Not easy to answer is it deano , as many will say there's lots of uk riders wanting a team place , on the other hand the pole will most probably have an ancestor that qualifies him to be included. Thats the way speedway is run here. Equal opportunities etc.
Business men now, seperate ventures and making good money apparently. They both achieved enough in speedway and wouldn't of benefited from carrying on , so have made mature decisions imo.
It's looking more positive that this could actually happen and speedway/ stocks return to brandon , well done to all involved that have kept the faith.
I get what you're saying, all I meant was that if a person knows their not guilty within themselves then I for one wouldn't pay anyone anything as that just makes it look dodgy. I guess the money went to their defense team etc.
Nothing compared to the crimes of James Purchase and Jerran Hart in more recent years relating to speedway riders, they both carried on after being at her majesty's pleasure without much objection from anyone.
