Kyle is fit, just not race fit. Crap fixture list. Thought gavan would've jumped on this by now.

Doubt you'll get Paul, probably replacing Kyle at Poole.

clueless again tremor, the POINT is what is the point of having a squad if you are going to use r/r -
Swedish Elitserien 2017 Round 5
KN1 replied to Ghostwalker's topic in International World of Speedway
People criticise the guest system in UK (which can get crazy at times) and call for squads Poland and Sweden have squads and still use r/r, imo that's worse. -
yeh looks nice like that, but then postcards make a lot of towns look nice, the truth is whats under the surface, in this case slop with shale from a pile that had also been rained on put on top. maybe if the track hadn't been watered so heavily before the meeting the work may have had a chance.

Presenters And Announcers
KN1 replied to LondonSpeedwayFan71's topic in Speedway News and Discussions
Overzealous and unesacary rules and regulations don't allow for characters nowadays I'm afraid, even telling a ref to go to specsavers on the phone can get you fined. -
Just another pole who can't race British tracks and it's often same with our boys over there.

Poole V Swindon Ela 1/5/17 6pm

28 days not up until weds. -
Just to say absolutely gutted for Danyon last night. Myself and kyle have been impressed totally by the lad and was telling poole fans about him pre meeting, Kyle has been saying it's the best team spirit he's known, another cruel blow. All the best Danyon.

15 years ago maybe, stagnated even lowered by some clubs, but you do get the odd club in each league that pay over the top generally they as a club suffer in the end as has been witnessed in recent years. Generally nowadays it's just the reserves on low points money who rightly get say a 3 point guarantee after that not many maybe the odd no 1.

Kerr left revolution halfway through last season and went back to gm . As has been said before but people are not listening, there is no problem with gtr , it's the bspa proposal to make it compulsory with 1/2 people selected to service, who's to say we won't be in one but it needs to be down to choice and to service where we want.
-
This is the case, if both teams (all 14 riders) are in agreement and there is 14 tyres the same type available then the old Red marked ones can be used. Have been told that mitas cannot start supplying the older tyre fully till June though due to production so some tracks only have the new type available.
-
agree , but I was slated on fb, for suggesting you would need 10k to buy 2 GTRs, as they are supposedly that good you would only need 1, and its a modern day unnecssary requirement by riders to have 2 bikes..
-
thanks for your thoughts to my son, scenario 1 has definitely happened.

they are talking next year, 2018. their is a vested interest by a few going on which is why such a spin is being put on it. your not getting it, a single compulsory engine will do nothing for speedway whatsoever. racing will be worse as riders who do not get on with the GTR will suffer where as at the moment they can try a cam / compression etc that suits them. like ive said before many riders are looking at quitting if its brought in, or being asking for higher wage /signing on fee due to the outlay for new GTRs and having no market to sale current GMs ,most riders do not buy new engines each year, in fact a lot of engines you see each week are relatively old in motor racing terms but are serviced and updated each year. one or two selected engine repairers (old pals act no doubt), putting other good honest engine builders around the country out of work (who do not charge a fortune) and that is not a dig at the big boy tuners as they also do a service and like any trade if people want to go to them and pay their prices that's their prerogative and in all fairness they have invested more so in equipment for their businesses to accommadate that. at the moment the bspa price is £4800 (discounted) so not sure what actual price will be, my son can buy a ported GM kit from vega for I believe £2350 + vat, what he saves on the GTR covers his servicing costs in a season. scenario 1, problem with GM engine at Poole, weds night, racing at Swindon thurs night as it stands can get fixed in time either by himself or say ricky Neale (poole), local engine builder, racing at Swindon. Problem with GTR sealed unit has to be fixed by say trevor hedge (Norwich). logistically probably not racing at Swindon. and is the same for all riders around the country in having someone to go to, that choice / option will be taken away, and how will you as fans feel if a rider cannot turn up because he has no engine. scenario 2, rider calls selected repairer says I think GTR needs a service, no its only done 90 races its ok , goes bang, who is liable, at the moment rider thinks engine needs service, gets it done. scenario 3, playoff final week coming up all 14 riders call selected repairer to get engines checked/serviced (just in case, peace of mind) selected repairer " I haven't got time to service 14 engines". like ive said, I have no problem with marcel and his engine the problem is the proposed compulsory use of it, which I see has no benefit to british or world speedway.

clubs should be paying what they can afford and the majority do, riders don't get what they ask for in the majority, and the majority of riders accept what is offered, they know the score within the sport. as have said before we have no problem with Gerhard or his engine, but it should not be made compulsory in the uk or anywhere else, the amount of riders already talking about jacking in if this comes about is growing, as the costs involved in buying these engines are too great especially as there will be no market to sell your GM's / Jawas,(same as buying a new car you sell the old toput towards the new one).
-
Freddie went back to gerhardengines after each GPS to be set up and checked for the next. This will not be allowed in UK if they get their way. Also the way the bspa have pr'd it was if Freddie used the same engine everywhere. 😂
-
Probably as in Douglas at sunny the chairman and his vice need someone them. Have they bought them I wonder?
-
those clubs bond money would of been part of that money, Plymouth boys were told they had to wait for the half they were getting of what they were owed until the new promotion had paid their bond, hows that work. imo the money would be better spent on promoting the sport nationally, possibly a deal for shale/airfences etc with a supply company to be equally divided throughout the leagues etc
-
As was admitted in the SS they used 360k of bspa money to fund a deal with gtr with a view to making them compulsory 😠. Whilst trying to shaft BV riders over pay. and Plymouth for definite and possibly Leicester riders getting half of what was owed to them.😠
-
what a load of crappie. Plenty of passing at Poole regularly just your usual blinkered view.

Fair play, "react" that is the best way to put it 👍
