I think I'd start making plans for a replacement, god knows who like

I remember reading about the Southampton thing but a couple of people said i was talking when i mentioned it

the reason i asked is tto ascertain if things were stable, better or worse than recent times - no one expects 10000 anywhere, not scientific just an idea

well an idea would be interesting - i hope people contribute comments

would people report the crowd levels at the meetings they attend. Be good to keep an eye on things. Doesn't have to be accurate, just an idea

it can't be Halifax in Bradford, although if it was in Halfax there'd be better crowds

there's no shortage of young ones but they'd need to be in a weaker div2 than currently. So what if they wobble for a bit, 2nd div in 68 was full of wobblers, some of whom went on to the 1st division within a year or 2

not wishing to pick over the bones but does this release anyone to British leagues?

corruption requires organisational skills

well i know that, thought there must be progress. The land is still there, untouched as far as i can see

ah, the old Arsene Wenger 'I didn't see the incident' haha. I didn't see it because I wasn't there but there should be consequences if it was as bad as they say, although I would hate to pile misery on the Diamonds

what's happening at Reading? Have i missed something?

Historically Newcastle sports fans have wanted someone to hang their hats on - Shearer, Fabulous, McDonald, Owens, Mauger, Wilkinson. Even with an average 6 blokes below him they need someone like this. Hope they find one and soon or I fear for their future.

he gambled on being able to sign Bewley - if he had missed out on him what would you be saying then?

that is quite correct but there isn't the cash to strengthen it. No cash needed to reign in the strength of the second division with the bonus of NL prospects getting a chance. Also IOW and Mildy might be tempted to rejoin a cheaper division. The knock on should be 2 more members of the top div to 8 so more rides in the division and a severe curb on DU/DD and eventual ridding of it.

you've guessed

is the greyhound track still there? Is that a possibility?

careful, you'll be accused of making stupid or derogatory comments

see Mac101 for details - and no need for the abuse thanks but to spell it out it looks like he has signed for 2 Wednesday clubs which strikes me as rather farcical.

I wish birmingham well but this has the makings of a farce

all good reasons to cut div 2 team strengths drastically next year - esp with poss Worky and Easty coming back

yes, its not going to be challenged any time soon so long as promoters retain it

the asset system is still there because no one has yet challenged it. If they did it would be found to be unlawful and unenforceable under employment laws

I think what has been suggested is radical and workable. It might not be perfect as a plan but we can't go on like this. Its easy to chip away at posts like this, but how about coming up with a better solution instead of why this may not work. Not so easy

I'd be hard pushed to name many league winners in the last 5 years across all 3 leagues, its just not that important and in one case it cost the club its existence. You can watch a crap football match and be happy with a 1-0 win = speedway has to be entertaining, results second.
