  1. It is long overdue that the old disused tank farms were demolished and adjacent land prepared for possible development if it means a possibility of jobs for the area. The council prospectus shows the available development land boundary along the southern edge of the Speedway if I remember rightly. There is no detail on Cumbria Crack re the actual extent of the security fence. I would think it somewhat beneficial if any security fence ran along the Speedway southern boundary in the east - west direction. There was talk a while back of possible interest from a company who make bio aviation fuel to build a production facility.
  2. For certain clubs visiting fans help make the sport more financially viable, add to meeting atmosphere and help reinforce the feeling that the sport is actually worthy of travelling for to witness live. Travelling to the likes of Poole for Northern clubs fans on a Wednesday isn't so practical, this is were BSN is beneficial. However, if fans who would normally travel within a certain distance to support their team stopped doing so en block because they have a BSN package purchased at a very low price per meeting then this would be detrimental to the sport. Rumour mill was that because the TV money has currently been lost the BSPL are wanting a bigger slice of the BSN pie the result of which would be a lower payout for individual clubs at Championship level.
  3. Don't wish your life away mate, the years pass all too quickly and appear to go faster with age.
  4. I was actually rounding it up with you in mind 😃. You boys with super inflated pension pots will take no harm. As a former British Steel deferred pensioner I was seriously shocked at the size of the transfer value amounts some of you boys at TSP had . I have already tipped Andrew off to work on you as a possible Premium Sponsor 💰🤣
  5. See the BSN Package prices have been released. At around £5-70 a stream I struggle to see how these prices do the remaining Speedway clubs any favours. Championship 30 streams for £169-99.
  6. Hope you weren't getting stuck into the donuts 🍩. You must have been in there because Andrew don't run to Greggs he goes in the van 🤣
  7. As far as I know the lights are to be new.
  8. Makes you wonder how the 8% figure was arrived at and by whom.
  9. About 6 weeks AC . AB working elsewhere next working week.
  10. Head torches available at the pay booth 😃
  11. Reds are reportedly using their lights in the new stadium so I was informed by someone well connected with the club. I believe Comets will be installing floodlights but nothing has happened to date. There are 7 weeks untill the first home meeting . The clocks go forward on 29th March. The reported sunset time on 4th April the date of our first home fixture is 7-52pm .
  12. I was told Viv doesn't have parentage and hasn't actually qualified for a visa anyway. Maybe next year.
  13. Tough gig for young Jamie riding Championship but I wish him well. Looks almost too young on that social media signing video 😃. Could put a bit more pressure on Vinnie but that's the cost of a potential strong top 5.
