  1. Incorrect. Lyon has been trying to get a suitable guest for the last 4/5 days. Ask him.
  2. It's nothing to do with other clubs not wanting it. The sport can't put it away from the 'National' stadium that cost 6m to build. If that happened someone from the council might finally ask for the first payment towards it.
  3. The Oxford stadium restaurant has a capacity of 250. There were not 950 people outside on Monday night whichever you try and dress it up.
  4. There was around 200-300 people max in that stand on the home straight in a small area. Bearing in mind that their break even will be around 1200, where are the other thousand?
  5. There was no one there. About 30 people standing on those bends.
  6. Wow. As a professional sport it's no longer viable if all of those roles are voluntary now.
  7. Is it a Premiership club as I already stated above we aren't talking about Lydd, Iwade of Linlithgow here? This is a club with riders on 3k guarantees but can't clean a room and everyone making excuses that is ok and it's because they are closing down and there aren't enough volunteers.
  8. Not all of those roles are volunteers. If they are at Brum the gtees to riders should have been lower and money made available to pay some of those positions. A track curator being a volunteer at a Premiership club is a very strange concept....
  9. Not at all. Drop Zagars gtee by 50 quid a meeting and that would pay for a cleaner to clean a few areas. Not rocket science.
  10. Volunteers don't prepare infrastructure for F1 events. You are comparing completely different roles. Marshalls in speedway and F1 yes they are comparable.
  11. Why are they volunteers and not paid? It's a top division professional sport. It's not training at Iwade or Lydd. Were there no volunteers this week to prepare the stadium for an event then? If no volunteers turn up do you have to call meetings off? Not sure these excuses make it acceptable but everyone entitled to their own opinion.
  12. Iwade have never been in the top league. Which Danish top league tracks are 'dog awful'? Instead of people wanting the actual issues addressed that drag the sport further down they have a pop at the person speaking out. Same people moan that riders never speak out etc.
  13. Since it was given away by the BSPL 2 years ago. This year Extraliga 2 started organising Thursday matches to take advantage of it rather than only using that day for rain offs.
  14. Doyle wasn't asked to return money just because he was injured. That's incorrect.
  15. This is much closer to the truth than the original post. So many mythical beliefs in the UK about Polish speedway. Experience of technical tracks definitely improves your skills as a rider but not sure tracks being served up like that one at Brum last night are beneficial to anyone.
  16. An engine that went well around Torun will be exactly what you need to get around Perry Barr...... so simple!
  17. Different play off system in Poland this season. Extra meetings for all teams, up to 20 for some. No one is going to be signing in the UK when their team could get relegated etc
  18. You keep saying this but who are they going to get who hasn't been asked already?
  19. Be ruthless how? There isn't any potential number 1 with the slightest interest in riding in the UK.
  20. Any team that has the world number 2 and 4 in their team is pretty much guaranteed 8 heat wins against anyone in British league racing. Not sure how you expect teams to get close to the home team in number of heat wins in that scenario?
  21. Who are you going to get for these riders? There isn't anyone in Europe who wants to ride in the UK who isn't already there apart from maybe Smektala who is struggling big time in Poland. Why do you think Birmingham have been running RR for liglad and Oxford haven't made any changes?!
  22. The problem was in those earlier heats they were gate 4's which wasn't working at all.
  23. Which top quality riders have chosen UK over Sweden who don't need to ride in the UK for a Visa?
