  1. Intriguing. Would Mr Hemsleys company be in a position to grant a 15-year lease?If not, the lease might have been struck with the council, and Mr Hemsley has been by-passed or has even left the stage. Anyways, the new lot need to get working on that track, before it turns into a swamp.
  2. Presuming Coventry Speedway is still going to be the headleaseholder from 1/1/17,would just running speedway be viable? I thought Stox were needed for providing a substantial slice of the stadium operating costs.
  3. Well I don't like getting involved in any of the childish slagging off stuff that goes on and on and on.... Bit o childish humour don't do any harm tho, hopefully Comrade Orlov may have a wee chuckle. Anyways, I'll go and let the usual morons get on with the mud-slinging!
  4. Nothing wrong with him covering himself in doodles and sticking Pontefract Cakes in his ears, if he wants to. I'm over 75 and often go around wearing my underpants on my head and pencils stuck up my nose
  5. Another whingeing Aussie. Surely Monsterland can give him a benefit meeting instead, along with his Monster mates Greg and Noddy.
  6. The leagues only as strong as it's weakest link
  7. If I were Swindon I'd give Mr Doyle the boot now, and re-build the team whilst it's not too late. It is crazy to have such high dependence on one rider, who is costing 2 points at least in terms of team strength. No guarantee he will be 100% next year after the injuries, either. Loyalty? Contracts? Balderdash!! It's all just one big revolving door. Riders know that, so do promoters.
  8. Wolves and KL to complete, then see what's left for Leicester presuming Belle Vue will be OK and have their 7 already lined up. Then a case of seeing which of those left over actually want to be with Leicester ( or don't have any options left). Would Leicester have been better going into Division 2 and building a team to compete for promotion, develop more of an asset base and also re-employ Mr Graversen? Or should they carry on up the Khyber?
  9. I forget who it was now, but someone posted a couple of weeks ago that Mr Landlord Hemsley aka Risgby had said there wouldn't be anyone available to open and lock up during the week
  10. That's the stuff! It all just needs a bit more imagination and thinking outside the box. Nicknames have got so boring and predicatable. For example - rather than Scott "Scotty" Nicholls - make it Scott "The Suffolk Punch" Nicholls And how about Adam "Meccano" Roynon?
  11. Bring it on I say. Robert "Five Flavours" Pfetzing is hard to beat! The sport's got to do something to broaden its appeal. Maybe the BSPA can hire Rob Walker to give things a much-needed makeover. I'm just wondering which rider would have the nickname "Interesting". Timo "Skinny" Lahti?
  12. Is it time for speedway to follow snooker, and for riders to all have nicknames used in the pre-match introductions?
  13. Good quality bo//ocks needs time to compose.I look forward to seeing pictures ofMessrs Horton and Sandhu, hand in hand skipping through spring meadows
  14. A set of pre-owned track lights might be better value
  15. About 2 months after the thread I started on 31 May ? ;-)
  16. When do they expect all of the development and building costs to have been recouped by incomes?
  17. What's this? Speedway promoters working collaboratively in their mutual interests?What's happened to Little Boy Blue's "sink or swim" outlook? Goodness me, what is the world coming to? I'm sure there's a pecking order. Once BV is secured, will Leicester become the priority with the 8-team threshold having been reached? Maybes a Bogoff deal?
  18. The clock is ticking. Surely, there has to be a deadline? The league cannot just keep waiting to see if these two are actually going to run next season. Is there another club lined-up to make up the numbers? What can Chapman and the BSPA actually do?
  19. 1. Greg Hancock 2. Tomasz Gollob 3. Greg Walasek 4. Adam Skornicki 5. Michael Max 6. Jon Armstrong 7. Tony Atkin What would that team add up to?
  20. It's perfectly understandable and right that details of negotiations, including identities, are witheld until the ink is dry on the contracts. But it can't be too difficult to just say something basic such as "negotiations with prospective new promoters are currently taking place"......I think that's all that is needed.
