  1. Its me again, there is no escape Iain. Its B he has an operation in the closed season and will not be fully recovered until mid season I think I remember May being quoted.
  2. The condition would not be disclosed and the support mechanic has already been stated in two press released which were approved by the family before release.
  3. Jen has asked me to see if you want to pop along to the stadium so she can explain how the club is supporting Dave through his illness. Can you suggest a time and date that works best for you?
  4. Totally agree. We all have to use the same supplier and installer. Suspect trying to fix it will be Jen's number one priority before the next meeting.
  5. Only Me! Right I have answere the 2 minute clock earlier. With regards to the signage the interview board and pits signage is supplied "centrally" to all clubs. So it has not arrive yet. The rest of the signage in the stadium is provided by Europress who are the best in the business, high qualityh, delivered in time and understand the requirements of the club.
  6. 25th March 2025: Automated start working fine 27th March 2025: Automated start shorted out. Same issue apparently as Kings Lynn and Kent have had. This also wipes out the 2 minute clock. Its a new system for this season and it looks like its very hit and miss. I would be having a word with the QC department at the manufacturer.
  7. He was very complementary about the track last night to Stewart to the point he said he can not understand why he hated riding it in the past.
  8. The first home meeting was always going to be the best time to go to Birmingham and so it proved. In addition to timing, the Leicester Team has a number of riders that really like Perry Bar, so from the home sides perspective possibly the worst opposition they could of had.
  9. a An interesting view as pricing is not down to either Eurosport (as legally it will not exist) and the BSPA. Pricing is down to the bean counters at WBD European HQ.
  10. Its dependant on two factors 1. How it fits with other live sports shown across Europe or the world and 2. the availability of satilite time and therefore cost.
  11. Try being the start marshal towards the end of the season when the yellow helmet colour has been washed 30+ times!
  12. At the time meetings are broadcast live there will be 8 minutes of ads per hour(between 6pm-11pm). So you have to expect a meeting to last a minimum of 20 minutes longer plus 30 seconds intro and outro per ad break. Speedway is a sport made for TV but I fear not live, its needs to be a hour prepacked programme, covering a couple of meetings and a couple of additional races of incident. Dont expect all 15 heats from a meeting they would drop the poor ones. Now with the limited concentration span of Z's & Alpha's a 60 second race is the ideal length of time to appeal to a new younger generation of fans
