British Speedway doesn't have the finances to issue those demands anymore. If someone is signed to the top 2 divisions of the Polish League they'll just leave. We're already in a rider shortage situation having to have wobblers at reserve in both our leagues.

I don't follow Championship Speedway at all, what's been the situation with teams going to Poole on a Wednesday & Glasgow on a Sunday for example?? Has there been regular R/R - Guests due to none injured rider's being elsewhere??

It only doesn't have the finances because the crowds are not coming in.

If riders want to ditch UK for Poland, fair enough, good luck to them. Currently the lunatics are running the asylum.Ā

The frustration of course being it has had the finances ..

Just used wrongly....

Simon Lambert? Robert Lambert? Neither known outside a tiny circle of followers but a big difference in earnings I would think...

Using just a few millions of the many the sport has taken in and laid out to riders over the past 3 decades, and, instead using this money to market and promote the sport, or subsidise admission costs, and many more would be attending now given the public awareness would be much greater...

"I need a GP rider!, I need a No1, and they don't come cheap"!!

And all to "attract" the current crowd levels...?

Unfortunately we are where we are but I'd take 100% committed Simon Lambert over play off Bob every day of the week šŸ‘šŸ»
