Bruce Penhall holds Cradley Heathens to Ransom for £30,000

[@tutornick]

Penhall is and always will be a Heathens legend. His departure left the way for Erik and Lance to emerge and the Heathens became even stronger.

I was there .helping big Andy Reid in the pits ..

£30,000 a year for the world champ. That's about 5 minutes of run of the mill premier league footballer nowadays.

Great video! Have you heard about cradley next year?

[@martynhepworthArchiveSpeedway]

Yes Hollie, a real shame

[@holliehighway6246]

Martyn Hepworth I cant believe it such and amazing team

[@nervo6321]

Bruce had already made his mind by this stage that he was going to leg it before the end of the season....i am sure....

[@angliscsaxon1288]

Really shocked me this has I thought Bruce retired on the podium after winning his second world final. Cradley should have kept lance king he was mustard along with Phil Collins and Erik Henderson. Ommer um cradley

[@chiefwiggum9667]

who is Erik Henderson ?

[@AngloSaxon449]

@@chiefwiggum9667 sorry Gundersen

[@holliehorsesandspeedway6832]

Great video

[@ianholmes3761]

Bruce probably just wanted to give somebody else a chance.

[@davidlewis6456]

Teflon Bruce showing his true colours. Always seen as a knight in shining armour. Never liked him & this action, plus reneging on the contract he demanded by retiring on the 82 WF rostrum, tells you all you need to know about him.

Looks like it's been run in the middle of the night

[@jacksonirving4594]

Was foggy.

[@chiefwiggum9667]

It,s not unusual to race under floodlights. You should know this if you are a speedway fan !

[@robbrownhill312]

SO BRUCE RIPPED CRADLEY OFF FOR 30 GRAND , AND THEN DIDNT FULFILL HIS COMMITMENT TO THE SEASON , ........SHOULD OF PUT A CLAUSE ON THAT 30 GRAND THAT HE FINISHED THE SEASON ....

[@antonyhobbs1144]

The biggest cheat in the history of speedway

[@martynhepworthArchiveSpeedway]

A little harsh....

[@TombstoneHeart]

Yep - he deliberately ran dead in a race to get more Americans into a world final and got the reception he deserved from the crowd. Speedway people were used to Iron Curtain riders team riding in individual championships, but when riders from the so-called greatest democracy in the world do it, speedway fans have every right to feel pissed off!

[@jacksonirving4594]

Nah..

[@Brent-qu3yk]

Nope you smoking dope😂🎉
