  1. There may not be an obvious direct link but no doubt there will be a link somewhere, he or his services will possibly be used later or on an unconnected project.
  2. Always used to stand on the straight after the exit of bend 2 and had a great view of all the action on bend 1 and 2 at Swindon, no doubt BV would be the same, but the loss of viewing at bend 1 and 2 is a shame and not a good example for a major stadium.
  3. The whole squad need to race each other and others at BV over a day or two of testing.
  4. On BSPA website Scotty Nicholls is back with the GB squad after talks with Rosco.
  5. So how many wed night clubs fans will stay at home and watch Sky rather than go to either the meeting being shown or when someone like Lakeside visit.
  6. That is good, they may have to test their temp stands on bends 3 and 4 earlier than they thought.
  7. There was definitely a drop in fans from the visiting team as mid week travel for fans from clubs far away is often not possible, also people made a weekend of Sat at Swindon and Sun at another meeting.
  8. Scunthorpe in 2006 Rye House and Poole in 2007 Rye House in 2008
  9. If you are talking about Swindon have seen nothing about a change in dog racing night so that Swindon could race on a wed, the change from Saturday to Thursday caused the numbers of fans to reduce, another change may do the same again.
  10. Do not worry Gem, I am sure no one will remember or diarise your offer
  11. Also what brand of gaffa tape was best to fix a leak or crack.
  12. Not only for Swindon but also to save costs it would make sense to have two consecutive days, say wed and thurs.
  13. No, the stadium will be owned by Stadia uk and speedway rents the track off them, which is where the one night only falls down.
  14. Agreed, not interested in race times or seeing every race with riders strung out. Good close racing is what most want, a few seasons ago we continually had 5 - 1s and 4 - 2s most weeks and it got predictable and boring.
  15. Swindon cannot run on wednesdays unless the dog people change their race night, we can only run Mon, Thurs or Fri.
  16. They have left Oxford and returned to Old Deer Park, Richmond.
  17. It would help if all teams had ridden an equal number of meetings but providing there are not too many meetings run difference you could still do it as the averages would not change much. I agree that if it was 12 meetings for one club and 6 for another that then it may be awkward. Maybe a window would encourage all clubs to catch up on meetings not run and then a panic at the end of the season.
  18. Just wish we had a NL Club at or near Swindon.
  19. They should have two lasers one in place of the tapes, with the power to set light to the front tyre or melt the front wheel and one just behind the a#se of the riders to stop them moving or rolling backwards.
