Thanks rider slider. Really pleased the house has been altered to make life a little easier for Ricky. His Dad came across as an amazing loyal parent on a video clip I watched a while back.

Does anyone have any recent updates on how Ricky is doing, & if his house was modified with the money from his benefit meeting ? I will never forget that awful night at Scunthorpe when he had his accident, or the silence on the journey home, as we were all in shock.

If the British final is at Belle Vue, I will make every effort to attend, because there is a very good chance the racing will be top notch. Don't think it will be as good as the World cup though, as that was something special.

I fear that if the Bees aren't back at Brandon by July, there won't be enough money from the Leicester experience to complete the season. Hope & pray that they go back to a re-furbished Brandon, & get the chance to stay there until a new home is found. Will go to watch them at Leicester early in the season, to try & help them keep their head above water, & urge other neutral fans to do the same.

Kings Lynn, because Batchelor is capable of putting 2 points on his average, & if he does, their 3 heatleaders will be the best in the league.

Buster needs to sort bends 1& 2 as soon as possible. A few good meetings, & this idea might stand a chance.

With a high number of riders racing in both leagues, don't think it would have much credibility.

Would sound a lot more promising if Sandhu commited to putting the stadium back together.

How many clubs will Horton be allowed to ruin. Hope he isn't allowed anywhere near Leicester, & it's just another rumour.

Sorry to go slightly off topic, but are Coventry racing next season ?

I'm hoping for the Bees to survive, with a new promoter, & Horton not involved.

Skidder, if it wasn't Jonothan Chapman, surely he would have spoken to the mods about somebody using his picture on their profile. He talks way to much sense to be who you suspect it is.

If Horton has told the riders to find a new club, why hasn't he had the decency to inform the long suffering fans that its all over ? Has somebody cut Watsons strings ?

Perhaps Neil Watson is too busy composing another pointless poem to post anything regarding the tragic situation Coventry appear to be in.

Neil, What is the current situation regarding Coventry speedway running this year ? Could you ask Mick, & put it on here, if you don't know the answer. Think your loyal fans deserve to know the state of affairs.

Neil Watson is Hortons puppet, so he isn't going to say anything, because Horton isn't saying anything.

What will happen if the engine goes bang, will it be guaranteed ?

The biggest mystery to me, is the BSPA allowing Horton to be involved with speedway. He has hardly got a good track record has he ?

Think a few of us on here should apologise to Starman. He isn't in mrcts league when it comes to being the forum clown.

Running a club from the other end of the country is a massive commitment from Ged & his family. Add all the unpaid hours that Trevor, Carl & all the supporters club members & volunteers put in, & we are in a very fortunate position. Thanks to all.

Regarding Edinburgh's chances of success next season, there are doubts that some riders will improve or maintain their averages. However, most teams have the same problem in my opinion. If the new Aussie turns out ok, they have another rider to add to their asset base. Would rather have him than a 5 point journeyman, who has no chance of improving.

MAYBE your New Years resolution should be to stop talking crap, & have a sensible debate about speedway jenga.

Buster must alter bends 1 & 2 before the season starts. He could do the work, or oversee the work, to help keep the cost down. The extra casual fans, & returning former fans will make it a worthwile effort in my opinion. I would go to a few meetings, & there is normally 4 in my car if I go to away meetings. Love the stadium, & being really close to the action.

Give Newman an injury free season, & I can see him improving. The margins between success & failure in speedway are tight. Jason Doyle didn't look like the best rider in the world a few seasons back, so riders improve at different speeds.

Batchelor will improve his average by a couple of points in my opinion.
