TB1 Posted May 25 Report Share Posted May 25 Today's fixtures, or this one and return later shows how much the sport has declined in the UK. I seem to remember some of the Bank Holidays had a full league programme in both leagues. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"ate you making any changes to your setup for tonight" 😂 If you've got nothing meaningfully interesting to ask, don't ask anything at all... may as well have asked him what he's having for his dinner! Jack Holder has had a stinker this afternoon and really cost his team big time. And me ninety quid.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

InTheDeepStuff Posted May 25 Report Share Posted May 25 No longer follow Sheffield to every home and away so by picking and choosing looks like this meeting was a good one to miss. Holder jnr goes missing again at NSS so good job Holder snr turned up or Sheffield could have been handed theirs on a plate by Belle Vue.

Just had a very quick glance, and race-winning times don't look any different from other meetings this season - perhaps the surface was more unpredictable?

And £2k a point?... Given the "punishment" for getting injured in another league, I would also be very "cautious" when riding over here. . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But they still keep signing them... The top tier is vital for the credibility and integrity of the sport according to Mr Lemon.. Hate the game, not the player.. Even though he cost me £90 today...

Whether they paid up might be a different matter... You can understand why some riders won't take any undue risks.. Gate and win, don't gate and settle... Especially on those "technical tracks" in the UK that seemingly you need to race on to be a World Champion... These lads on huge contracts are racing against school kids on some of these circuits... I can understand their thinking when deciding how much risk to take... To be fair, come play off time, most will bring their A Game ..

M.D Posted May 25 Report Share Posted May 25 Money has always been there in Poland for a while. When I worked with Adam Shields he top scored in an away meeting that Leszno won, they gave him 2 brand new engines for that performance and Thats going back a good few years now. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeez when you look at those numbers you have to give them credit for riding here at all for relative buttons in comparison. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
