TMW

I must admit I’ve not been on here for some time !! Only when I’m pointed towards it ! In the 1st instance I will declare a conflict of interests not as any kind of official of the club but as the wife of Martin Widman and the Mother of Chris. its unfair to unleash such criticism on Martin as anyone who knows him knows he is straight down the line and an open book. Him and Barry make all the decisions together and equally they are consummate professionals. No one person is bigger than the club. Onto Chris. You’d do right to criticise the start of his season and I know it’s nothing more than he has been doing. He’s had some spectacular bike issues and that has led to a lack of confidence on the track and That’s not a great combination. Just when he thinks he’s gotten sorted, following some long head scratching hours and visits tonengine tuners, something else happens, that’s this season. He had a nasty Crash last year at Cradley where he had to have a wrist plated and probably went back too soon but that’s him all over which explains his issues last season. Also he’s switched from JAWAs to GM’s which have taken some getting used to but I’m afraid that’s where my mechanical savvy ends. I’m sure Barry and Martin are looking at the best interests of the Club on a regular basis !! Thanks for reading and I’ll now leave you to your discussion on what seemed like a good meeting on Friday night. Sadly, I wasn’t able to go.

Tracks in this country are Multi use. For example The IOW track is built round a football pitch. Lakeside is inside a a Car track, probably explains the anomalies. A few have packed in aswell

I must admit. I've not looked at the fixtures closely but, with a couple of quite dry spells, at some point they will be back to back.

Did Cradley need anybody at the time Hampshire was signed ?

I know all Teams have the same issues but, The Warriors were 0.04 off of having Campos and being able to put Kelsey at reserve. When you see it in Blak and White it makes you think. Kelsey could have been at Reserve where he neeeds to be with his current confidence levels but, it is what it is frustrating

The Rider, The Man, The Legend Enough said

Waco has always had a downer on the IOW because Ben has never been able to master the track

I'm sure you'll get over it !!

Lol !!

Probably tongue in cheek.😂😂😂

Doesn't mean people can't have an opinion because Kevin works hard. Or even get laughed at for voicing it surely

About what?

Not bad considering the forecast. 325 came out considering the forecast ? I'd say that is pretty good

Everyone is entitled to their opinions it's what drives the free world but you're are an altogether different Dinosaur

Oh I'd rather him than you any day views or. O views

They will but they won't have to use RR at 2 which has been the main problem so far. Only Widman and Reserves can take rides. Only losing marginally including Kelsey will take the pressure off Jamie

I think the processional racing is caused mainly by the rules in the league and it's 39 point total, most teams are too heavy to cater for it. You can only have a 3 point unattached rider to guest at 6 or 7. You have to have RR for your 1st rider absent which if it is a 2nd string you are stuffed unless you have a ringer reserve (res who is res in ave only) that said, I've seen some cracking ht 13's and 15's

I heard it was more to do with the 'compo' the noise could attract rather than anyone being bothered about the track being there

Do you suggest the 'failing' teams just close?

so if all these successful teams move up. Do you have any thoughts on what the league look like?

It would be too difficult to police. Any remainder could be declared as 'sponsorship' All BSPA shared events are paid at £10 a point

Gutted to see KLYS go. Best Wishes to all concerned. What would the NL be without the Standalone teams?. The riders have created this situation not the teams by having too higher demands. It's ok saying these teams should be in higher leagues. Who would be competing in the NL if it weren't for the stand alone. Is there a queue of higher leagues teams who have expressed an interest in running NL sides if the stand alones weren't in it ??

Wasn't Workington rescheduled from last night. Hence Williamson was also missing Time will tell. Although it is fun guessing

Lol

I think knight let Buxton down a couple of seasons ago when he was dropped from Sheffield. I think he signed for Buxton but then retired I seem to remember
