  1. When I went to Owlerton for the Wolves match recently there were issues with the track early on which they had several goes at sorting out before an extended grade after heat 6 finally sorted it and it was fine thereafter and there was some excellent racing Perhaps Sheffield need to review their track prep
  2. Changes to the stadium layout would need the agreement of the landlords and are likely to prove expensive even if consent could be obtained
  3. Given the crowd level/sponsorship requirements outlined by Brum prior to the start of the season then adding in the late team assembly, missing riders, medical cover disaster and the Ellis short termer not being declared it can be no surprise that Brum are losing money. The only positive is that they can make it to the end of the season and pay all the bills as they go hopefully.
  4. The problems that the owners/developers may or may not encounter in the planning process will be irrelevant if they give the speedway club notice at the end of the season Arena Essex is still tied up in a laborious planning process but once the speedway is gone its gone
  5. Agreed but the costs are sustainable generally The championship is tricky doubly so given the Eagles request for assistance/sponsorship. See Birmingham, Newcastle and the last effort of the Eagles for evidence.
  6. Yes. The greyhounds should be on so the car park should be open. No issues leaving it there through to the speedway. Walk in to town or catch the 79 bus on the main Bilston Road
  7. National league would seem the most sensible option Be good to see the Eagles back
  8. Masters had bike issues in his first two Bizarre selection by Adams in heat 15 though (not for the first time away from home) should have been Becker and Douglas
  9. Get that but at least something is moving now at the Abbey albeit at a snails pace. The speedway promotion going in all guns blazing will make zero positive difference to the outcome sadly
  10. I'd imagine that any "pressure" from the Robins on the stadium landlord is likely to be met with the threat of termination of the speedway lease. Wait and see is the correct approach certainly in public anyway
  11. Always a few dogs at Peterborough. There's plenty of space over the back straight to walk them. Seen dogs at Ippo as well last week
  12. Wolves can't afford another home defeat Hope Douglas is fit.
  13. Why have the club been given notice then if no sale agreed?
  14. Bad news. 20 mins from my inlaws in Falkirk. Always enjoyed my visits. This has been coming for years though I'm surprised it's taken this long
  15. There is already permission for speedway racing at Brandon (and Swindon) the application covers new elements of the site that don't have permission like leisure facilities etc
  16. I had a conversation with Greg Hancock once, he also calls it a straightaway
  17. Yes fair comment. I think he'll do OK
  18. If you can ride Armadale he shouldn't have too much trouble round Monmore.
  19. In fairness people who have no experience in speedway normally don't survive long hence having someone who has is pretty essential. It's why John Cook et al always found jobs
