Best of luck in all your endeavours this season Barry. I am sure a good many on here appreciate your updates and honesty, not to mention the way you and the team down there actually go about promoting your sport and business.. Many could do a lot worse than learning from what you all do down there..

Here's something that some of you (particularly iris123) may find interesting... Board-track racing (huge steeply-banked ovals - and sometimes circles - constructed from wood) was huge in the US from 1910 until the 1920's, and is considered one of the forerunners of speedway on this side of the pond. The Playa del Rey track in California opened in 1910, and was followed by dozens of others around the country. In fact, we had a couple here in the Cincinnati area, with one in Sharonville (a couple of miles from where I work), and the Lagoon Raceway in over the river in Ludlow, Kentucky. The tracks soon became known as "Murderdromes" due to the amount of fatalities, which included several of the leading riders. Worse than that, a number of spectators were to lose their lives, with a major tragedy occurring at the Lagoon Raceway in July, 1913, when Odin Johnson was killed, along with seven spectators. One of the biggest names in the sport was Eddie Brinck. Sadly, Brinck was to lose his life in August 1927, during a race in Springfield, Massachusetts. Last week, I finally got around to visiting the AMA Hall of Fame inductee's grave up in Dayton.

As we announced we had discussion with Thiery from the French league and we continue to explore that route and what is possible, but while waiting to see how far that could progress we of course had to put a season in place for 2021. It is this basis that we look forward now, and if we can develop further with France happy days. France as you may know currently has terrible Covid, so this is another factor is the challenge. Keep safe all

After a bit of research it appears that full capacity is 100%.

Well you were half right (for now) Sarjeant announced.

My sympathy to all the decent Poole fans.

Jake Allen next... get ya shirt on it at Paddy Power...

Some chancer with no equipment?

James Sarjeant and Jake Allen... both fit and Scunny not happy... How's that... Regards THJ

How about James Sarjeant...

Yes. Obviously, it matters to her or she wouldn't have wasted her time asking. Maybe it doesn't matter to you, but then it seems silly wasting your time responding. (especially as you don't know either).

Claus Vissing, Ellis Perks,or hopefully Jake Allen

TEAM NEWS Roy Clarke will join co-promoter Jamie Swales this evening at 7:30pm live on Facebook & YouTube to introduce the 6th rider to join the Redcar Bears for the 2021 season Facebook http://ow.ly/CtU430rFeSB YouTube http://ow.ly/1eZu30rFeSA #UpTheBears

Think of a number and divide it by 2 then add 1.5, put a orange in your left shoe and hop on one leg. The answer will fit the team building.

As I've said many times before, as you quite rightly say the older generation don't like to buy things on line......plus.........a lot of the older generation don't have computers, mobile phones etc;, I just wish that businesses would realise and accept that.

CURRENTLY can have 50 per cent crowd attendance, hoping for 100 per cent by the time date comes round.

Eddie Brinck was one of the early US dirt track riders who also toured Australia. Think he had just returned to the States when he died I posted some evidence on a thread here that the broadsiding technique originated in the US. At least one Aussie newspaper said as much and illustrated the technique

Buying advance tickets online would have a far simpler refund process than the nonsense that occurs once within the stadium and meeting is abandoned

no the greyhound equipment has been vandalised and their unit broken into with tyre slashed on the tractor

Could be the TV match.....

Maybe Iwade/Sittingbourne, Isle of Wight Lydd and Weymouth could come together with some French, Italian and Spanish teams and form the European Super League?

Would the damage not be covered by insurance?

Like I say, come have a go! Anyone willing to volunteer 6 hours on a Saturday to go out publicly and try keep people entertained gets praise in my book. They always be doyles like you wanting to slate them but never step up and volunteer your own expertise. Personally think that talking for 3.5 hours to a microphone connected to the entire internet with no previous experience is some good going! Talking over extended breaks when absolutely nothing is happening for half an hour. Drop me a message and we'll get you lined up for the next one and see if you get as much praise as they have
