it's a joke. Surely common sense says ride in England for two clubs and get paid I have no sympathy for any rider riding for a promise in this day and age when they know the likelihood of getting no money.
  2. With what steady was saying on Thursday about promises been broken and payments not been made then any rider signing for polish clubs deserve what they get.If they not going to pay Greg Hancock then the lesser riders have no chance and the contract that nick I pedersen has is ridiculous .Theres no way he will get paid the amount promised. Promotors would stay clear of riders entering the polish league if they could only use nl riders only.Steadys comments were backed up by Kyle howarths dad so it's about time the English lads realised were their loyalties lie.
  3. Don't think it will be any of those might be an Ipswich rider as they will be rebuilding for the top league.
  4. Yes the limit has changed from 42.5 to 38 but a way to get round it is by letting new riders in on a 4 so Zaine is a 4 but Kasper would be 5.2 as he rode last season but was 1 meeting short of a average I think.
  5. Kyle will be back on 6.95 and Zaine starts on a 4 point average. Kyle will not start at number 1 which should suit him better. Josh g riding in Poland Josh b should be back next season but not for us. We will be guaranteed 20 meetings and admission price not going up.The stadium work should be under way and the plans sound exciting.Start time is in the hands of the stadium,mark bates having a meeting next week .Hopefully start naming team from next week.Last night was a very interesting meeting and very informative .Thanks to mark Peter and steady.
  6. Does Bates get a reduction to his average after year out ?
  7. If it's early afternoon and hot track dries very quickly so then you get a dusty track where as evening meetings hold moisture into track better.nightmare for track preparation .Nearly every Newport meeting the day after Cardiff was really bad for it,one year after it had bounced down all morning it was bone dry after 3 races.
  8. STAARS meeting tonight so hopefully we will learn something on the team front.
  9. I would like us to get Kasper back as he was quite decent away and with lower team averages could be a very useful acquisition ,Connor on a 3 + might be capable of doing some damage at the bottom end as good 3 pointers will be more crucial next season.
  10. One home one away ? Great can't wait. 14 meetings presume stock cars take bank holiday Sunday's ? People always say track prep is difficult for Sunday afternoon meetings. I would expect that's when we will be racing as statement mentions kids getting to bed at a reasonable time.The main thing is we have a good team to follow.lets hope we get that right this time.
  11. Well done comets looks like mr Godfrey did you a favour making you ride most of your fixtures towards the end of the season as it kept you race fit at the right time.Hope weather holds out so the play off final goes ahead
  12. If it's 42.5 we got to get Josh g back with Kyle ,when they in same team Kyle steps up his performance .Zaine is already in and we must go for Kasper then see what points are left.
  13. I would think there's only Lasse that doesnt want to return to be honest !!!!
  14. Depending on points limits league structure etc could we loan him out ? If it's 32 limit Kasper has got to be a definite ! Do Kings Lynn own him ?did he ride sufficient meetings for them ?
  15. If Connor has signed for Leicester and we both in the same league I would presume he will ride for them, that's if the rumour of just two leagues is happening.
  16. Pity Kyle was injured or we could have won !! Oh we'll never mind roll on next season.kasper scoring well again on his first appearance at Redcar.Got to be in our team next season.
  17. If the rumour of 32 is agreed I can see loads of riders not getting a team place as everybody's team average at present is between 38 -44 points,meaning everybody will be after the 5-6 point men.We will have to wait and see but if it gets diluted any more the riders will have to ride semi pro.Will the admission prices reflect a lesser product on track ? I doubt it.Depending which way the decision goes ( 42 36 or 32 ) we've already got Zaine on a 5-20 gamble Todd 5-76 not too Good on several away tracks and 5-20 Kasper who has been a revelation away from home scoring on tracks he's not seen.For me ,I like Todd and if we can get all 3 in fair enough but surely we've got to get Kasper in one way or another.Who actually owns him ? Has he rode enough for kings Lynn to be owned by them or is he a free agent?As our season is now over then we have plenty of time to speculate and talk to some potential signings.
  18. If only we would have had a long dry summer all teams would have been able to get their 10 meetings in. Good job we didn't have 2 home and away !!!!!!!! What a farce.
  19. Totally agree.luckily at Sheffield we've had steadys testimonial ,British semi and CLRC to drag our season out.I find it farcical that tracks struggle to arrange 10 fixtures.Most Thursdays we've had no fixtures have been dry.At least it's not a problem this year for us but it leaves us with a long winter.
  20. Let's hope they see sense for a change and make the right decisions for the sport and not their own clubs.
  21. Well I've just done 58 years and agree with you.like I said that's what I heard Sunday at the championship riders .Its not decided but a possibility depending on the structure of the league.lets hope it's the usual points limit and we don't lose too many teams .
  22. Heard a rumour team average may be 36 !!! If the averages are reduced then admission should come down ? Can't see that happening so that would be another nail in the speedway coffin. Surely they can't water the sport down anymore.
  23. I would like to see either of these teams next year Josh g Zaine Kyle Kasper proctor Broc Dimi Or Josh g Zaine Charles Kasper Kyle Broc Conner if team average is 42-5 I think either might fit.loan Todd and Josh bates out
  24. Kyle must be nailed on for next season on a 7-49 and Josh g 8-50 and I would be well happy if we got Kasper on a 5-20
