No, it would mean he'd be able to ride here without ruining his club financially. If he wants to ride in th UK on a Monday and Thursday, without a TV deal, he needs to accept a pay cut, it really is that simple.

Didn't you realise he could ride in one big league and do a Friday night in Scunthorpe and Saturday in Berwick, at the same time as being in the Latvian G.P., just by asking for less money!

There are only 10 gp's next season , 2 of which are at belle vue, leaving only another 8 gp Saturdays throughout the whole season, surely fixture planners could , let's say, plan the fixture list accordingly? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, but add in the other GP riders, and all the others with weekend continental commitments, and it gets a bit messy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you had the chance to get Bewley, Kurtz, Fricke, Doyle and Jack Holder to your track for the first time in Donkeys/Ever, you would probably work "very hard" on ensuring the fixture list delivered them, wouldn't you? Maybe, on occasions, Friday night tracks becoming Saturday night tracks, and vice versa, to ensure they could appear at your track...

It wasn't the case a few tears ago when Mr Godfrey was not happy at the amount of Friday nite tracks, meaning scunny struggling to get guest riders, and causing all sorts of issues trying to get meetings rearranged Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dontforgetthefueltapsbruv Posted 9 hours ago Report Share Posted 9 hours ago Anybody thinking the GP and other top riders will sign up to ride Fridays and Saturdays for the peanuts one big league would pay is totally deluded Never fear though you still have the superhero Simon Lambert to hold the fort Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An amazing situation, but, in keeping with so much that went before, and gone on since... The last thing you need is any track finding its "sweet spot", best night to ride on isn't it?

They won’t get a visa to enter the country in the first place unless they have a British team, therefore they will have to Poland or Sweden where they might struggle with their families for English language schools, it’s really that simple, nobody’s saying that they will not ride in Poland but lots of the Australian lads have families too consider Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
