  1. So if they joined the NDT they'd have 5 matches (Birmingham, Leicester, Kent, King's Lynn and Plymouth). They could conceivably invite Belle Vue, Edinburgh, Oxford, Middlesbrough and Scunfield for a challenge. So 5 matches, maybe expandable to 10 matches..... but he wants to run more than once a week? They don't even make their bullsh1t logical.
  2. Yes. More lies from Osborne. He was never serious about "Reading Racino" it was just a distraction to allow him to demolish Reading Speedway. Grosvenor Casinos realised he wasn't serious and went ahead and built their casino in a different part of Reading. If I recall correctly the Gordon Brown thing was about relaxing gambling laws to allow a massive "Super Casino" to be built in either Blackpool or Manchester. When the bid was won by Manchester rather than Blackpool, things cooled off, and Brown decided there were better things to build rather than SuperCasinos. Brown's decision had no effect on Grosvenor Casinos opening a casino in Reading. Neither the pie in the sky Speedway track/Casino, nor the actual Casino that they did build in Reading, and which I believe is still there.
  3. If a reputable builder offered to lay your patio, you might be excited. If it was Fred West, you'd perhaps be a little more worried.
  4. Can someone go down there today and straightforward ask the question "What guarantees are you offering that the current Swindon Abbey stadium won't be demolished until the new stadium is built?" Film their answer on your phone...
  5. Not sure what you're smoking, but it must be strong stuff.
  6. He was also behind a Rye House revival that went t1ts up and had to be bailed out by Len Silver at a considerable financial cost. And also behind the 2002 revival of Wimbledon that also went sour within a few months, as he fell out with his business partner. (Norbold may be able to tell you more. Wonder if Norbold ever got paid?) The aforementioned business partner later got a criminal conviction for fencing laptops and computers stolen from the army. He also recently had a bit of a falling out with the Iwade owners, and as you say there was the "pie in the sky" Norwich showboating, I'd love to see Mildenhall back. One of my favourite places despite the often "unpredictable" track. But I'd be careful who they get into bed with.
  7. Can't see anything crazy in his response. Seems very straightforward and easy to understand.,
  8. My guess of 3 weeks ago wasn't a bad guess then.
  9. Really don't know what you're struggling with. Riders are signed by clubs, and once contracts are signed and a press release is made to confirm the signing, they are added to the club's list of signed riders. Once a club has signed 7 riders, they have to be submitted to BSP Ltd, and ratified as a legal 1-7.
  10. Which one are you suggesting isn't any good?
  11. Yes, I recall this the same way as you. I believe it was Dave Lanning's idea for the club to place a bet on themselves as a publicity stunt, with the money shared out if they won. The bet came in and the Promotion and the riders got paid a share, but Dave Lanning didn't, and he had to later sue the club (or at least threaten to sue) for his share. Even back in those more prosperous times, there was no prize money for winning the league.
  12. I thought it was an explanation that most people of above average intelligence would understand, but obviously not everybody
  13. If I go on a TV quiz show and win a trip to Las Vegas for the family, that's a prize. If I pay to take my family to Las Vegas, that's just a holiday. Other than a trophy, there is no prize for the 2nd division winners in Speedway, but Poole did take their riders on a holiday. Hope that helps explain.
  14. I expect Armadale to be Connor Coles 8.00 Dayle Wood 7.76 Matt Marson 6.20 Sam McGurk 5.56 Kyran Lyden 3.53 Lee Harrison 3.00 Mark Parker 3.00
  15. Add Luke Harris to complete the Scuntfield team
  16. Luke Harris signs to complete the Scuntfield team.
  17. He used to nick Hot Tubs from Asda before he branched out into Mars Bars. https://www.southwalesargus.co.uk/news/23780835.newport-hot-tub-thief-jailed-shoplifting-spree/
  18. Worth it for the comments section https://www.southwalesargus.co.uk/news/24818481.one-man-crime-wave-newport-jailed-shoplifting/
  19. Yep. And a difference of just 0.2 inches of rainfall between Manchester in June and Wroclaw in August.
