  1. Given Bill holding a high rank locally, I'm sure he could have got planning applications through around speedway and use if he really wanted too! They sold out for a big wedge, fair play, any business savvy individual would, so don't really see the point in the Scunthorpe comment in the press release.
  2. Sad news indeed - a fantastic race track and some really lovely people involved! Fair play to Debbie for making a detailed statement - but not sure too many people will buy the as if by chance conversation etc! With Bungalow Bill holding a high rank locally, he quite understandably has cashed in on prime land, who can blame him in current times! I'm also sure he could have got planning applications through around speedway and use if he really wanted too, so part of her statement has tarnished things a bit for me! Just be honest and say we are making a tidy sum by flogging the land, instead of losing money running speedway! No one can blame them for that!
  3. Reports suggest a Surfing incident but haven't seen this official as yet - very sad nice guy.
  4. Crump next, they obviously have a few quid to burn.
  5. Scotty Nicholls announced this week, Ulrich Ostergaard will be named week after.
  6. Pretty much sums it up perfectly! The revenue received from SKY was never invested in anyway, no short term (let alone medium or long term) strategy was ever implemented and remember that due to a commission the BSPA naively agreed with the man who negotiated the SKY deal, meant a large chunk of the amount paid by the broadcaster never went to the clubs. The BSPA failed to capitalise on the more than credible viewing figures to land a title sponsor, shameful! Too many petty little squabbles saw promoters try and out do each other on points money paid to certain riders. All comes down to the fact that a the sport's weak self governance failed miserably and they totally ballsed everything up by taking SKY for granted and even going back cap in hand at one point! Massive opportunity lost - never get another chance like that!
  7. What average would Emil Grondal have in Championship?
  8. Seems Gordon P keeping his money in his pocket thanks to the mngmt committee. Things looking bleak for BV now.
  9. Problems with drafty bottom too. Might be a mambo with The Lambo. Cut with the sword of Wilkinson!
  10. Yep! Kerr for Bates. After LK declined a Friday night ride.
  11. No.....there is likely to be a REVOLUTION in same two teams this year!
  12. Should be an interesting run up to Xmas, with a club changing race nights to accommodate a new signing! What will that mean for a reserve already committed to a PL club that night, maybe he'll get the chance to ride for another EL team or maybe he won't want to go there in favour of a trip to the Midlands with his mate!
  13. Hangers on, go hand in hand with all star pro's. Not sure Kings Lynn, Wolves or any other promotions could make a difference.
  14. Maybe you can challenge him to a dance off next time you are hanging onto your wives coat tail at a sponsors bash!
