  1. Said he needed a change. Some fans saw that as needing a change from speedway, he meant a change of team. Tbh, he wasn't worth keeping and Leicester were better off without him. He did them a favour leaving.
  2. But I thought all patriality did was get you a British passport. It's not a speedway "thing" but a legal thing. You can get a British passport if you have patriality and you can only ride NL if you have a British passport (apart from the couple of seasons they allowed Commonwealth rider in). So Cameron Heeps can ride NL because he has a passport with he was eligible due to partiality. Or have I got this completely wrong?
  3. Your post makes no sense. You call him Judas but how did he betray Leicester? It's not as if his form picked up in Glasgow. And if he was, "exposed last year as not upto the grade" then he's not a Judas. Behind good enough doesn't make you a Judas. Richard like many other riders before him had a poor season, it happens, sometimes to very good riders. Taking a year out and staying in Australia in 2012 is an elaborate ploy to hide his piss taking of Leicester as to most of us it looks like the actions of someone home sick, not you though. If anyone took the piss last year it was your management for putting out the team everyone said was rubbishe and so it proved.
  4. Whats the difference? For patriality you need a passport so I'm confused.
  5. It's 2 changes from being a pretty decent team. They need a couple of second strings.
  6. 6.17 is closer to 6 than 6.5 but I Fo accept it was a nasty injury, I'm not sure it was enough to take a point off his average. Funny rider Morten, I used to think he had something about him, I've seen him pass Crump, Andersen and Bjarne while they were all at their best but him seen him passed by PL second strings in the same meeting. It just makes me think he'll always struggle to get any more than 6. I remember being laughed at 12 months ago for suggesting he would struggle to get 7.
  7. Risager will never improve. Come over at 16 and got a 4.8 average in the 1-5 of a poor team, following year got 5.6 in a good team flitting betters resevere and the team proper and he's basically do the same every season since. He has good spells and looks like he's going to make it then has a poor spell and looks like a NL rider. Morten will average 6 in 2012. He may even have spell in reserve with that kind of average in this team. I've also never got Doolan, I'm sure his few years as a 9+ rider were the exception, he's an 8ish rider, there may be a little improvement. It's the 2 reserved that'll do all the improving.
  8. He averaged 6.8 with bonus points in 2011 and in the last month was averaging 8.5. While that's not the near 9 he was getting for Brum it's damn close. Just a shame hell never get the 2-3 years he's lost back even if he has fought his way back to that level. I'm hopefull he's still got it in him to be a very good EL rider, he's clearly got the balls and determination and I think that can get you a long way in speedway where the difference between winning and losing is minute, despite how it may actually look on track at times.
  9. like Barker and Gjedde in 2010 for 2011? You no longer need a PL average the season before.
  10. Unless he's seriously improved he'll do well to hit 5. I'll go with a little over 4.
  11. Actually I think that just makes sense. It's how Leicester was built and a lot of clubs have people who turn up to do this. I remember a group of offered to do this at Newport years back for Tim Stone and got asked what was in it for us and the offer was turned down!
  12. Ricky wil be fine, he can ride all tracks well, he's just a bit up and down but a month of riding the SBA and working out it's quirks he'll be just fine there. He's a decent rider and decent riders work out any home track quick enough.
  13. And the Welsh authorities stump up the cash for the British GP but I see no Welshman in the meeting. But it's not relevant to this arguement, the suggestion was riders compete in a GP for themselves not a country, that being the case why does someones Nationality matter? Thing is, we all know thats rubbish, riders do compete for the Nation they're representing, wether they care or not (and in most cases I doubt they care at all)
  14. So why not have an Australian as the wildcard then?
  15. Jason Bunyan become a Belgian in 2001 to allow him to do the GP qualifiers. Seems he'll sell himself out where ever he has to so he can ride World Championship speedway.
  16. In the press release about Jasons wildcard he says he will have raced meetings in Europe proior to the GP. So he'll be coming back to go back over,
  17. And with the Welsh Asembly pumping in God only knows how much every year, surely they have as much right to a say as the New Zealand government. As a Welsh tax payer I demand that a Welshman rides in the GP at Cardiff. You know what, I think it should be called the Welsh GP too. Bunyan will be back in the UK for the start of the domestic season.
  18. So its the NZ governments demands. How much do the Welsh government pump into the Cardiff GP? Time to demand a Welsh rider I think. Congrats James White-Williams on your wildcard! In fact, I've ridden a speedway bike, I live less than a mile from the stadium how about I get te wild card for Cardiff? After all, the amount of meetings I've been to in my 27 years I've pumped a lot of money into British Speedway too. There probably only 2 or 3 Welsh riders better than me anyway.
  19. Pretty close. Certainly well within walking distance.
  20. Why if he's making so much money is he selling half the club then? :/ makes no sense to me.
  21. £100,000 for what? A fence, a bus and Nicki Glanz? In Dragons Den style, I'm out!
