Let’s get this rider signed up now, Mr Allitt & Brady.

Yes, it really is that easy

Chris Louis is obviously a lot more accommodating than Buster is

Nicholls is probably the most successful self-made businessman in Suffolk, and a life-long Witches fan.

For me as soon as Pickering got injured Lynn should have signed Craig Cook on a 28 day contract, then when Josh was for again, they'd have 7 riders for 6 places, drop the weakest & that's your new team?

Someone who has averaged 2.40 away from home needs to go, even if he's ok at home. He's letting his team mates down with his attitude, as well as the fans.. No one wants a rider who gives up / can't be bothered. We have had plenty of them in the past.

I've not seen KK so can't comment on his attitude when racing & 2.40 away from home is awful for a rider of his ability, however it's home matches that pay the bills, so if he's gonna help you win at home, keep him & hope he improves away.

Have to disagree on that one..

I keep reading they don’t want to spend X to set up over here but surely they’d be making money in one way or another?

Indeed.  Jeremy Doncaster said in an interview recently that he only ever had three speedway bikes in total at any one time but successfully rode in GB, Poland and Italy/Germany without issue.  Of course they'll say they need this and that in the hope it is funded for them.

I'm surprised that he is shutting off into corners I have to admit. Wouldn't have been surprised by inconsistency or giving up at the back, but not giving 100% when there are riders around him very much has. 

 

 

I’m not at all. Whenever I’ve seen him racing abroad (and his last terrible stint in the GP’s) he was doing it loads when in traffic.

certainly not a new phenomenon from what I’ve seen from him.

Polish media reporting today that there is a chance Josh will be back riding for Gniezno this weekend.

I think Guy got involved with Lynn the same time as Holder rode for us (probably helped finance the deal as they are friends). As soon as the relationship broke down between Holder and the club, I'm guessing that was the end of that.

My thoughts are 

The issue has nothing to do with getting rider's, it's cash. Nobody is interested in riding for the Scrimping Stars or the Peanut Panthers. 

Not sure Sheffield, Ipswich or Belle Vue will suffer the same problems if injuries or poor performances arise. 

There has to be 4 - 5 points Danes, Swedes or Germans out there to take a punt on needing rides. The other issue is, clearly Allitt's phone only has about 14 rider's numbers in it, plus Holder & Batchelor's deleted.

Don’t forget Simon Lambert is on speed dial on Alitt phone to be ready to ride for either club . 
But totally agree with all you posted .

C Holder and Batchelor's numbers are deleted for good reason.

He most probably did. However, it's not like Alex Brady hasn't put in a sizeable investment into the club and I'm sure these MacInnes boys have thrown some money into the coffers too. It's just that the money has been directed in the wrong place. If this is the standard we now have to become accustomed too, then the Premiership isn't the league for us. 

I have said this many many times that all I want to see is a competitive team, no one likes to see their team get buried every week, if promoters are not able or willing to pay to ensure a team is competitive then the simple answer is to run in a league you can afford.

Spot on. 

Lynn and Boro fans are fed up with propping the Premiership up, tine to get out and be competitive.

They can use Bomber every other week..

Bomber's other commitments to everyone else not with standing obviously.. 

The Polish 2nd tier is full of riders that could be suitable..

With the beauty being you only need to sign them, they turn up once, and then have guests for the rest of the season due to all the Polish fixture clashes that UK Speedway have allowed to take place..
