Just my opinion. All divisions have teams that have a win at all costs mentality. The NL less so these days. it’s not just the top flight that do it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having said that, I hope he keeps Laguta. If you want an example, look at Eastbourne where the Arlington. Stadium is now just for cars with the bikes banished. Ask an Eastbourne fan if they would prefer ‘on budget’ speedway or no speedway. I have absolutely no problem with budget speedway but teams need to be competitive, if he isn’t willing to run teams up to the required level in the Premier League then run them in the Championship where the costs are a lot lower Teams need to be at the very least competitive, that way you ensure good support and confidence levels ensuring everyone, riders, supporters and management remain positive. Getting stuffed everywhere just drives supporters away like it has at Lynn, tomorrows attendance will be interesting as it’s on TV so the usual travelling supporters will be able to watch it on Eurosport. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StarBoy Posted June 25, 2023 Report Share Posted June 25, 2023 Two different publications from the respective teams. Lynn's preview has Laguta in with Harris on standby as a guest, if required. Wolves preview already has Harris in the lineup. Is it fair to say that Laguta is unlikely to be at Wolves tomorrow? However, he does appear to be riding for Wroclaw this afternoon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gasser90 Posted June 25, 2023 Report Share Posted June 25, 2023 Laguta is absolutely fine judging by his score in Poland, be interesting to see if he does turn up. And if not what the reason is for it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KL and speedway fans certainly deserve better than this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if not what the reason is for it It's well-established now, that a medical certificate can be issued by a Doctor for injuries and conditions that are not suited to "technical British tracks" whilst still allowing a rider to compete on Polish tracks! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easy answer: BSPL pay rates must be way below what they earn in league racing. Has long been case for rider championships Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
