What about Stadia availability? At certain Stadia you can only Race on a particular Night. That is decided by the 'Landlord' - there is not much a Promoter can do about that. Either accept the Night or close. What happens then? I would not be for closing Tracks.

Any chance of a Link please Trees? As I say - I have never heard of them.

Hard to argue with that SP. But sometimes Tracks size and shape are dictated by the Dog Track surrounding it. You can only do your best with what you have to work with.

Well, I for one hope that Greg has a few years left. If you are good enough - age doesn't matter. That means those at the top end as well as those at the bottom end of the age range.

A good point that. So, in a nutshell, probably not much recognition for Tai or Speedway at any Awards Ceremony. Just have to hope for a tiny 'clip' on SPOTY - and if it is there at all - it will be tiny.

Well I've never heard of these Courses.

Tut, Tut!!! :nono: :rofl:

It would be good if it could happen - but it won't. I would imagine, as you say, Costs could be a big issue.

It's thinking like that that does the Sport no good. You alienate your current Support and hardly encourage new. I am not resistant to sensible change, however, change for change's sake is not the way to go - and yet they do it every Season.

Do you not mean 'rocket ships' compared to the old days? Those few who remain have accepted it and I suppose that is part of the problem. Had someone stood up and said 'no' to certain changes within the Sport years ago - we would not be where we are now.

I couldn't agree more - the trouble is Speedway is becoming more and more complicated Season by Season. Season by Season - less people are attending. ................. and they are wondering why?

Once again we seem to be presented with more and more confusing Rules. :rolleyes: Reading this Thread anyway......................................

Now I've heard it all - a Patriotic 'Cock'. :o :unsure:

Which is in itself a great skill. I bet that most other Riders wish they had reactions like Greg - for a man of 45 years of age, his reactions are phenomenal.

I can remember Masters parking his Bike across the Track whilst the Race continued at Newcastle a few years back - very dangerous to the other Riders. I have never liked him since.

Agreed!!

Another good question to which I don't know the answer. On second thoughts - probably Costs?

I wouldn't have phrased it that way - but it is a good question.

Really sad and, for me anyway, unexpected News. R.I.P. + Bob. My condolences to his Family and friends.

There used to be many Rules - they dropped them for dafter ones.

I hope everything heals well. Good luck Jason.

Mauger, Sjosten too - those were the days.

Wasn't he in the James Bond book of the same name?

Stop all the 'Doubling ups' as you put it - and there will be no Elite League Speedway next Season.

I don't agree - I'll leave it at that.
