Nothing to do with Mr Worral then

Could not agree more, at Berwick we have had a guest at No7 for most of the season, a 2 point position should be easy to fill even if they are not brilliant

And there was me thinking in a very calm and collective way, that I had found a new very lucrative way of raising money for THE BEN FUND.

My suggestion to both of you, rent a roped off area, and bat the living daylights out of each other there. Might be able to sell tickets for The Ben Fund

Sounds more like a reply has been dictated to you from the BSPA, have you become the spokes person for them. UK decisions made by UK clubs in the UK, should be a priority, not taking trade abroad, support the UK economy.

Sorry Pal, the AGM is not a time to take a holiday, its to sort the BL**dy mess out that they have got speedway into. That meeting should be held in the UK and not Tenerife. The reason for Tenerife is simply to have a jolly and a p*ss up, most decisions will have already been discussed, and the most they have to do is stick their hands into the air, or perhaps somewhere more appropriate.

And so you should. The original shale was a very dark whinstone grit which I believe was grippy, Peter tried some red shale to see if it would drain more easily, didn't work, so it was blended in till it basically disappeared

The shale was red, Jenga

Aye ! Berwicks big mistake this year, all worries about him , shown to be true

I will see what I can do

Thought we had solved this problem . Scantily dressed start tart with a flag, will take your mind off the real start tarts on the bike

I suppose you could say Doolan and Howe probably will not hold their average as well. Te other 3 have potential

Summers pretty average around Shielfield, occasionally hits a 12, most of the time 6 or7 points, do you want an 8 pointer who may drop to a 7.5 ish. With the other 5 probably nailed on, can fit in a 9 pointer and an 8.5 rider, assuming the starting points are 42.5.

All while tuning a piano

Makes sense, cut the cost a bit

The private club will just change the rules to suit

A majority rather than a few, me thinks

Calm down Dave, hope you not going through the change pal.

Let the flier go and shoot the rest

That's where most speedway clubs are going wrong in the present, I feel

At the end of the day, it's up to the management whom they let in for free, they may do something behind the scenes that the average fan is not aware of. However, I think the best way to support a club is to always pay through the gate, over the years I have been offered free admission from various sources including the promotion. I have always declined them on the grounds that morally I should support my club by paying at the turnstiles.

Think of the boost in trade for the clutch makers

Agree with you then, same problem up at Berwick

Without those faithful few who give up their free time to help at speedway, there would be no speedway anyway, the least for those who do is free entry and a free cup of tea from Mrs E. I am sure a way will be found for The Diamonds to survive, I certainly, as one of the enemy up the road, really hope so.
