Predicted costs divided by number of meetings, then, number of paying fans at £20 a head , to cover those expected costs. simples

A hell of a lot more than now snd definitely enough to have hit the 1000 currently needed

09.06.2023 KOC QF L2, Scunny v Brum
the hobbit replied to ScunnyDan's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
No tac sub rides allowed in two legged matches. Team declared 5 days prior to the meeting snd then the riding order can’t be changed. Yet another tactical blunder from you know who -
That’s on a good day. nearer 350 average
-
No. Closed down

You are so so wrong!!! Rogers is an inept buffoon and is the worst thing to have happened to our club in recent times. There are many fans who feel like this snd many who stay away because of him. He’s never been part of a successful team snd never will be . there’s a reason he’s had so many clubs snd that’s because once they realise how much of a muppet he is, they can’t wait to get rid of him you are welcome to him at your club because we don’t want him at ours

No, it’s literally two minutes in the car follow the park and ride signs. Just before the park snd ride car park, you csn follow the road around to the right and it takes you straight to the track where you can park. really easy best bet when you get near the park snd ride, I’d just watch where the fans are waking and follow them -
10 on a rolling basis

Birmingham, not Scunthorpe

Would have to get new planning permission as we are only allowed Wednesday nights with very very limited alternatives snd, up until now, it’s been made clear that the council are very opposed to changing this arrangement unfortunately

BRUMMIES V EDINBURGH Wed 17th May CL
the hobbit replied to Brummies_Ste's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
Wright nowhere near fit. Only rode because we didn’t want to use a four point guest as the 28 day facility was over .we had a rider lined up as a 28 day temporary cover and we should have signed him . Wright was riding , not racing. Credit him for giving it a go but it wasn’t doing him or the team any good !! -
I have. Sorry. But still a very impressive pairing

We had a fantastic day . Thank you words Can’t quantify just how impressed we were by what had been achieved. So much space, so much potential snd most importantly, the work done has been done to a very high standard snd using quality materials. Attention to detail including the landscaping snd tree planting, shows a promotional to team not afraid to spend money. the pits are the biggest I’ve ever seen!!! the track shows just what can be achieved on a blank canvas. Eat your hearts out Leicester, this is what you could snd should have done !!! To be honest, the track is too good for national league riders to fully exploit. Just wait until you see the top guys racing on this track which has the potential to be the best race track on the country. i think you missed a trick by not charging for car parking. no one would object to paying £1 / £2 to park the car snd all revenue helps i wish you every success for the future. Everyone connected with getting this far should be proud of themselves I’d strongly urge all fans to get there snd watch a meeting . You won’t be disappointed Csnt wait until you are in our league do thst I csn watch the Brummies up there. a fantastic day, well worth the 500+ mile round trip

A draw.

Impressive team. The mountain / pjiper looks particularly strong

T- travelling up from Birmingham. Can’t wait. Up the Comets.

Can’t remember but it was enough to see that he looked like he was way out of his depth and was struggling badly so much so that he’d struggle even at reserve on that form so, as I said, I’m not at all surprised he hadn’t got a team place he came to one of our mid season meetings and was interviewed in the interval in which he said he was hoping to “ be back soon”. Most fans really hoped that didn’t happen as the guests were scoring far more than Josh had been doing
-
Agreed
-
All wishful thinking /speculation
-
You keep saying this but where do you get that from as no one else is saying this snd there’s nothing anywhere else to suggest this is happening. Is it just wishful thinking on your behalf?
-
Auty came in on around a 7 average but was scoring way below that. He looked slow snd well past his sell by date. When he got injured, we benefitted by guests on his initial average as he was due a new , lower average very soon after he was injured. He was performing at the level of a poor reserve. Not surprised no one has offered him a place on his current average.
-
Auty was dreadful last time around. No way would he be a decent signing ,
-
The rules have been changed this year to stop such an event and , the season long use of guests for Kennet, by Plymouth from happening. you can only use guests for the first 28 days then you either sign a replacement or you can use a lesser standard guest, ( up to 75% of the average of the missing rider). this is why Scunthorpe made the changes they recently made as the 28 days facility had ended. It’s why wolves recently issued a press release explaining just this scenario snd how it’s hampering them too our 28 days is now up so we either sign a replacement or use riders with an average of around 4.2, thus making the team weaker. come on Martin , keep up !!!!

Myself and two friends are coming up from Birmingham for the opening meeting. Can anyone tell me the admission price please as I can’t find it on the clubs website. Also, will there be any food outlets at the track where we can get a meal after our early start. thanks
