FOR THE REFUSED ONLY


I have a sense of humour also unlike some. Well compiled by yourself refused sorry it took too much of your valuable  time. Get your eyes tested if you need to type that big of font. There has been no objections from the people I’ve had a laugh with so keep your snout out of it. When I said I tell the truth I mean about riders

The funny thing is we don’t have 14 Simon Lamberts. The career second division man has been killed off by the short sighted rule changes of the last decade. They’re the bumblebees of British speedway. Nobody really cared about them but their demise brings down the whole shebang. 

Correct ...

But...

Bringing over a plethora of Szymon Lambertski's, and Simon Lambertsen's, to take places UK lads could have taken, was obviously too good an opportunity to miss...🙁

The whole country is virtually non British. I read where the birth rate here now is one in three born is British.

I think there’s a place for the bang average rider from abroad too in fairness. One who isn’t a world beater but competent and helps to make meetings competitive. Brexit probably made it harder to bring riders over who aren’t “elite” competitors though. 

Some of our issues stem from letting the existing, ageing rider pool hog team spots (doubling up) forcing less talented and/or up and coming riders out on one hand, then chasing big name riders who don’t really want to ride here with wads of cash we don’t have on the other. 

In any walk of life spending beyond your means is idiotic. Seems a lot of speedway fans think otherwise when it comes to who races for their team.

A wise promoter once said to me many years ago 40/38 and how you got there  was more important than a win even  , it's true you can forgive a home loss if the racing plus result are  close and  exciting IMO ! 

The last thing you want to see is countless numbers of 5/1's and four riders strung out with the last one parking up on the centre green with a lap to go .Whilst I don't want to see 1970's World of Sport wrestling ( fixed and badly  rehearsed) something in between maybe achievable .

There is nothing better than two riders side by side elbow to elbow entering the last bend and one winning by half a wheel, ,demanding skill trust with the result being in many respects irrelevant   .

As far as I know there are no great rewards for winning the leagues in this country , extra income for the play off's  but who cares who wins it's how they do it  IMO .
