Haza

Not sure how asking if Mr Ribbons was connected to the return of speedway to Norwich is scuppering Mildenhall return to the track action ? I was just asking basically if it was the same person that’s all - I certainly don’t have any personal issues with Mr Ribbons I wish Mildenhall well and hope they do return this coming season .

A metal post set in concrete isn’t going to move how ever much protection is put around it I really can’t see how speedway can return to West Row now the stock car fence has been installed.

Am correct in thinking Ribbons was involved with the aim to bring speedway back to Norwich?

Best bet is to find a wealthy sponsor or backer borrowing the money without knowing how successful the venture will be is very risky- if I’d pledged money as a fan Id withdraw it if the 100 or so fans are deemed responsible for repaying for any loan if that’s the route they go down

Can’t see the club returning not with those sort of figures £40.000 for a hand full of meetings in front of 500 fans doesn’t make financial sense to me unless they can find as you say someone with very deep pockets to fund it .

Looking at other photos of the track as well the concrete stock car fence has narrowed the track up get a wooden fence on the straights with a small gap between the concrete and the wood fence and a foam or air fence on the bends will the white line have to be move in ? the track as it is looks really narrow

Taken down before stock car meetings but I guess if no stocks it’s left up until the next speedway meeting

Big advantage of kings Lynn foam barrier riders who fall don’t tend to end up underneath it air fences lift up and offer less protection - Chris Holders crash at Coventry is prime example.

Time to get a fire stick I think .

F1 Stock cars at Lynn the night before let’s hope the weather is kind on the Saturday night and will be an all nighter I’d say turning the stadium around for 3pm Sunday .

What about fans who have pre paid for a Cardiff hotel

Iversen a dead cert from what Rob told me in Torun 2 weeks ago

I’d say the chances of that happening is 0.00% he’d sooner concentrate on what makes him better money ie Stock Cars

I’m not convinced they’d be allowed to drop down unless another was to go up from the PL .

Zac Cook recalled by Birmingham on a short term loan deal

Pickering was a Brady signing I think ? and left smartish after Brady left - Pickering was I guess the most significant Aussie signing in recent years - Heeps and Proctor was very forgettable

Yes Brady signed him

KL problems started from that night it’s been a downward spiral season on season from then on - the rights and wrongs of that night are irrelevant now but riders talk riders see what went on think that has in a way stopped Aussie riders coming to race for the club were as before that night we’d always had a good tradition of using Aussies that seems to have stopped .Has the club signed a Aussie since Holder and Batch ? Off the top of my head I’d say no . Chapmans enthusiasm for speedway died that night as well .

Think it’s fair to say all is not well at KL there has been dodgy call offs in fact very dodgy but bit harsh wanting KL expelled from the league I’d have thought losing any club is the last thing the sport needs .

Yes your correct I should put my location guess it doesn’t matter anyway what rain there was the meeting was canceled it could have been a dry bright summers night but if it’s canceled doesn’t matter either way

That’s how different things can be a few miles away certainly could have run here was dry all evening . Doesn’t matter what it’s like in south Lincs it’s what’s like at the stadium .

Without home meetings there is no income if that’s negative then I’m sorry it certainly not intended that way .

Maybe but it certainly could become a problem that obvious.

Next thing will be club can’t pay the riders because of lack of home meetings.

Rain started just before 11pm could easily have ran last night .
