  1. You have to think of the benefits. With his MBE he can see the whole track. MBE = Massive Big Eyes
  2. I really don't think the rider connections will matter as long as they are called Coventry & have a Bee on their race jackets. Most supporters that have lost their club will for the most part be happy to support their club in any form. The Cradley team that was so great in the NL for many years had a massive following no matter where the had their home meetings. Other clubs have formed to become nomadic just to keep the name alive & the race jacket on track.
  3. All that is easily fixed. The cost of doing it is a bigger issue. There's a long time from now until the tapes go up. try to look at things with a more can do attitude not for reasons not to do it.
  4. I'd have to pick Harris & Nicholls as a top 2 then the Thompson Twins as they were mascots there, for the lower order I think they will come from the Chargers line up. Then as Manager Rosco!!! or if the budget allows Greg Hancock or Hans Nielsen who each rode for both teams.
  5. Over the years many Poles have moved to the UK through the EC agreement & some that have made the UK their home have stayed on after Brexit. With Speedway being such a massive sport in their homeland it was inevitable that there would be some that have that interest & after becoming Citizens of the UK will be eligable for a UK passport 7 inturn to compete in NDL.
  6. For me it doe's not matter if teams are completed with guests at this level so long as those doing the racing are getting track time & enjoying their racing. There are not enough clubs that offer any form of second half racing. Weather the public choose to stay behind after the main meeting or not is not important. When we were young & looking to be the next World Champion to travel to Milton Keynes Weymouth Reading Iwade or Eastbourne on a weekend just to get as many laps in as we could or until we ran out of fuel was what we did & never received a penny for it. The NJL is doing a fantastic job giving all these riders a chance on a race night & maybe one day one of them might be the next 6 time world Champion, everyone has to start somewhere!!!
  7. So Sorry for this oversight. I can tell your deeply offfended. I trust when you get your teddy back in the cot you will calm down a bit.
  8. I don't disagree with Mulford returning to the NDL. He has tried to race at the higher levels & it has not worked for him. At this stage of his DEVELOPMENT a stint in the lowest league will help his confidence by winning races & maybe in the future he might move back into the CL at some stage. On the Lambert issue thats a big NO had he been retired for a season or two then maybe but he has had a career with more clubs than Tiger Woods ridden in British Finals even given a testimonial for his services how KL have got this past the SCB/BSPL is beyond me if he hasn't developed by now I can't see it happening ever. Maybe Buster should try a little bit harder & we could see Simon Lambert lift the British Championship........U21
  9. Go on Ebay & look up speedway badges
  10. Whilst I can't argue over time & distance you have provided. I will say that getting the fans of those clubs to travel is another task entirely. I have attended Oxford since their comeback & With Coventry, Swindon Lakeside, Rye House, Reading, Bristol, Newport & Somerset all within a sensible travel time few fans from these clubs are seen at Oxford.
  11. I wonder what you would do if an ex con turned up to your house as a labourer to a skilled worker.
  12. I think it's always a good idea to race at the lowest level you possibly can. It would be easy to say riders must move up as quickly as possible to improve but riders need confidence & must learn how to win races as well as having the weight of being relied upon to produce a match winning score. We have all seen riders leave the lowest league behind & move up to a higher league where it's not expected for them to score more than their minimal average & that there is no pressure on them. Then they get dropped & become outcast with no racing at all. Jody Scott has made a very good decision & I'm sure Redcar will see him improve swiftly.
  13. The old saying "If you can't do the time don't do the crime" will ring loud However he has & he did & he's far from the first to serve time in one of their Majesty long stay hotels. His offence was nothing to do with his past speedway life & should not cause issue with his future within speedway. Other riders have commited drug or alcohol offences whilst racing & have returned to the sport with little fuss. They were given their second chance so why not Jason Garrity
  14. I think Dan Thompson will do well enough at number 1. He has nothing to loose & he can gate. There maybe many others with more experience but i'm sure he is a match for anyone around his own circuit & has no fear away from home.
