It would be nice if we could get a few more people to commit their support (and money) to the project. I really hope that all the fans that pledged to finanancially donate, actually do that. I pledged my support at the meeting and will donate as soon as I get the details. There has been a lot of effort being put in to getting this unique project off the ground, its never been done before and it will be great if it succeeds.

If that's the case then they can stuff it!

I believe Steve Ribbons was the man behind the failed attempt to bring Speedway back to the Royal Norfolk Showground in Norwich. Unfortunately the publicity surrounding the attempt didn't result in its success. I can't remember the reasons behind that Norwich failure, but lets hope this is not another "pie in the sky" scheme that will fall flat on its face like the Norwich one did? I wish Steve all the luck in the World and hope we as fans of the Mildenhall Club can get this plan up and running this year. I'll reserve my judgement on Mr Ribbons until I've heard what his plan is.

It would be helpful if the Mildenhall Speedway website was updated as well? I think the last entry on "latest news" was July last year. Keeping everybody involved far and wide is what publicity is all about.

What's the difference between the National Leauge teams and the National Trophy teams? I must have missed this somewhere. Still mourning the loss of Mildenhall, I loved my Sunday afternoons sitting on the grass bank of the back straight eating my chips and the youngsters giving it full gas!

I see lots of people without a programme, and if my Wife comes with me, we only buy one programme, so putting the price up even higher (perhaps by £3) to include a programme is not a good idea in my opinion.

There is of course the option to stay at home and spend your £25 on the fuel bill? Have you been to a football match lately and seen how much they charge.

Yep, been there, done that with potential sites for a new track near Norwich. We found a great site in a gravel pit, a natural bowl which seemed ideal. Planning application turned down on road access, and not approved until a new large road junction was built. A few years down the line, the road junction was built, planning application turned down again! In the meantime they gave permission for a huge new retail park next to our proposed site with a big Sainsburys, The Range, Boots, Next and numerous other stores all exiting at the same junction which the planners said was not suitable for a Speedway stadium. Regular chaos and queues at the junction, so words fail me!

I am a frequent visitor to our local Theatres, such as the Corn Exchange in Kings Lynn, to see live music. The shows are generally between £28 and £35 per person for 2 hours live entertainment. Some shows are even more. The killer for me is that I live just south of Norwich, so its a 100 mile round trip and the cost of fuel has to be factored in. Plus the cost of a programme, perhaps a drink and some chips and its a big expense now I'm a pensioner. I think the admission price is OK, but its the total cost that makes it difficult for some people.

Just to point out Kerry, Its Alfie Bowtell, in the Plymouth line up, not Botwell.

What comments did Alex Brady make? Or is it not legal to publish them!

Am I missing something here? With only Ashton announced so far, where are all these other names coming from?

I have a feeling the weather will win this fixture sadly. I've just had a look at the rain radar for Monday evening in Birmingham and its not good.

Thanks Gaz. This looked to be an entertaining match which I planned to watch on BSN, but didn't want to part with my cash if its either going to be rained off or raced on a wet muddy lottery of a track! Further updates nearer tapes up would be very much appreciated.

Another great Guest showing from Lewis Kerr after his 1 point for Lynn at home against Ipswich. I thought he can't be as bad as that again......I was wrong!
