  1. Still get goosebumps when remembering that night too macca!I was only 13 and dont expect any better even if I make 113!!
  2. IMO Group winners to be - Sheffield Glasgow Newcastle Plymouth
  3. makes some sense. Would be one of the most difficult to rearrange so get them on early and will then have more options if the weather means its called off.
  4. Not sure if I picked up the right info or not re the facility if a draft rider is unavailable for a PL fixture due to a clash. Is it still just r/r or can a guest be used this year? Early clash for us with Lewi Kerr - Sat 2nd home to Sheff the same night as Lakeside at Leicester.
  5. reading between the lines of the various statements i dont see that Simon did decline the Kings Lynn offer - he was announced after very much accepting it. Only then when the fixture clashes were highlighted and it seems that certain sponsorship on the Pboro side of things was threatened did he change his mind.
  6. sounds more like he was given an ultimatum....Wonder if he has also been given a gurantee of his place.....
  7. These Bank Holiday dates have been replaced with Saturday night slots. When we have run a couple of times on a Saturday the crowds have been nearly on a par with the Bank Holidays. The night racing is invariably better than the daytime meetings too. On balance I think most are happier with the arrangements this year and hopefully the finances wont be hampered as a result.
  8. first thing in my head here was the Dads Army episode..... You are going on the list - what is your name? Dont tell him Pike?
  9. well I for one was really struggling to work out the source for the facebook link...... who are this Berwick Speedway Ltd running that page? wink
  10. And there was me thinking that a speedway club might be grateful for any effort to spread the word and improve its chances as a business....
  11. I see it stated a couple of posts up that he only married last summer. I thought that although that may secure residency and working rights under spousal visa it was not possible to apply for a passport for a number of years after (3??)
  12. dont have to look back far for examples - both Rob Lambert and Adam Ellis I believe only rode a few meetings in NL in the season prior to entering the main league. Without doing so neither couldve entered on the 3 point assessment.
  13. For weeks many of you Pussycats have been looking for an excuse to bin Lambert - perhaps now youve found it.......
  14. Plenty of choice - Ipswich have even signed a spare just in case. wink
  15. if aussies are now a 5 perhaps they all are from wherever.....
  16. From the radio snippet I had assumed the signing was as an asset but reading the website it doesnt seem so. Agree with others that a loan is a strange one just as a No8.
  17. Radio Suffolk report that we have made a new signing with an eye to the future. Danny Hume (hope I have that right - apologies if not) from Rye. 19 ex MX rider.
  18. I think last year was much more about needs must to make the top 5 fit than 'embracing the concept in duplicate' and now its a convenient deflection strategy for you.
  19. A bold and attractive pricing - much lower than that I thought it may be set at (and I considered my guess decent value) Lets hope the turn out justifies the move.
  20. Its those extra fingers all you lot in Norfolk have - plays havoc when it comes to counting ! wink
  21. many times the catchphrase "speedway is a £10 sport" has been qouted on here.£50 for the 2 days would effectively be that in this case. Given the status of the meeting as well it doesnt seem unreasonable to me
  22. 36 heats a day - lots of points to pay out for. Saturday is effectively 3 x 12 heat meetings so if you were buying a £50 2 day ticket would be the equivalent of £15 for your own teams meeting and £5 for each of the neutral meetings. Sunday a 20 heat individual and 16 heat final each of which would be £20 as single meetings so £25 for the 2 would seem very reasonable IMO I certainly cant see it being less than my £50 2 day / £30 each single day.
