A much better experience than last weeks effort at KL. Gripes would be totally unorganised at disabled gate which is fairly normal, I had my money ready to pay but was informed extra £1 required for parking. Can go along with this but if known before would have had exact money ready and waiting. Meeting well organised and proceeded smoothly, but the the continued obsession with tractor marathons is irritating, -
Hope Lewis benefited greatly financially from this meeting. Perhaps things got better later on, possibly the most boring meeting I have ever been to, spectators all around were heard to say they are bored or fed up. Why I wonder does every meeting at Kings Lynn have have tractor endurance events. Hope you did well Lewis but very poor fare IMO spectator wise.

Needs to be taken with large pinch of salt ,but implies/hints that Panthers to be re located. I also read that it will take a minimum of 4 years. Could be a good idea if someone from Panthers would elaborate. A flight of pigs has just flown past my window

Seems to me that the only possible way of Speedway coming back to Brandon is for some sort of consortium to buy the Stadium from the present owners . Until this happens it is all just whistling in the wind.

That is Russia for you under whatever totalitarian regime is in control at the time, freedom of thought and speech is limited . Interestingly Russia claims it is trying to get rid of Nazi leaders in Ukraine but my neighbour who is Jewish tells me that the current leaders in Ukraine are in fact Jewish.

Wembley was my home track, been to Hyde Road several times, been to Somerton Park but only for football -
Sorry I bothered

A lot better food and drink outlets than there are at Peterborough

I doubt unfortunately that Speedway will ever come back to Norwich . at least while those in charge at KL have any input.
-
The obvious answer is for track to be guaranteed or provided before planning permission granted . I see no enthusiasm for Speedway in the platitudes issued from prospective developers. Greed and avarice is forever the driving factor..

Think Starke has reached his level , still able to do a job

The Scots like most Gaelic nations would do anything to get one over England. They forget that it was England that was landed with a Scottish King not the other way round. Myself as half Irish have always thought of the UK as one entity and have never understood the reluctance of Scotland, Ireland and Wales not to do the same. I will support England in sporting events etc but also hope the other members of the UK do well,

When I lived in Norwich , went to KL and Ipswich for most meetings , Boston on occasions

Unlikely I would think that Mr Chapman would enthusiastically welcome a Norwich revival. Speedway has always been ruled by self interest of most.

Problem with Ostergaard is that prior to injury his performances were greatly above what were expected. The RR and guest facility worked massively in our favour.
