Sheffield booked the tiny No1 room with no sea view for £200 per night but at the last minute we're allowed to switch to the Robert Lambert penthouse suite (amazing reassessed at just £175 per night)

i hope for Scunny sake they don't move up, fixed race nights could be the downfall

6.39 average a lot more realistic from the one we signed him on

Well I'm sure getting a ban for cocaine use will be a big boost to his case for access.

Assuming Richie is factually correct. Bottom line is if he never had cocaine in his system he wouldn’t have got a £1,500 fine if he took his punishment instead spouting off all over social media he wouldn’t have got the £3000 fine. No point in blaming everyone else.

And everyone else’s.

Looks like Richie is done with speedway from his latest post!

He'll pay considerably less than half the current CL in the PL. But he'll not lose money and have a competitive home team. If they average 25 points away he'll save money. He is very pragmatic. He's outlived a lot of dream merchants.

Would two promoters sharing a room be classed as 'doubling-up'......

He could be the most important signing of all. Best in the business IMO.

They picked the hotel because they had heard it has plenty of "guests".... I'll get me coat...

Nothing better than abit of cocaine to solve all your problems....

Hopefully we see another statement from the SCB in the coming days, adding yet another fine to his existing two and impose the suspended element of his ban also, clown deserves all he gets

Oh the irony!

Mmm ... so some claim , yest still they come back for more every season. Do they really think 2024 is going to be any better than 2023 ?

The guy is a complete muppet...

Show me proof otherwise

Will he be able to resist another response? I hope not..

That’s a choice remark coming from a Poole fan lisa…..lol. Yet again……I was only answering someone’s question but so sorry if I upset you.

can only mean that when Rob is in Hungry for the fim meeting this weekend he will be finalising deals with Magic and Laguta wondered why he was shying away from signing Luke Harrison

well certainly some deluded folk on here probably listening to Lewy and his source who said Steve Worrall is nailed on for scunny

Please No.... Happy where we are

If its scratching around for a sixth team to make it feasible then it absolutely is unfortunately.

Having seen Rye House close after the decision to move up to the Premier, I hope Scunthorpe don’t make the same mistake. I have no idea of the cost difference between the two leagues but surely points money must be more.

It'd be naive to think this wouldn't be going through the accounts as a tax deductible business expense

The bar isn’t very high to be fair

A very strong rumour Scunthorpe will be in the PL 2024 .

Personally the riders named have been here and done a bit, but Rene Bach would be an ok signing, but may not be cheap flying in and out of the country, didn't our promotion say the team had to be at a budget they could afford, would like to see a team of tryers that would win at home. Than a few top riders who may bankrupt the club on the 1st season back.

Why should the Championship have to suffer to preserve the “so called” Premiership when only a handful of the different riders in that division are better than the present level of second division riders…..the majority are the same riders anyway. It’s a farce. I know it’s unlikely to happen but surely, logically, it’s time for one league with each team meeting twice home and away.

This explains a lot then

On a personal level, the guy's (Richie) obviously got some issues and should probably seek some help

Don't see what his brother not getting a top league spot has got to do with it.

Think Poole 2024 will be a much improved side after their pretty dismal season in 2023.

Your wish had been granted

I bet we couldn't find a thread on the bsf without Skidder1 or lisa commenting on it. This is a Plymouth thread isn't it

Don't let the door hit you on the arse on the way out Richie.

Lol. Something about the jury being biased? (If we are going on what he originally posted and not something in the comments).

What a melt even with the extra 30 days for me isn’t enough I hope no one touches him with a barge pole this season.

The best would be to stay put and see some great competitive racing.Premiership is a league of riders with too great differing standards .

I just thought it was funny that you were going on at Skidder for not keeping on the subject you were discussing whilst also not doing the same on the thread

Spot on Lisa, he was asked by Glasgow but couldn't decide if he was giving up championship and Glasgow didn't want to wait for a decision and miss out on team building

Would make more sense for Rob Godfrey to step away from the top table of Speedway altogether and concentrate on running Scunny, driving his tractor and centre green presenting

Doubt it. That's how they want to skew it. Any time I've been to the Canaries it aint cheap. In principle it stinks to high heaven. Absolute disgrace. Tracks folding all over the place, the sport is strapped for cash, there's a cost of living crisis, they could have a meeting in Rugby and no need for any accommodation or extravagant expense or have a zoom meeting. As I understand it most of the decisions have already been made for 2024, this is just a jolly. They should be putting the money into facilities or reducing admission prices, not going on grandiose trips abroad. If they want to have a holiday then pay for it privately, not under the auspices of speedway.

It depends on what that budget is ! LOL !!

Ipswich need to be harsh with Doyle. He is 38 and is not going to get any better. I would go for Artem Laguta or Maciej Janowski.

Got some bites!

As they pay for it does it matter?

You can approach riders at any time of the year. Many have contracts in place long before the AGM. Of course, if they are on the retained list of another promoter you need their permission first.

so instead of using a fair method of an average based on their actual form, you want everyone to be graded which isn't fair way at all?

Who could've seen that coming.
