Which one?

I just hope he lives up to his expectations and we have a good season and stop that interminable moaning.

Yes I guess we could all use a bit more commitment !!! It's all so easy come easy go nowadays

Maybe it's on both

But.....it should work both ways. It's not a 1 way street

I'm sure you would appreciate another point of view Hamish. What teams declare the content of sponsorship deals? Maybe main Sponsors have been coming forward with bigger deals each season that the original ones couldn't compete with or didn't want to? There were considerably more names on the board if you see the photo's from the Friday presentation.

Could make sense hasn't he been mentoring Max Clegg? and isn't he a mate of Ted's.

I thought the start-line girls did take the sport seriously but they appear to be on the BSF so that's my theory blown out of the water.

To be fair the season ticket was a good deal this year and that was without play off's, for those attending all the meetings. I did think about it but I couldn't guarantee to get to all meetings so I didn't buy one.

Nice diversionary tactics there to swing the discussion round to the track again. This could be at least a 5 pager

When it comes to a member of our great Parliament doing anything. There is always a 'fee'

The BSPA probably can't afford the 'fees'

MK's mechanic posted it on FB

My apologies I thought he had hooked up with a promoter who runs a team there. So is that the way round the rule just ride a series of ind. meetings?

How comes Lambert was allowed a 3 when he has been in a team in Germany?

Len Silver's press release said it all. "We thought it was a rubber stamp exercise" applying for a legal document such as a visa should never be taken for granted.

Well I for 1 am pleased this is sorted and maybe now we can move on and get another couple of riders. I'm getting tired of the endless Visa threads on FB and here. ;-/

Keep up !!!!!! :-)

We have had teams planned before and it's not got us very far who knows an unplanned team could be just the ticket :-)

It was just that some were saying they wouldn't go because of the strung out races so just an idea to put the reserves up against themselves and the 2nd strings and Heatleaders race each other as EL but thanks PP & TR for your thoughts on the subject.

If people are worried about competitiveness of the racing why not follow the same line as the EL is this season and follow their race format whichever that maybe but rather than keep 6&7 at reserve all season who ever rides at reserve follows that format. It could encourage a few more risks with newbies :-)

Welcome to the world of the Speedway closed season

That should cheer Waco up. That could be at least another 5 pages of discussion :-)

Good point if you want competitive amateur racing you have to go to Scunny. I don't know of any other track who puts on Amateur meetings in the winter, Newport used to put on a winter series. So invariably riders will come through Scunny.

I know you and your family are passionate about Scunny and yes Scunny do a lot for riders but the fact remains that put yourself in the place of the Heathens with no track and if not for track share no team. I'm sure the Heathens supporters would love to have such a set up but at the moment they share a track with an EL team and dogs. One day they may have a similar place to Scunny but until then they have to put up with what they have and I think they do well. They have a procession of guests from the local authorities to give them a feel for the need for the sport, in the area. They wouldn't be able to do that with a team that sank to the bottom of the table every season with mainly the volunteers and riders families standing on the terraces as support. I have a sneaky suspicion that the Heathens fans don't do losing so the management need to provide a winning team to support their argument and retain their support. Scunny have that it's the Scorpions
