I'm surprised Mike Ferreira has not been mentioned in this thread :/

Or Maksym Drabik (work permit not needed)

Maybe, but in years gone by, he would have ignored any doctor who told him to walk away from his beloved speedway!!

I agree, it looks like even he is giving up on the sport :/

So it's been announced that Carl Wilkinson has been released and will be replaced by Sunday 30th July. Any idea who his replacement may be?

You could.....all you had to do was spell it correctly.

Isn't Laguta suspended?

I don't think the rules allow that.

I rest my case.

How can you say that with any confidence....he may well be another Adam Skornicki and rarely let his British team down. Just because some Poles don't see Britain as a priority, it doesn't mean Pawel will be the same.

Probably the best possible signing that Leicester could have made.......fair play to them!!

Lakeside I believe.

Thanks.

What story? Where have you seen this?

And interestingly, he has recently been hinting that he may be moving away from the sport in the next couple of years

Did you? It wasn't featured in this weeks edition, and from my point of view, is sadly missed.

Using your own words......."exciting rider". Surely that has the knock on benefit of potentially raising attendance levels? If it does, there is your benefit for UK speedway! Fair enough, only time will tell.

The gain is if and when he does sign a contract to ride for another British team, Wolverhampton can negotiate a loan fee for him.

It's not a silly analogy at all all........ask yourself why football is a multi-billion pound industry and domestic speedway in Britain is dying.

No it's not......it makes a mockery of the sport and nobody takes it seriously. Can you imagine Sergio Aguero playing for Manchester City at the weekend and Huddersfield Town in midweek? It would be farcical, and that is what speedway is making itself with this crazy rule.........if you don't believe me.......look around you at the open spaces on the terraces next time you go to a meeting.

Thank you, I look forward to the answer.

Rubbish........that is EXACTLY what will/is killing domestic speedway. Do you honestly think that ANYONE can take a sport seriously when that is allowed to happen? That's their choice........if they continue to 'cop a deaffen' they will go out of business within two years (in my opinion).

That is certainly a possibility, but a chance worth taking in my opinion.

I disagree........unless the BSPA stop riders riding for more than one team in the UK, the sport will die (domestically) within two years. The situation British Speedway currently finds itself in is farcical.

It was reported on this forum a week or so ago that Pawel Przedpelski is seeking a ride in the UK. Has anyone any updated information on this, or any rumours on who he may be signing for? In my opinion Pawel would be a brilliant signing for any SGB-P team, and after the requisite number of meetings he would become an 'asset' of any British team.......surely this is too good a chance to miss?
