  1. Do you mean the land midland sports stadiums sold to developers , the Midlands sports stadium that the promoter only owned 10% of the shares to ? and what would you do with his 10 % . invest it into making Coventry the best stadium in the country .,or piss it down the drain trying to run a team without hardly any support ,that had already closed 3 times previously ?
  2. Bradford bulls didn't pay that much in rent , they paid out too much in wages to make it viable , and they were less than keen to let anybody else share even when times got hard .
  3. Most definitley not . I would do it .with a Euro lotto win .and i would do the same to Hull Kingston rovers given the chance
  4. They would if speedway was in a stadium they wanted to take over , If i won Euromiilions I would build a stadium for the Bulls ,let them move in at cheap rent , then chuck them out mid season
  5. Sadly speedway sold it's media rights to Dick Turpin , the reinvestment rate of Turpin via advertising is zero , but the legal threats to anyone wanting to promote the sport using media are top priority . shame that all the sky dosh found its way into Dicks pockets , there, was an opportuinity to reinvest in some advertising to attract people who don't already follow speedway rather than constantly preaching to the converted
  6. I have a friend from france on holiday in scotland for 2 weeks . he has spent this afternnoon trying to find somehwere he can buy a speedway star . do you know of anyhwere ? i think Edinburgh is his first stop tomorrow

  7. So do loads of other british kids , and they all live here as well
  8. Seriously what did you expect ,
  9. Real issue is , why are they giving an Aussie a team place , are there no British kids without a team spot ?
  10. Do these people who are prepared to step in include Mark Robinson ? god help Cradley if it does , The current promotion have tried all the various avenues to find a new home and seem to have hit a brick wall named Dudley council at every step , Robinson can't even hold a reasonable debate on FB without making himself look a complete prat , let alone negotiate the heathens into a new home . just take a look at what, division has done to Coventry ,because somebody thinks they have all the answers . thats' what's likely for Cradley if the current promotion walks away ,
  11. The old local derbies are a memory I shall cherish forever , The old corporation buses used to stop in Hinckley and pick up , one of the great things about speedway back then was of course the banter between supporters , and the journey was often more fun than some of the meetings . Those hot dogs were cooked the week before in MRs O's kitchen and kept warm in silver foil I used to love the trips to Swindon for the Heinz soup myself .
  12. You didn't go very often then I first went to Brandon in 1959 , and have been a bees fan ever since , I was taken to speedway by my older brother who is sadly no longer with us , and I wouldn't dream of insulting his memory by paying to watch the arch enemy ,
  13. Not a snowballs chance that I would come and watch any Leicester team ,
  14. would be interesting to know , I have been asking some people on FB who go to cubs meetings , seems like a big secret , as nobody will say
  15. No idea about financing TBH , you have to speculate to accumulate though , IMHO BSI have made more than enough and largely crippled league speedway in the process ,so maybe time to dig deep and invest some of it back in ,
  16. Perhaps . if there were 2 meetings for every gp . 24 riders in total , top 8 from last gp straight to the next GP , bottom 8 + 8 others race for a gp spot on friday , no more home country wildcards diluting the quality . wonder how many riders would miss the friday qualifiers ridng in Poland then ?
  17. sounds like i was lucky I missed it , sir shoutalot at full rev . and not much racing
  18. Prague and Lonigo are usually rubbish . I think Lambert is doing ok ,certainly a lot better than some expected . good to see him in the semis again . and even better for me , good to see Doyle not ..
  19. It was for Leicester . deliveries Leicestershire Shale !!!
  20. Its the transport that makes shale expensive . Glyn taylor posted the acutal prices once , it was something like .£300 a load for the shale .and £1500 to deliver it
  21. Sometimes it just turns out that way !!
  22. Somebody change the name of the title please . every time is see it I'm singign the song in my head all day .
  23. He doesn;t do them anymore . It was no_brakes. uk
