Thanks for a reply at last. The reason for being particular about league meetings is since you started this crusade last year there are many on here who genuinely believe Brady picks and chooses his meetings. I couldn’t understand why, on a subject you know well, you weren’t putting them straight. Why keep quiet? The reason is you don’t want the full facts discussed as you have an agenda. 

A fit Brady has ridden in one championship qualifier whilst subsequently missing a Belle Vue fixture. There was a Polish meeting that due to his injury he did not complete and missed a later Aces meeting. For Brady’s other injuries  he has not ridden elsewhere then missed the UK then ridden elsewhere. Fans in this country seem to think injured riders should return to the track when fit, in the UK first which is ridiculous as we can go three weeks without a fixture. 

Now we come to the individual world championship meeting. This is the hardest to grasp for me. During the fifty odd years I’ve followed the sport I first came across a rider chasing championship glory whilst injured in 1977 when PC rode in Sweden with a leg full of stitches. The media, the fans and other riders only had glowing tributes to pay him for his bravery. The fact he didn’t turn out for Belle Vue despite being “well enough” to come second wasn’t even a talking point. This was the case with Kenny Carters British Final triumph with a broken leg and all the others who have ridden at championship level over the decades whilst injured and missing domestic league meetings. They can only let themselves down when taking the risk to ride but should they chance it in a team meeting then it’s not just them who may suffer. 

Anyone who has anything but admiration for riders in this situation, I’m sorry to say, is a disgusting speedway fan and a disgraceful human being. 

We’ll part ways now, so you can troll without rebuke. I would ask though that when it concerns injured riders, please tone it down a bit if not stop completely. 

I do have an agenda and that agenda is British Speedway, if riders want to come from abroad and live here and build a career, great! They shouldn't then be picking and choosing the meetings they ride in at the expense of British Speedway. Speedway is on a knife edge in this country at the moment, we're not in the Peter Collins/Kenny Carter era when punters would turn up pretty much regardless of who was or wasn't riding, in fact you maybe able to point to the personal antics of riders through the years as one of the main diminishing factors in British Speedway and it continues to this day... and it should be stopped. I really couldn't care what riders do elsewhere, I follow British Speedway, I follow Leicester Lions and that is where I spend my money following this club home and away and I expect when I hand my £23 over at the turnstile to see the rider who I watched only 5 days earlier lift a 2nd place trophy in the SGP, completing all of his rides after his off. I don't expect him to be missing and then turning up abroad the very next night and reeling off a 12 point maximum and then only dropping 3 points at the very highest level the next night.

I'm not going to rake up what happened last year, that's been done to death... but he did effectively receive an ultimatum from the SCB... who have been strangely quiet on most issues this year.

If you finish your full rides in one meeting unless you sustain a non-Speedway related injury then you should be expected to be competing in your next scheduled meeting.

It's a real shame that you should choose to sign off your comments with insults, I thought you were better than that, "a disgusting speedway fan and a disgraceful human being" and a troll wow! I actually felt a bit sorry for you when a section of Ippo fans were giving you abuse earlier in the year, I'm inclined to agree with them now.

I hope you enjoy your world travels following Brady Kurtz when British Speedway has failed.

It mystifies me that fans on here can post endlessly in the name of British Speedway about Brady when he has done no wrong yet are happy for their local club to put on regular gate’n’go speedway that has a far greater negative impact on the sport and they say nothing.

A rider gets injured. 

Medical professionals assess the injury and issue a sick note. 

The rider misses a league meeting or meetings in all countries. 

The rider makes a comeback and does well. 

Happening throughout speedways modern era but never a problem until keyboard warriors sense an opportunity to have some “fun”.

Whatever floats your boat guys.
