If you take into account their investment in the facilities they will make a loss ,but if you take into account just the speedway side of things their crowd levels and wages paid they probably won't lose money IMO .Crowd have been decent from what I have been told and their catering and alcohol sales will have brought in a much bigger income.

Dont really think that is the point though.The other Poster was making the point of Official information ,the Club are always telling the fans not to listen to "forum fannies"and wait for Official Statements.There was no link to a Facebook Quote on here.

The only informationI see on here regarding Teams is your Post where you said you are guessing!!

Barker was a free agent as far as I an concerned,BUTwhat do you make of his centre green interview last Sat.

Its obvious that an Independant Body needs to be set up to run the sport.but we all know that's not going to happen

No,only the good ones are published.!!! If any rider though the track was "dangerous "they need to consider what to do to make money.If it was difficult they need to adapt to suit conditions ,the throttle works both ways and set -ups can be altered to suit conditions quite readily by decent riders.How can riders win races in the fastest times recorded this season and say the track is crap.the sport is becoming a joke.

Cook saying this weeks SS that his Ash-Tech tuned engine is awesome when "there is a bit of dirt on the track"which is strange giving his moaning about Berwick after breaking track record,which had that bit of dirt on it.

?

Put some dirt on the track like 5 years ago and a decent rider like Cook or Kurtz round Sheffield will break the track record,similar to what Cook done at Berwick on Sat,the downside half the other riders can't handle it or will want to go home!!!

As long as his club fans keep supplying money to cover their losses he won't.(commendable of them by the way,but not really helping the sport in general)

Rulebook/over complicated

The riders are to blame,it's been the case in speedway at every track regarding some riders liking conditions and some not but that is just an excuse,riders have adapt to conditions on the night.Imo is some one like Sissis can do what's wrong with the rest of them.Klindt was an absolute joke for someone who is meant to be an International speedway rider.(well that's probably what it says on his van).Too many 2nd rate speedway riders around these days making some easy money when they feel in the mood.Fans are not going to waste their hard earned money just to hand to them IMO .

Its the riders attitude towards the fans that should be looked at,take the hump if things don't suit no consideration to the paying public.the Berwick fans are not critisizing the track.Some riders were a disgrace on Sat .Speedway is dead duck with riders like them.

Certainly seems to have a chip on his shoulder regarding British Speedway IMO .Good luck to him I feel he will need it with his attitude.

Mushroom syndrome regarding Ben IMO .Why did the article in Newsletter mention he was off.I have no problem with him leaving just the fact he never mentioned it when interviewed on Sat. I'm sure the fans would understand.

naughty Ben then!

Its all bit farcical these days.

After reading the newsletter wonder if Ben told them he was going to Peterborough ,they surely know about it as Peterborough appear to have announced it.

that's a surprise but that's Speedway I suppose.I guess the "we will have to wait and see" meant think I'm going to Peterborough next week.

Thats not what he said to Dick Barrie on the centre green.I got the distinct impression that he won't be back this season as he is letting his back heal naturally and didn't have an operation.

Maybe Cookie made them while flying to the Track record in Heat1,so let's blame him!!!!!!

I was standing against the wall coming off 2 bend and the fence is high there just saw him come off the bend on the inside probably picked up a bit of drive that early in the meeting and that probably took him across the track.I just think he needs to get a it more under control at times,only my opinion though.

I'm not making a comment regarding Bates incident with Carr on Sat as I did not get a good view from where I was standing at the time,but I will say that Bates is not in control of the bike in a good part of his races IMO he is just hanging on and the bikes is taking him round,have seen him a few times now and still get the same impression .

Unlucky for Arthur unfortunate clash ,looked really good on Sat wish him a speedy recovery,definitely has what it takes to progress at speedway.Bellego was shocking on Sat definitely Disapointed me this season,not sure what he really wants ,don't think he really wants to ride in UK .

Look back this thread to post 116 there is a link to it
