any details of the formula? Might be handy for next year

what about your loyalty Biffo

not sure the Bears can fit anyone in for Stewart, be surprised if they drop anyone else

great character and bloody good at Div 2 level

i agree there has been a change in attitude, I can't argue. I think Havelock's reign was also to do with a crap track prep and animosity towards him personally as he i sa prickly customer - ask TWK. Cradley were whipping boys for years but the track survived

but there is a way forward even if teams include so called lesser riders. Looking at the scores in the first season of the BL for every Boocock and Briggs there were loads of second strings and reserves who never climbed any further and they weren't slung out of the team at the drop of a hat. http://edinburghspeedway.blogspot.com/2014/03/british-league-averages-1965.html look towards the bottom of the list, loads of riders below 3.00 riding quite a few fixtures for their teams. Also see how many teams used only 1 guest all season. Guess the pointless 'bust a gut' to win everything wasn't there

would that be the meaningless play offs?

its just people react on here they never would face to face, I've done it myself. Viagra works a treat btw

weapons down boys.

apropos of nothing I was just reading this morning that Kings Lynn FC charge £26 admission. Saddlebow Road is a relative bargain! However they will play in the rain

I could give you 5 where I wish I'd never bothered haha

agree but they weren't riding uncontrollable rockets then

they'd have 2ce as many meetings obviously so it should even out, plus more rides per meeting if i understand the Danish format correctly. I think this is the way to go.

a more adventurous approach would see Spain, Italy, USA, Germany etc.

maybe, just maybe, one day the penny will drop. Funny how Glasgow are the rich guys now when for years they clung to life. All tracks need each other and all will have their ups and downs, even Poole went ** up once. Needs to be pitched at the poorest track or the whole thing will collapse. Tim Swales said that donkeys years ago

I saw that - disgraceful if true

is the weather ok more importantly

what is it with you and shifting posts?

no it should be left here to shame the powers that be

just wondering - did they do any customer research before they moved the start time?

nobody earns anything til at least 16 so if you want them you have to entice them. But do you know what you have to do more than anything? Don't make them embarrassed to be there or say they were there because its perceived to be naff or uncool

and now, the fewer people go the more the price goes up. That'll work.

Basically, if you're good enough, ride in another league and top up your money, otherwise ride here in 1 league for 1 team and work part time. Get paid what the track can afford and cap what Poole/Glasgow/whoever chuck at it to even things up.

absolutely this - there is no other way

talk of 13 heats and a second half just reminds me of half the crowd filing out after ht13
