Is he going to retire because he has no premiership team? 🙃

You've probably joined the rest of us on their ignore list 😂

Both have said they can only make it pay if they double up, Wright ditto.

Cya later Charley. Basically hes saying I love doubling up because Im making plenty of money . 

Such an inspiring thing to say. Imagine being a young rider reading that statement.

And these riders, in the PL, literally don't put a single bum on a seat, they just make the numbers up, which is no bad thing, but there's a long queue of riders behind them that would happily take their place... the tail is well and truly wagging the dog.

In a recent Speedway Star,, Mark Lemon said how he didn't want to be telling riders they had to take a pay cut as he understood their challenges..

He is looking at it the wrong way, (like so many ex riders who become promoters do, as they are far too close to the riders)..

He should actually be telling them...

"You increase the crowds by 500 and you will get more money"...

As currently, their presence clearly doesn't engage enough fans to attend...

But how can a rider put 500 extra bums on seats?

If Dan Bewley cant do it for BV, with the way he rides the NSS, theres not much hope for anyone else
