  1. It has been mentioned on the Peterborough thread.
  2. I would suspect it is :- - Another years experience behind him - Only on a 2 average now - He's British - The quality of reserves he will be racing against next year will not be the standard that he faced last year.
  3. With a possible reduction of 8%, if he didn't ride any meetings in 2016.
  4. Interesting signing Bridger to Berwick. Could it be with a Courtney connection, that Mark has worked for or knows Bridger in the past. Just interested.
  5. I now wouldn't mind Danny back. Firstly he's now on a two, and i would expect him to get that practically everywhere, given the reduced nature of the reserves being talked about by other teams.
  6. I believe it was, but the agreement was changed to 25years instead. Maybe the payments going up was just too much to continue. In John Leslie's excellent post above, Post #1261, the new tenants could just rent it, rather than pay the larger payments to try and buy it.
  7. Big thanks to everyone who turned up today at the track. As well as doing about half the work on the office flooring, we also managed a couple of fence repairs, and dug a drainage trench to divert water from getting under the office flooring. 9.30am to 2.00pm, and observed the 11.00pm silence for Remembrance Day. With it being indoor work to finish next week, it shouldn't be weather dependant, so it's another 9.30 am start next Sunday Hope to see you then.
  8. I don't really know, but it might be that his last meetings hadn't been included for the previous average, and the meetings dropped off, due to rolling averages, were on the low side. Just a thought.
  9. I was probably at that meeting. Me and a mate used to spend our two week factory holiday travelling around the tracks sleeping in the car, and taking in all the Diamonds away meetings during that time. Remember getting there in the afternoon at Somerton and parked alongside Pete Kelly, who was on his own and sleeping. It would have had to be about July time as that was the factory holiday period. Would that have been the first League meeting or the friendly.
  10. Steve 8.47 Ludde 7.69 Kerr 5.98 Morris 4.98 Rose 6.12 Branford 4.76 Danny 2.00 TOTAL 40.00
  11. I can just see you shouting 'Come on the Monarchs'
  12. Better steer clear of a Durex deal then.
  13. When i have been down I have eaten at the first bend diner, and was quite pleased at what i got. Has there been changes, i.e. quality, price, choice ?
  14. Barker, missing rolling stock and altercation, surely not ? History repeating itself.
  15. I think you need to look at my smilies after my comment. I know Tim very well.
  16. Both Rene and Kerr are the dark horses.
  17. Yes. Alan had about 4 riders sponsored with very distinctive black mudguards, with a series of sponsors in blocks down the guards covering the front forks legs. Also the fork cover was black with Ham Racing in green dots. I have them on one of my bikes. The Riders who were sponsored were Scott, Tai ?, Auty, Wrathall. Possibly Joe Haines as well.
  18. I believe Alan was hired as an official for SKY TV meetings. He was usually seen in both BV locations when on the tele.
  19. I can see 4 of that team signed. Robert or Steve ? Clegg no chance. Robbo, elsewhere possibly Sheffield Knight ? Tero, possibly if guaranteed fit
  20. Yes. There is an common agreed rate paid to riders, which is no way near the actual rates in their contracts.
  21. I remember him really struggling and talking to HalifaxTiger about him, as he had seen a lot of him presumably at Mildenhall/Kings Lynn. Sheffield used him as a NL guest in 2016, but never caught your eye. It was suggested he should replace Danny at some time during the last season, but others doubted he would be an improvement.
