It doesn’t say much about him when you say he ain’t going to stay straight working in Poundland.Why not?

He was almost invariably last in Heat 1 last year, and rarely seemed interested. Be careful what you wish for ...

I'm also on the fence about it, because like you say, speedway is his only real hope of getting back on the straight and narrow. He ain't going to stay straight working in Poundland, let's be real. However, you can point to the fact that he was banged up while being a speedway rider, so how many chances do you give someone?

or in some cases 4/5 weeks

The date was set/confirmed at the time of the original meeting being cancelled. So unless the meeting planned for tomorrow (6th) is cancelled there’s no need for any further updates. Just for the shareholders who wish to attend to turn up at the appointed place & time. 

Hopefully most clubs will have a development team too.
