Hope the new management get a good response for the meet the riders evening later. Be interesting who KKS chooses to stalk this year lol.

Agree with you HT, & can guarantee that I wont be going to Mildenhall when the Saints are due in town. Be interesting to see how long some of the new lads last if they are continually off the pace, & earning hardly any money.

Got to know Rob Godfrey a little bit last season, & have to say his enthusiasm & efforts are second to none when it comes to helping British youngsters. My opinions are more to do with the National League, & its continued improvement. A team desperately short of being competitive is not good for the league in my opinion. The riders mentioned didn't all progress from 3 pointers to good riders in the same team in the same season, & it isn't realistic to expect it to happen next season.

Would you pay to watch that team come to your track though ? I certainly wouldn't because they wont be competitive.

If the new promoters do read this thread, they need to keep a close eye on the security. Last season I was threatened by one of them for standing on a yellow line, & when I complained to the head of security, he justified it by saying that I had smirked at him. The same numpty had earlier put me in the casino car park because he was on his mobile phone & wasn't paying attention to where he was sending me.

Hope you are right Bagpuss, & agree that Lewis could surprise a few people this year. Has certainly got some top engines under him.

If it helps make them more competitive, then I think age shouldn't be a barrier. If the team of 3 pointers are getting thrashed every week, it could affect the confidence of the riders. Is Steve Jones any better than Lee Dicken ? He was only an example by the way.

MattR, whats the weather like in Finland in May ? Also, how does the price of drink & food compare to England ?

Ordered my season ticket, & cant wait for the season to start. Looks a very competitive League to me, & think we should see plenty of close matches. Bring it on !!

Haven't enjoyed my last 2 trips to Loomer Road, because the track had very little shale on it, & was poorly prepared. Can live with the sticky carpet in the bar, & filthy toilets if the action on the track is good. If the current owners did walk away, I don't think there would be many people prepared to take over.

Good luck to the Saints, but feel that they should go with at least 3 riders who are established National League riders. Can see them getting beaten by huge margins, especially away. Must add that their options aren't great with the riders that are still available. Would big Lee Dicken be interested in riding ?

All the people tipping Panthers to win the fours obviously don't realise Dryml isn't available.

The best option for the fans would be a joint venture between Sandhu & Findlay. Whether they are interested in working together, is another matter.

Looks very bleak for Coventry & i'm gutted for the fans. Hope Sandhu is true to his word, but I have my doubt's.

If it's been sold for a million pound, & a new site is required, plus a new stadium & track,surely this would cost more. What has Sandhu gained by selling ?

The money is paid in advance, which is good for any business, & if results go against you, you will still have most season ticket holders attending meetings. Seems common sense to make season tickets good value at all tracks in my opinion.

What about Panthers £250, you can compare that, & it includes parking.

I feel extremely fortunate to be reasonably fit & healthy. Any help that can be given to anyone with disabilities & any carers would be welcomed by me. If that puts me in the minority, then its a sad world we now live in.

Sceamer, has this been confirmed anywhere ?

Garrity will clean up at reserve all season, & should be closer to 6 by the end of the season.

SCB kids go to speedway either because they want to go, or their parents take them because they haven't got a babysitter. The amount of kids kicking a football at the EOES suggests its the 2nd reason. The point you are missing, is that the disabled person has to pay for the carer which will result in them not going as they can't afford it.Trying to justify your point by asking if a child should go on their own is a very poor argument.The majority of carers go to various events for the person they are looking after, not for personal gain.

Speedway doesn't give a lot of discount for season ticket holders compared to football. Still a good price to watch Elite at Lynn.

£250 for admission, programme, & car park for a minimum of 20 matches is good value in my opinion. Dont know the price of Kings Lynn season tickets, & would be interested to know.

Whatever format they come up with, the fact remains that they are charging Elite prices for a part National & Premier product.This is wrong in my opinion, & i'm happy that Panthers are in the Premier, & charging the product accordingly.

Don't think he is worth the effort of responding to in any way Crump 99.
